Heather Mac Donald: 'Epidemic of Campus Rape Is Simply Hallucinatory' | Breitbart

I'm sorry to be the guy that throws out the baby with the bath water. But nothing this woman claims should be taken factually. I tried to read one of her recent books despite knowing I would have a very different opinion. The whole thing was whiny rhetoric and unsubstansiated claims. Quick Google searches revealed that many things she says are completely factually false. For someone who claims to be an academic and belongs to multiple think tanks she can't cite a source for shit.

“This idea that we’re living through an epidemic of campus rape is simply hallucinatory, although that’s being a little too gracious to it because, again, it is a deliberate concoction on the part of campus feminists and the Title IX bureaucracy,” Mac Donald, who is also a Manhattan Institute fellow and a contributing editor to City Journal, told House.

According to Mac Donald, the reality is much simpler: the effects of falsely assuming that men and women are the same. “What’s going on on college campuses is the nervous breakdown of sexual liberation with this drunken hookup culture that, it turns out, females don’t really enjoy as much as males do. No surprise there. Sexual liberation pretended males and females were identical in their desires for no strings attached casual sex,” she told House.

The #MeToo Movement also, according to Mac Donald, has links to the false assumptions of the campus left. “The #MeToo Movement has built upon the whole ideology of feminism. For sure there are real predators out there, particularly in the workplace where you have disparities, hierarchies of power. But, unsurprisingly, it has gone way beyond that, where you now have people that are bringing criminal charges against somebody that maybe made an unwanted gesture at a Christmas party,” she said.

The effect, as with identity politics and the supposed prevalence of racism and sexism in American society, is to feed into the “vicious cycle” of corrosion of meritocracy. “The real problem is it’s being leveraged into a redoubling of race and gender quotas throughout the economy as a response to this supposed male patriarchy,” Mac Donald told House.

Interesting. I mean most of this has been blatantly obvious to many for decades, but only a very few women took a stand on this, and the number has changed very little over the years. Sure, now we have Cassie Jaye, Karen S, and several others, but unless and until a majority of women stand up for what's right rather than what's to their advantage, things will just continue to get worse. I do not predict any changes in this regard, women, in general have no empathy for men in general, and they primarily look out for themselves, so laws that discriminate in women's favor are perceived as 'equality' and defended by that euphemism.
