Let’s take a moment, in light of the Cornell “rape case” hysteria, to savor the dilemmas facing the activists and academics who promote the idea of “rape culture.” If there is indeed a “culture of rape” at elite institutions, as Alexandra Ocasio-Cortez recently reaffirmed, why do female students flock into them? Cornell’s student body went from a little under 50 percent female in 2005 to nearly 54 percent female in 2025. The hoary (no pun intended) statistic bandied about relentlessly during the height of 2010’s campus rape frenzy—that one in four female undergraduates would be sexually assaulted during her college years—signifies a level of criminal sexual violence unheard of even during African tribal wars.

Yet instead of demanding a massive expansion of single-sex schools where they could study safely, females keep trooping in to co-ed colleges and, even more inexplicably in light of the received feminist wisdom, into the frat parties that are allegedly hot beds of rape. Either females are too stupid to take the most basic of precautions or there is no rape crisis and they know it. The same goes for their status-hungry mothers: why are they sending their daughters into such a maelstrom of violence? Answer: that violence does not exist.

Likewise, Cornell either has to defend its integrity and assert that it properly investigated and responded to Jane Doe’s “rape” charge in 2024, or it has to capitulate to its feminist student body and professoriate and admit to trivializing rape and to insufficiently believing survivors. Cornell’s September 30 press release tries to have it both ways—implicitly exculpating itself while promising to do even more to “support survivors” and to foster a “culture of safety.”

Doe’s original complaint to the police, filed days after the bacchanal, gave no hint that she had been coerced into group sex and drug use. Instead it described a set of voluntary if sordid transactions. Justice was done the first time around, but any university is fatally compromised in being able to state such a truth, thanks to its own promotion of victim fiction.

@mtracey Also reviving something years old as if there was new information. Great mentor-mentee potential there.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@billybinion I couldn’t care less. It doesn’t bother me whatsoever it’s an ad. My problem is you making a stupid mathematically illiterate point and you think you’re dunking on snowflakes.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@David_J_Bier Yeah everything is great dopey. A real winning message. Let’s increase immigration, the Koch’s will be so happy!

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@MattWalshBlog Eastbound and down accomplished that. A tad low on here.

@DLoesch @dwdnan @sunnyright Isn’t there a difference between mandating American made (I go out of my way to buy American too) and what jd is suggesting preventing companies from offshoring and/or hiring foreigners?

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch I apologize. You were responding to some dope who said we’re living in pure free market capitalism. My bad. Although I still have a problem with you buggin over jds tweet.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch I assumed that’s who you were referring to when you’re disparaging your trolls. Maybe I didn’t read the trolling comments and I’m wrong 🤷‍♂️

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch I don’t understand your beef with this. Believing/supporting this makes me a knuckle dragger? I never and will never vote dem but I’m a knuckle dragger?

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch Karl Rove too by the way. I’m a fan of you, I’ve been a fan for a while but if I say you're going too far to the levin wing I’ll get called antisemitic the same way we got called racist for calling Obama. It’s an issue. Gov can restrict immigration and still be free market

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch Come on. So if big business/chamber of commerce want to hire cheap foreign labor that’s just “the market” and if you disagree you’re a knuckle dragger??? Sounds like Karl rove

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@DLoesch Why not do both? They shouldn’t be mutually exclusive.

[James Fishback @j_fishback]

Housing shortage? Mass deportations.

No good-paying entry-level jobs? Mass deportations.

Healthcare system overrun? Mass deportations.

Public schools overcrowded? Mass deportations.

Local Budgets strained? Mass deportations.

Make America Great Again? Mass deportations.

There are five fat neocons I love to enrage, and John Podhoretz is four of them.

@JessicaTarlov This might be a more positive story than not. No one likes getting filmed.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@JohnDalyBooks As much as I would love to cut spending in every government sector and lower taxes accordingly thus shrinking government (I would) it’s just not a remotely electable position. If it was Paul Ryan would be a two term president.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@JohnDalyBooks There’s literally only one politician anywhere close to that description. Thomas Massie. We went along for the ride through Bush, McCain, and Romney. Had differences but went along. Now trump and maga offends you peoples sensibilities and enjoy your make moral superiority.

[Rusty Shackleford @Shackleford412]

@JohnDalyBooks Who are the “actual conservatives?” Ana Navarro, Tim miller, Nicole Wallace, Lincoln project? Yeah I know it’s you, Bernie, George will, and Erik Erickson. That tiny cabal are the only true conservatives. Or you people are just self righteous and delusional.
