She thinks there is no such thing as an innocent man being falsely accused:
She’s suggesting that the criminal justice system isn’t easy enough for accusers. Police and juries won’t throw someone in jail based on nothing but an accusation. Therefore, a kinder, gentler justice system needs to exist to do just that. It is that kind of thinking that has prompted more than 70 male students to sue their universities after being expelled and treated like criminals without evidence — and sometimes with evidence that points to a false accusation.
Ashe Schow is doing yeowoman’s work in continuing to spotlight these Kafkaesque anti-male fascists.
This explains a lot more about something of which I wasn’t previously aware.
A local political blog recently excoriated Joni Ernst for voting against the Gillibrand amendment to take military sexual assault cases out of the chain of command. The insinuation, of course, was that Ernst caved in to the same CoC pressures to which victims of sexual assault succumb, and that she voted against her conscience and for the patriarchal construct of the military. Never mind that Ernst is a commanding officer herself, or that Gillibrand’s notion of “52 new cases every day” of sexual assault in the military seems to stretch the believability scale.
Now that I understand that Gillibrand is on a quest to eviscerate the rights of the accused throughout colleges (or, more likely all levels of school and non-school), her amendment to the defense authorization bill has a lot more context.
The system proposed is so parsimonious. We have one system for convicting people we don’t like and one system for acquitting people we like.
When I was in college The Crucible was taken as a warning, not a procedural manual.
Wait, wait. 52 rape cases a day? Please. That’s clearly impossible. All the feminists told us that the girls are so physically equal to men that they can serve in the combat arms. The idea that a modern, 21st Century woman could be sexually assaulted against her will is clearly, sir, clearly ridiculous.
Telling lies with big numbers is a time-proven tactic, especially when you factor in the general innumeracy of the press. An average 52 sexual assault complaints a day would total 18,980 per year. That number, while not impossible in an organization the size of the US military, seems rather improbable.
I remember seeing a press article years ago about how 50,000 American women were starving themselves to death due to eating disorders. Of course, men were the reason why they were doing this, don’t you know. Anyway, it turns out that the actual number of women dying from eating disorders was about 80. Not 80,000. Eighty. If you’re going to lie, lie with big numbers.
