I've always wondered if positions like equity officer at universities actually have any job responsibilities, or if it's more like a way to give someone a scholarship without making it look like a handout, and because not having that position available would open the university to accusations of discrimination.

Being in young radical progressive social circles would suck so bad. Imagine all the drama, bitchiness and petty spite of regular college kids, then add on an even greater concentration of overbearing personalities, byzantine and ever changing social norms, legitimised tantrums, a tendency to connect every interaction and minor annoyance to larger social political issues, and have rape sub in for witchcraft/reds as the focus of moral panic. Even if your racial/gender/sexual identity grants you moral authority status you can still be taken out by the most insubstantial of accusations, and your own beliefs and the social pressures you have endorsed prevent you from not agreeing and taking responsibility even if you aren't so indoctrinated as to actually think you did wrong.

She seems to be under the impression that you can do whatever you want and as long as you always follow with the robotic magic phrase, everything is OK.
By her own definition, shouldn't she be in jail? I guess it's only a problem when a man is the aggressor.

I'm pretty sure she did end up being criticised for 'apologism'. I don't think apologism is meant to refer to the literally apologising for your actions, but thats how they used it.
