I want everyone including judges to worry more about what happens to the girls after the rape than the boys (I never want to hear again about the “boys lives will be ruined”

Nobody seems to care about the girls life??

Are women so “disposable?”

Oh come on! Give the boys a break. Boys being boys. Locker room talk, Lockeroom behavior. The gals after all, are just property. Just Pussy, Just BAIT. What about the poor boys mental health? WHAT did we all expect with our society controlled by and in defense of misogynist leadership? Maybe the few REAL men could set a better example? Stand up REAL MEN, it’s past time to show yourselves. Did you all forget where you came from?

going to guess here.. 60% of women learn not to trust trust bybthe age of 30..done inch by inch of incidents , some only annoying ,some violent, some scary, most creepy - of “boys will be boys” over decades. that harms the degree of freedom a female mind can have..scars for life the ability to full immerse in that which exists outside the secure home. ie spend a day in an quiet part of a park, museum, open space and just absorb.. as she needs to then check her surroundings for ‘others’ ,accessing her escape route, ability to protect herself.. can she take her shoes off, take a nap.. get lost in quiet of a book..even on aplane, in an airport, waiting for an Uber.. taking an uber .. sitting alone in a theater, ♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️♾️

at a gathering over the course of an hour of chatting with various people shockingly when asking about summer’s activities or trips , or visits planned ..only 2 had plans everyone else and said I just really prefer staying home , we really love staying home, just don’t go anywhere , after a few hours out can’t wait to get home…..etc

there was no reasoning for this other than somehow we have been conditioned to understand on a cellular level that ( if lucky) home is the truely the only safe place we have.

Has it always been this way?

Are women so “disposable?” YES.

Oh come on. Give the boys a break. Think of their poor mental health! Just boys being boys. Locker room talk. Lockeroom behavior. The gals after all are just property. If anyone has brought our young men to this point it’s our country’s mysogonist leadership. WHAT are you REAL men going to do to set a better example? Women are sick of living as BAIT.

Dana, thank you for your righteous outrage! It's time for women everywhere to start exercising their superiority.

Let’s be clear. Campus police are kinda like mall cops. Which is why they should always forward their “investigations” to local police. 🤦‍♀️

Furthermore, campus “police” don’t have the necessary tools to complete rape investigations.

Their job is to protect the college, not the students.

Definitely destabilizing F! Do they think that MEN old enough to rape will learn from an essay? Why not some jail time while these toddlers write their little essays. “When a girl is drugged and incapacitated, I will not rape her”?’ Do you think they’ll learn more respect for another human being? What an absurd penalty! Those that voted for this should have to write, “I will have more respect to my human beings than to hand down meaningless punishment designed to humiliate the lady even more’. Disgusting!

Yes, I think we’d all like to read those essays.

Thank you Betsy DeVoss. AmWay is all schools way because of the first piggy45 attack on education.

I cried when I read this essay. Thank you so much for writing it. I’m beyond distraught over what happened at Cornell and I know it’s happening in a lot of colleges and universities.

There’s a male ‘loneliness crisis’ I wonder why? Do you think these men are among those who think feminism has Gone Too Far?

KMB's avatar

Cornell has an INDEPENDENT, off-campus newspaper that has continued to investigate this story from the beginning. TRUE JOURNALISM!!!

Look for the “ seven “ to appeal to the Supreme Court, they’ll have a good chance with Kavanaugh and Thomas on the court

Excellent article! Regarding Letitia James being assigned to the case, @Zuri Stevens wrote a great piece addressing this: https://substack.com/@zuristevens/note/p-218575379?utm_source=notes-share-action&r=5by43b
