1 in 5 women get raped?

But here is the thing, we dont get told why the 45% of cases did not get referred for action...

And this is what we see over and over again, unfounded assumptions built into the study the skews the results the way the researchers want them skewed. And this is a tactic that we see the feminists employing over and over again, claiming to know something that they in fact do not know.

This 6% that got proven to be fabrications is almost certainly just the tip of the iceberg.

Because strictly she said/he said cases, particularly if she had been drinking, don't get referred for action unless the prosecutor thinks he can win at trial--even when the prosecutor is convinced she is telling the truth. This in no way reflects on the credibility of the complainant, or suggests she might be making a false allegation-

There is absolutely no factual basis for that statement

that school is under federal investigation for its handing of sexual assault cases quite apart from anything in the RS article

Hawkeye I still do not understand the concept of universities "handling" sexual assault charges/cases

Right now the Feminists are jumping for joy....MORE VICTIMS FOR US TO MINISTER TOO, MORE MEN POUNDED ON, OH, HAPPY DAYS!

A system that is as fundamentally unfair as the one dictated by the DOE -- and increasingly followed by public and private colleges and universities under the threat of losing their funding -- indicates that these proceedings are not meant to, nor are they capable of, determining whether allegations of sexual misconduct are true, or imposing appropriate sanctions to those students who have actually committed sexual assault. Rather, just as in the case of the system it replaced, it is designed to protect the school from risk. The recent policy changes have amplified an environment in which once a student is accused of sexual assault a finding of guilt is nearly guaranteed.

We as feminists are failing if we make our victories dependent on eschewing the fundamental rights and principles our legal system was founded on -- fairness, due process, a presumption of innocence -- in order to obtain findings of guilt in sexual assault cases without regard to the facts of individual cases. A system that is as unfair to accused students as the one currently employed by U.S. colleges and universities lacks legitimacy, and the more people learn about the fundamental unfairness of these systems the more skeptical they will become of accounts of campus sexual assault and any resulting actions by the schools. While the federal government and universities' new approach to sexual assault cases may feel like much-deserved justice for the years of turning a blind eye to sexual assaults of university students, celebrating this trend is shortsighted. If we hang winning or losing this battle on simply increasing the number of students expelled for sexual assault, then we've already lost. As feminists, we should demand better than knee-jerk reactions from the government intended to appease anti-sexual assault activists without truly addressing their demands, and poorly designed university policies intended merely to protect the school's federal funding at the expense of our core democratic values of fairness, due process, and the presumption of innocence. We should be advocating systems that both address the actual needs and rights of sexual assault victims and respect due process and fairness for the accused. The current Title IX system does neither.

Already feminism is poorly regarded by women, they just moved up the timeline for their demise through over-reach and willingness to be abusive.

Perhaps but they have the media on their side who are helping them in selling the picture of a rape culture

Have you taken note of how poorly regarded the "journalists" are these days, or of what an atrocious job they do at their craft? Yes it is a problem, but not the problem you think because they have already squandered their credibility.

2 Men Charged With Raping 16-Year-Old Girl At Johns Hopkins Frat

Baltimore police said Wednesday that two men have been arrested for the alleged rape of an underaged teenager at a Johns Hopkins University fraternity party in November.

Chaz Haggins, 20, and Ethan Turner, 19, are charged with the rape of a 16-year-old girl at a fraternity party on Nov. 2, according to police. Both men are accused of rape in the first and second degree, and conspiring to commit rape, in addition to other sexual misconduct charges.

The victim reported that during a party at Sigma Alpha Epsilon, the two males raped and sexually assaulted her while she was in the bathroom.

The minor called police after the alleged attack and went to the hospital where she was tested with a blood alcohol level of 0.11. She later identified Haggins and Turner as the suspects, police said.

Police announced the arrests on Dec. 3, and said both men are being held at the Baltimore City Detention Center without bail. Neither is a JHU student.

The university said in a statement that it's pledging its full cooperation with police, and has initiated its own investigation of the fraternity based on reports of underage drinking and other possible violations of university policy. SAE is currently on interim suspension. The chapter did not return request for comment.

"We also have been working with the leadership of all Johns Hopkins fraternities to implement their interim plan for enhancing the safety and well-being of attendees at their social events," said JHU spokesman Dennis O'Shea in a statement. "Our Intrafraternity Council has done good work in responding to this issue."

Following the alleged rape at SAE, fraternities agreed to make parties invitation-only.

JHU is one of 88 colleges and universities under federal investigation for potential Title IX failures related to sexual violence. The university came under scrutiny after it was first revealed by The Huffington Post that it knew about an alleged gang rape at another fraternity, Pi Kappa Alpha, but did not inform students, even as the house continued to hold parties. The university has since pledged to improve how it responds to acts of sexual violence on campus and among students.

The elites as a class have been discredited, not only the journalists. I dont think we will need to suffer their abuse lies and incompetence much longer, Americans have had just about enough. If you have been paying attention you have noticed that the American people have been over the last years becoming increasingly pissed off, increasingly towards the government that has failed us, at the elites who never tire of telling us what to do, and at the wealthy who exploit us. It is too late to avoid an eruption.

Time for Firefly to work feverishly to divert discussion back to individual victims

For survivors of sexual assault in particular, Campbell said the chronological order of events, and specific details are often unclear in their memories.

"When a victim's recounting a story of sexual assault, we would at a minimum expect some jumping back and forth," she said. "It's not a simple process to describe, but disordered presentation, fuzziness of some details, and some things — particularly very specific, what we call 'context cues,' could be inaccurate. Specific time, specific dates, specific physical scene details — those would all be very vulnerable to not getting encoded correctly in memory, particularly if alcohol and drugs were on board in the victim's system.
