Richard,
A tale told by an idiot signifying nothing:
We take a legal concept as old as the hills that of the crime of rape and pass it through the wonderland of modern Gender Studies. Suddenly, a word attached to a very serious felony becomes equivalent to a snarky remark made about a partner from a failed relationship. Yet, we aren’t done. The bitter partner from the failed relationship must be of low enough caliber to make the snarky remark. What if most women have more self-respect than to participate in such gratuitous reputation bashing? Simple, you rely on a sexually schizophrenic acquaintance of the women to make an accusation right out of Chairman Mao’s Red Guard playbook. As paranoia needs no facts the testimony of the women supposedly raped is of no interest. Next, you manufacture a trial procedure using Kafka’s short stories as a model.
Wrap this all up in a greedy mindless totalitarian University that only is interested in getting more Federal Funding and the Modern American Witch Hunt is now on. Whoops sorry, the Modern American Warlock Hunt is now on.
…and tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow..
Regards,
Jim
