Moon Atari posted: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.

Why anyone would want universities to police themselves after Jerry Sandusky is out of their minds.

Professor Shark posted:Off topic, but learning about how loving hard Universities work to cover up rape was one of the most mind-blowing experiences of my life when I was 19-20. It hit me hard that the institutions that family and teachers had pushed on me could actually be corrupt, then I watched The Wire, and the rest is Goon History And this is the broad feminist position. It's insane. Which is why I said yeah, the only explanation is that the campus left is being co-opted by corrupt institutions.

^ Yeah it's $$$. Rapists being arrested and having their names in the newspapers is bad for the college's image. Parents might look elsewhere while gearing up to send their daughters off to college. My argument is actually a left-wing one, too. It says the broad consensus "SJW/left-wing" position on campus rape is actually protecting rapists and institutions from accountability. I've made that argument to people supportive of private/secret rape tribunals and they didn't know how to respond. They had never been challenged in that way before. Point being that if you're going to attack a left-wing argument, you should attack it further from the left. Or if it's a right-wing argument, attack it from the far right. It's like outflanking your opponent.
