* I think most readers understand the truth notwithstanding the NYT’s efforts to muddy the waters. Here are the top ranked comments:
“Universities need to stop acting as the intermediary when there is rape with a college student. They should NOT be in charge of investigations and the student should be reporting the crime to the police at the time it happens so that acutal law enforcement can do an immediate investigation and not one done months later when evidence is hard to find. Why campuses even have the authority to manage such investigations is beyond my understanding.

False accusations destroy lives.
The woman should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

I am not quite clear why the university is changing the rules for fraternities based on a crime that did not happen. One would think if the rules were imposed based on the gang-rape of the student, that they would be withdrawn if the reason that they were instituted is no longer valid.
It seems that university administrators lose all perspective, acting frantically even before the evidence is in, but demonstrating no similar haste in rectifying their mistakes, if it turns out no crime was committed at all.

And what consequences does a woman face when she makes up false sexual assault allegations against a man or men, wrecking their lives?”
The problem that sites like the NYTimes have is that they no longer control the megaphone so that disturbingly un-Cathedral like views written by people who have not drunk the Kool-aid are being aired. They are under pressure from web gurus to be more interactive but my prediction is that they will kill off comments at some point or require the use of a real verified name or get rid of the “like” button. In the old days, before they would print a letter to the editor (they printed mine a couple of times) the would call you and verify that you wrote it.
* The fantasy world aspect of the internet is a big boost (enabler) to those who weave fantasies. 20 years ago Jackie’s fantasies would not have gotten further than the dormitory floor she lived on.
* Young women at the height of their powers can leave a trail of destruction. The likely trauma she caused all those young guys who were interrogated by the police. The wasted man hours.
Young men who leave a trail of destruction usually go to jail. The fertile young woman will be accommodated.
* Relative to males, the earning power and buying power of women is much higher than it was say 30 years ago. Just look at how advertisers cater to their whims and fantasies. Plus the range of businesses that cater to female desires is a much larger percentage of the US economy than 30 years ago. Who ever saw a nail salon 30 years ago? Guys paying taxes to the welfare system keep those Vietnamese run places afloat. Certain lines of automobiles slant their pitch towards women. My mother never bought a car. My father did this.
* One thing lefties sincerely hate and despise is the idea that they have been made fools of.
For a group that prides itself on being smarter than everyone else, the idea that they have been duped is infuriating to a degree that you tend to notice it. They aren’t mature enough to admit being fooled, and so double-down on ridiculousness, or forget it exists, or else vehemently set out to burn the witch who fooled them. It’s almost has if they have brain damage on that part of the brain that in normal folks tells them, “Lighten up, Francis, ya got conned. Just learn from it.”
And so the ritualistic burning-in-effigy of Stephen Glass and Jason Blair (less so the latter, because black) as master-manipulators, instead of, you know, a couple of dudes who found it triflingly easy to pull the wool over lefties’ eyes so long as you told them what they wanted to hear.
So this Haven Monahan fiasco has to go down the memory hole, so lefties don’t feel stupid, or else Erdley will be burned in effigy as well.
