Lawmakers kill bills meant to protect rights of accused male students

I cannot for the life of me imagine a sane argument against any of the 3 bills in question.

The one requiring the campus to report an allegation to PD I get... I disagree with it, but I get the argument. It comes from a well-intended but badly tunnel visioned assumption that the accuser is a victim, and the victim's wishes are more important than anything.

But the 3 shot down this week? Granting individual students legal counsel (on their own bill)... Granting student organizations legal counsel (likewise not free)... And allowing an appeal, but only if the accused is willing to risk it becoming a criminal investigation?

How are any of those things bad for anybody involved?

Schools would have the protection of being able to say they did due diligence AND protected everyone's rights. The accused would stand a fucking chance. And the accuser would still be fine.

I can taste the patriarchy and it tastes like privilege. Privilege to have every accusation follow you for the rest of your life, just because some dumb girl decided to say she was raped who knows how many years later.

This is looking pretty grim.

What the fucking fuck? Where are all of the berjillion constitutional challenges?

This is a joke - a travesty.

This is that male privilege stuff feminists are always talking about.

I can see why they hate it so.

I am sure the Feminist political machine will jump to make sure these bills get passed in the future. I mean they claim they work for men's rights all the time!

I can't look at this from when I am. Can anyone talk about what some of the bills entailed?
