In light of #believeSurvivors, let us remember when the survivor was male and his abuser was a feminist female professor.

Could we please not start using the word "survivor"? It seems to imply that sexual assault is often lethal. It's not.

Just sounds so overly dramatic to me.

According to a major 2004 study commissioned by the U.S. Department of Education – the most in-depth investigation to date – nearly 10 percent of U.S. public school students have been targeted with unwanted sexual attention by school employees.

Titled “Educator Sexual Misconduct: A Synthesis of Existing Literature,” the report says the mistreatment of students ranges from sexual comments to rape. In fact, says the study’s author Charol Shakeshaft, professor of educational administration at Hofstra University in Hempstead, N.Y., the scope of the school-sex problem appears to far exceed the clergy-abuse scandal that has recently rocked the Roman Catholic Church.

Comparing the incidence of sexual misconduct in schools with the Catholic Church scandal, Shakeshaft notes that a recent study by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops concluded 10,667 young people were sexually mistreated by priests between 1950 and 2002.

MeToo is about status seeking. It's not about sexual assault.

"I was once attractive enough that a man overstepped the line! Honest! I swear!"

If it were about sexual assault we would be focussing incessantly on the countless boys being raped by their female teachers.

What is your point? He got believed, and Avital Ronell didn't.

The only exception I saw was 50 of her high-flying academic buddies who wrote a shockingly ill-considered defense of her. This was widely criticised by ordinary feminists, including academics in her field. I don't recall seeing a single defense of her outside of that group letter.

Academics will always support a superstar, it is a profession where few graduates find relevant jobs and competition naturally involves personal connections a lot. It is an abuse-o-genic environment.
