Rape Culture Does Not Exist

Back in 2011, the federal government sent a letter to every university that receives federal aid in some way (which is all of them) stating:
If you want to continue receiving federal aid, you must adjudicate every accusation of sexual assault on your campus. 
Basically means they have to have a tribunal of staff/faculty adjudicating every case. Because there are no witnesses in these cases (9 times out of 10) its the female's words against the male's. They determine responsibility by looking at the sexual history of each party. So we have English professors asking 19 and 20 yr olds about their sexual history, and usually it's only that. There's no physical evidence and no witnesses and that is how they determine their responsibility.

That's justice?

And since all these campuses are forced to acknowledge every single one of these casses, the bullshit and bogus ones are the ones that get the attention. It gave rise to this "1 in 5" number that simply is not real. 1 in 5 is not "rape", it is 1 in 5 women get "sexually assaulted". What they don't ask in their survey or rather don't specify is "assault". Most of the time, it's women being kissed when they didn't want it. That isn't assault. 

These "Rape Culture" activists are built on a foundation of false and dubious statistics with a largely distorted view of masculinity. It has already led to policies that have proved devastating to those falsely accused of rape.



"The Bureau of Justice Statistics' "Violent Victimization of College Students" report tells a different and more plausible story about campus culture. During the years surveyed, 1995-2002, the DOJ found that there were six rapes or sexual assaults per thousand per year. Across the nation's four million female college students, that comes to about one victim in forty students. Other DOJ statistics show that the overall rape rate is in sharp decline: since 1995, the estimated rate of female rape or sexual assault victimizations has decreased by about 60 percent."

Let the numbers speak for themselves.
