This Stanford Alum Says She Was Raped 8 Years Ago, Demands a Title IX Investigation

Imagine, for example, if there was evidence that needed to be collected or people that needed to be spoken to promptly in an investigation like this...Time is an issue, and I feel like they were just very much dragging their feet.

It is this kind of behavior that has shifted the paradigm of sexual assault from one of reflexive sympathy for the victim to one of wariness and suspicion of any charge not backed up with incontrovertible evidence. It is partly a result of the current wave of feminism that demands total obeisance to Woman as the superior sex, and then at the same time demands assistance and accommodation and recognition that Woman is vulnerable and weak and incapable of anything without societal assistance.

That's just nuts, and I reject it.

Bombing Syria over President Bashar al-Assad’s use of chemical weapons in Douma last week—as President Donald Trump promises to do—is almost an absurdity. Nearly half a million people on all sides have been killed in Syria since the civil war erupted in 2011, barely 100 of them by the regime’s most recent sarin attack. Assad can mass murder civilians by the hundreds of thousands with exploding barrel bombs packed with shrapnel, but he can’t gas 0.01 percent as many with a nerve agent? It barely even makes any sense and seems driven more by an emotional reaction to ghastly reports on television than anything else. And yet it makes sense. The use of any and all weapons of mass destruction anywhere in the world must remain taboo, and it can’t remain taboo if it isn’t punished.
