The feminist hostility to due process for college men accused of sexual assault is on full display. Betsy DeVos, Trump’s nominee for secretary of education, and her husband, donated $10,000 to the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), the nonpartisan organization that defends free speech and due process on college campuses. That isn't sitting well with with the usual suspects, who say it's a "red flag" suggesting she doesn't care about college rape victims.

And this is how far we've come. Supporting fair processes that insure the accused receives notice of the claims against him and a fair opportunity to defend against them is now a "red flag." Concern for fairness for the accused means having no concern for rape victims. It's all-or-nothing. A nominee for a cabinet position can't possibly be concerned about fairness for both accusers and the men accused. If she cares about the latter, she must be a misogynist and a rape apologist even if she also cares about the former. This perfectly mirrors the climate on American college campuses, where the only people who bother to speak out about sexual assault think that due process for men accused of sexual assault is "bullshit." Even mentioning the need for due process in this context sends the far left into a state of apoplexy. If you need more proof, just scroll through some of our posts from the past several years, at the Community of the Wrongly Accused.

They bemoan that our politics has become polarized, and they long for the day when a Republican would "reach across the aisle" and find common ground with Democrats. Yet they are happy to imply that donating to FIRE is an act of evil. It is difficult to imagine how serious and constructive dialogue is even possible with these people.
