the horrific cornell gang rape case has me thinking about emma sulkowicz who alleged she was raped as a student at columbia in 2014 and never got any justice. it has me thinking about the physical and mental weight young women are forced to carry while their safety is subsumed by male potential.

I think its important to understand the campus sexual assault crisis is way worse than you think. universities suspend just 1/12,400 students each year for sexual misconduct & expel 1/22,900. once you read title ix administrators in their own words, you get a sense why that is:

It's decorative gourd season, motherf*ckers. (Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Autumn, 1573, Musée du Louvre)

A work by Arcimboldo, who, being a complete and wonderful weirdo with the patronage of Holy Roman Emperors, spent his time painting absolutely nutso “portrait busts” of abstract concepts including seasons, archetypes, and elements. This one is Autumn made up of autumnal fruits, foliage, and, of course, gourds.

Apropos of nothing, the way Title IX violations are handled at many institutions is shocking to me. Want your rapist expelled? Well, let’s see what an econ grad student, a musicology, astronomy, and comp lit professor think. Don’t worry they clicked through a 30 minute training and read a PDF.
