[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]17:55, FYI Columbia's "mattress girl" and her tall tale have been debunked.  [/quote]I just googled and I don't see where it's been debunked.  If anything, it's a he said/she said.  [/quote]

She ruined the man's life even though discipline charges against him had been thrown out and she basically lied about being raped.

"Sulkowicz’s account of her rape strains credulity to the extreme. Sulkowicz accuses Nungesser of an extremely brutal assault that should have left her visibly injured (with bruises not only on her face but on her neck and arms, unlikely to be covered by clothing in August and early September in New York) and in need of medical attention. Yet no one saw anything amiss after this attack, and both Nungesser and Sulkowicz went on to chat and banter on Facebook as if nothing happened."

Even so, she got, gulp, *academic credit* for carrying the mattress around all of senior year as a "visual art" performance. PC and victimhood doesn't get more obtuse or softheaded than this.

Way back in my day, the 2000s, academic credit and bachelors degrees actually meant something. Now you can cash in on being a victim, and apparently the truth, decency and due process don't matter either.[/quote]This is the opinion of an editorial contributor.  You or I could write our opinions but that does not mean it's the gospel truth.  You may not like Sulkowicz's visual demonstration of carrying around a mattress but that does not mean it didn't happen.

Your opinion, the author of the essay, or my opinion doesn't matter.  Two people know what really happen.  We weren't there to definitively say Sulkowicz was not raped.  Any rape is a "brutal assault" whether it leaves marks or not.[/quote]
