[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Personally, I choose to believe that a woman is not fabricating something so traumatic as what is described in this article. I understand logically that a policy of taking such accusations seriously and trusting that the victim is reporting accurately may result in false allegations a very small percentage of the time. Given how many other people would prefer to believe that no nice college boys could possibly do something like this and that this woman must be a fame-seeking crazy, I strongly suspect that the rights of rapists are well protected by others. I choose to care more about the life of the victim and how it's already damaged than the remote possibility that the victim is lying. [/quote]

If you care about civil liberties, and not simply demonizing men, you'd be more than mildly troubled by the juxtaposition of references to "campus rapes," which imply criminal behavior that could be proven beyond a reasonable doubt, and student behavior codes, which as interpreted by the Obama Administration's Department of Education, require schools to discipline students when single-person investigators, who may or may not have investigative skills and training, determine that it was "more likely than not" that an assualt occurred.

But I'm guessing that this doesn't matter much to you, since you seem supremely confident that there are only false allegations "a very small percentage of time."  That's a conventional attitude, but God forbid it's ever your son who ends up in one of these kangaroo-court type proceedings.       [/quote]
