Male Students Losing Everything On Mere Accusation
If you're a criminal -- and there's sufficient proof of that -- you should be punished...by the legal system, that is, so you can't just run around and reoffend.
But if it's just a story of "he said"/"she said," you may still be guilty, but lacking sufficient proof -- sufficient in our legal system -- it's wrong for you to be punished.
Yet this is precisely what's been happening on college campuses across America. There's yet another story of that -- this time from Purdue.
Fatima Hussein writes in the Indy Star:
A male student filed a lawsuit this week against Purdue University saying a sexual misconduct investigation unfairly resulted in his suspension from the university and dismissal from the Navy ROTC program.The unnamed student alleges that Purdue breached its contract, violated Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, discriminated against him on the basis of his sex and denied him his Fourteenth Amendment right to due process.
According to the 69-page complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Indiana Hammond Division, Purdue suspended the student based on allegations by an ex-girlfriend made three months after they stopped dating.
...During the time they dated, the female student alleges that during several nights when they slept together, the male student groped and fondled the woman while she was sleeping, without her consent. The complaint also states that he "chased her down a hallway" threatening to taser her. The two are named as John Doe and Jane Doe in the complaint.
While he was not formally charged with a crime, the male student was suspended from school for one full year and expelled from the school's ROTC program, according to the suit.
"This student's hopes and dreams to serve his country as a Naval officer have been destroyed as the result of false accusations by an ex-girlfriend and the Kafkaesque disciplinary process at Purdue University," said Andrew Miltenberg, the student's lawyer from New York law firm Nesenoff & Miltenberg. He is also represented by Philip Byler, from the same firm.
Miltenberg, who has represented more than 100 accused male students at colleges and universities, said "the male gender bias that exists at Purdue University and many college campuses across the country essentially assumes that accused male students are guilty until proven innocent."
"While he was not formally charged with a crime..."
Think of how sick this is. You are not a criminal in the eyes of the law (most likely meaning that there isn't sufficient evidence to try you for a crime), yet you have substantial punishments brought down on you -- of a life-ruining kind by a few people at a college.
This is terrible and needs to stop.
I hope a few of these students who've had this done to them sue the schools to the point where the schools start pushing back against doing this -- pushing back against the Department of Ed, the origins of the misuse of Title IX as a way to "get" men.
Yes, again, rapists should be punished. But if we don't have meaningful evidence, we need to err on the side of letting you go free -- and unpunished.
Maybe abstinence is not such a bad thing after all.
Study not party. Get out early and move away quickly.
Get married w/plans to divorce if it does not look like a good decision. Do it early before there's much property and no kids. Look for your "soul" mate later and elsewhere (there are some girls at college just to get a husband so ...).
Have a "girlfriend" back home and visit your parents often.
Lots of options if you are "smart" about it. Just don't date at schools.

Online education. Never set foot on a campus.

This dovetails nicely with the Cousin Dave/lenona thread from Wednesday.
"But the primary driver of purity culture in the West today is post-modern feminism. All of the things that the author of that Patheos article was taught about men are things that are taught today by feminists.

Some feminist parents may regularly teach girls, in so many words, that boys are nothing but horrible predators, maybe. I have yet to meet any such parents or their offspring.

The point goes to Cousin Dave.

IMNHE, a good chunk of the overly protective parents (specially the dads) who are filling their daughters' minds with misandric garbage have a history of being slutty scum back in their youth.
So they don't want someone to take advantage of their princess like daddy used to do when he was young.

Interesting, Sixclaws.

I think a high percentage of the snowflake SJW princesses were raised without a dad in the home, and have no real model for how men behave.
Same for the poor boys.

Nothing done by the "boy" in the article points to disrespect for a woman's rights.
Everything done by the "girl" in the article points to "hatred" for the boy. The college simply enabled her to express that hatred in the worst way possible (expulsion).
Parenting has nothing to do with the behavior by either. It is the college that is wrong in enabling "hatred".

I've got some news. Sleeping in the same bed gives permission to be groped. It presumes a level of intimacy that includes kissing and groping. It is insane to think it does not. For those in a relationship or marriage, "groping" is how you start a sexual encounter to get the fire started. duh

Well, Amy, you should be very thankful for Donald Trump, who nominated Betsy Devos, who will in turn likely rescind the Obama administration's notorious "Dear Colleague" letter from 2011 that started this feminist inquisition against male sexuality and normal sexual relations between men and women.
Really, should college women be painted as drunken, retarded sluts who must be protected from the consequences of their dim-witted debauchery with a required game of sexual 20 questions and a notarized affidavit? Obama thought so. Doesn't say much for his view of his own daughters, does it?

Guys can be accused by women they never met, much less dated.
