Men's Rights/4chan raid on a college's sexual assault reporting page gets mixed results in /r/mensrights. "Before you guys get your underwear in a bunch, it may help to actually read the fucking document." Popcorn throughout. (np.reddit.com)

Just being accused of rape can have serious consequences such as expulsion. Why would anyone want to lower the burden of proof on accusers and make it as simple as filling out a form online? I can only hope that these reports lead to the people who organized this having to defend themselves against rape accusations. Then they will see how fair the system is and how just an anonymous accusation is enough to he labelled a rapist for the rest of your life.
Maybe, just maybe turning your activism towards changing laws and opinions is a better idea than silencing victims.
Activism? So something like using a protest to point out unjust kangaroo court systems?
Being called into an administrator's office is a "court system."
Right...
There is some historical perspective here with Occidental College.
>When Carly Mee, now 22, finally decided in her junior year to report a sexual assault she says happened when she was a freshman, she says she was told that she was mistaken in thinking her assailant capable of rape. "When I spoke to an administrator," she says, refusing to name the female official, "I said, 'I've been feeling really unsafe and worried that he will attack me again,' and she told me that she met with him and didn't feel like that was something he would do, so I didn't have to worry." Mee's alleged assailant, incredibly, was the same male student who attacked Capranica. He was found by Occidental, in secret proceedings, to have been responsible for attacking Mee. The unidentified male, whom Mee refuses to publicly name out of fear, was suspended but not expelled. "When I met with an administrator to ask why" he wasn't expelled, Mee says, "they said it was 'extraordinary circumstances,' and that it was a 'messy case.' "
Oh jeez, one accusation that didn't result in a conviction? We better reduce the burden of proof so this never happens again.
Occidental acknowledged that it had failed to include 24 reports during that period, bringing the total to 36 (USC had 12).

An administrator failed to report some rape cases, so let's punish students by anonymously accusing them of rape. Checks out.
SRD is full of radfems. No point arguing anything here.
/u/FuturePigeon didn't say anything that wasn't factual in his/her comments. Meanwhile, I'm still waiting on /u/failearlyfail_soft to substantiate
>Just being accused of rape can have serious consequences such as expulsion.
As in just accused, not accused and with evidence.
Oh look, a rape apologist thinks people who think rape is a bad thing are rad fems. How cute.
> rape apologist
Well that came out of nowhere.
But thanks for giving a good example of what I'm talking about.
Were you really surprised that was the response?
I suppose I shouldn't be.
I wonder how many reports they are going to fail to include this time around?
