idk, the premise that fratboys are rapists is sound.

there's probably a bunch of frat rapes on campus that will go unpunished because of this article

Actually yeah I think I read he was essentially trying to get Taibbi to follow various stupid Silicon Valley management techniques. Amazing it didn't collapse sooner now that I think about it.

They're doing such a good job that they've set up kangaroo courts across the nation under title 9 and are marking people as guilty even if they obviously aren't.

Bah, the story was fake but accurate.

I think it is problematic that the patriarchy has supported rape culture utilizing their white priviledge to enact this chilling suppression of feminism.

better for 10 frat boys to be wrongfully-accused than for 1 rapist to go unpunished, imho.

When in doubt just create your own extra-judicial system of determining guilt and then act surprised when people treat you the same as a lynch mob full of rednecks.

idk it seemed legit, not outlandish or weird or outrageous in terms of my level of surprise, and a lot of other people did too and that I think is telling. I read that article and I'm pretty sure that even if they made it up that exact story has happened to many people and a lot of colleges don't really give a poo poo which is ridiculous when you think about how much tuition money you have to pay them.

I feel like college is the one service that when you pay tens of thousands of dollars you still get treated like poo poo and considering the current economic climate I feel like they should be a little more user friendly in terms of the student experience but that's a different thread.

rapes have and will always be a problem until the end of humanity, but stuff like this article smacks of the devil worshiping hysteria of the 80s and 90s. its like a moral panic

I think it was somewhat outlandish that she got suplexed into a glass coffee table and was then raped on the pile of broken glass for five hours and just walked it off and didn't have to go to the hospital.

I am starting to think that if the rape victim chooses to go to campus authorities and not the real police, then that person is lying about being raped.
