1 in 5 women get raped?

The net result will be a setback for the effort to make campuses safer.

Are you aware that hawkeye10 and BillRM have mocked actual rape victims who are members of this forum? Yet not a peep from you! This is the moral equivalent of saying that David Duke represents a legitimate point of view and, as such, should be included in a debate on affirmative action. If you defend lowlife, that makes you lowlife!

The result should be to question the feminists assertions that the campuses are not safe, especially considering that the crimes stats show that they are very safe.

In the case, of Erdely’s piece, however, there’s ample evidence of poisonous biases that landed Rolling Stone in what should be an existential crisis. It starts with this business about choosing just the “right” school for the story. What is that all about? In his first, important piece on this story, the Washington Post’s Paul Farhi described the author’s thought process:

So, for six weeks starting in June, Erdely interviewed students from across the country. She talked to people at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and her alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania. None of those schools felt quite right. But one did: the University of Virginia, a public school, Southern and genteel, brimming with what Erdely calls “super-smart kids” and steeped in the legacy of its founder, Thomas Jefferson.

A perfect place, in other words, to set a story about a gang rape.

Observe how Erdely responded to a question about the accused parties in Jackie’s alleged gang rape. In that Slate podcast, when asked who these people were, she responded, “I don’t want to say much about them as individuals but I’ll just say that this particular fraternity, Phi Kappa Psi — it’s really emblematic in a lot of ways of sort of like elitist fraternity culture. It’s considered to be a kind of top-tier fraternity at University of Virginia…It’s considered to be a really high-ranking fraternity, in part because they’re just so incredibly wealthy. Their alumni are very influential, you know, they’re on Wall Street, they’re in politics.”

The next time Erdely writes a big story, she’ll have to do a better job of camouflaging her proclivity to stereotype. Here, she refuses to evaluate the alleged gang rapists as individuals, instead opting to fold them into the caricature of the “elitist fraternity culture,” and all its delicious implications. Of course, one of the reasons she didn’t describe the accused is that she never reached out to them.

You are a complete shithead

OCCUM BILL was right! Hawkeye10 and BillRM should have been banned. Permanently. Their sick mentalities are repellent. Their sickness really has nothing to do with politics. It's of a far more serious nature. It's degeneracy. I dare call it evil.

All they are doing is suggesting that men should have rights too.

You are a complete shithead. One asshole prints a fake story, and presto, no woman has ever ever ever been raped.

To say that hawkeye and BillRM only want rights for men is about as ludicrous as saying that David Duke only wants rights for whites.

They have ridiculed and mocked members of this very forum who are actual rape victims.
