You'd think that if feminism was a science, questioning it would not just be acceptable but necessary.

And if it's not a science, it's a belief system with no more validity than religion.

Found the text of the article's image quoted here

From that text:

uch tactics are not surprising, says junior Ted Chapman, sitting in the courtyard outside the Student Union. He says tensions have been so high the last couple of years that he has virtually quit dating. Friend Dave Roscky nods in agreement. Nearby, sophomore Emily Lloyd says men are missing the point. “So many women get their lives totally ruined by being assaulted and not saying anything. So if one guy gets his life ruined, maybe it balances out.” The man next to her, a long-haired freshman in glasses, disagrees. ‘All I can think is what would I do if my name was up there on that sign?’ he says. ‘What would I do?’ Ms. Lloyd shoots back: ‘Do you know what you’d do if you were raped?’ There is a tense silence as the freshman studies the grass in front of him. Finally, he looks up. "Well, I know one thing," he says, "I wouldn’t put up a sign."

If I was raped by a woman, I am not sure that I would go to the police because my rapist could simply claim that I raped her. And she would have a much better chance of being believed because the fact that women rape men almost as much as men rape women is widely suppressed in favor of the myth the rape is mostly something men do to women.

And this would matter if Feminism were a real academic study.

But it's a cult and political ideology that has nothing to do with research or study. And screaming 'RAPE CULTURE!' is either far too fun or far too effective in their eyes to let a little thing like reality intervene.

Liars. Feminists are all liars.
