In the lame stream media outlit Washington Post George Will has taken so called rape victims to the task for luring men into raping them.
As we have said many time before here; there is no such thing as rape, only unplanned sexual encounters. These women need to repent publicly for behaving like harlots and aggressively forcing their bodies on men until men lose control of themselves.
“They are learning that when they say campus victimizations are ubiquitous ('micro-aggressions,' often not discernible to the untutored eye, are everywhere), and that when they make victimhood a coveted status that confers privileges, victims proliferate.
Combine this with capacious definitions of sexual assault that can include not only forcible sexual penetration but also nonconsensual touching. Then add the doctrine that the consent of a female who has been drinking might not protect a male from being found guilty of rape, Then comes costly litigation against institutions that have denied due process to males they accuse of what society considers serious felonies.
Meanwhile, the newest campus idea for preventing victimizations — an idea certain to multiply claims of them — is 'trigger warnings.' They would be placed on assigned readings or announced before lectures. Otherwise, traumas could be triggered in students whose tender sensibilities would be lacerated by unexpected encounters with racism, sexism, violence (dammit, Hamlet, put down that sword!) or any other facet of reality that might violate a student’s entitlement to serenity, This entitlement has already bred campus speech codes that punish unpopular speech."
