But who are the adults in the room? Certainly not the #Cornell Administrators, who refused to take this violent, disgusting event seriously. Or maybe they thought banning the frat was all they had to do. But that’s not what we mean when we say the problems are systemic.

The same Administrators who went after students doing pro-Palestine organizing, maybe they were distracted, one would think those two offenses should have held clearly different priorities. newsletter.mattdragon.com/archive/we-k...

This is *the* piece. Kate Manne, professor of philosophy at Cornell, speaks truth to the totality of failures at the university — and why students protesting the war in Gaza have faced far harsher consequences than any of the Cornell 7: www.thecut.com/article/what...

What It Feels Like at Cornell Right Now
As a professor at the Ivy League school, Kate Manne has known many, many victims. There’s a palpable feeling on campus, she writes, that this is big.

"As things stand, students who commit infractions like plagiarism — which typically has no real victims — are often punished more harshly than the male students directly responsible for making the campus dangerous for female ones."

It is really telling that for some a drag queen reading a children's story at at family event is waaaaaaay too much influence, but a sycophantic chatbot privately encouraging suicide is fine.

Dealing with a slew of abusive emails to the Complainant Code Counselors email address. I get that people are mad, but what is gained by clogging the inbox for the group that HELPS complainants like Jane Doe? They are making it harder for students who need our help to get in touch with us.

She was doxxed by a Chi Phi alum who implored his followers to “help a Chi Phi.” Just in case anyone thought that organization was remotely redeemable.

One of the things to come from GamerGate was the gamification of torturing real, live women...hounding them out of their homes, making them look over their shoulders for years. It was treated as a joke, nbd, the work of a few bad apples--as all terrorism against women is--& that failure leads here.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Seeing people post about how unfair the “mob justice” against the Cornell rapists is doesn’t really move me when there is no justice for survivors. The system doesn’t work; it enacts further punishment on the victims. Society is even crueler. So spare me the “mob justice” rhetoric about the accused

If rapists actually faced consequences for their actions we wouldn’t have nearly as many rapists. In reality many rapists actually benefit from their actions

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

A man replied to this saying in earnest that women need to get organized and fight for our rights and men will follow. We did that. We do that. We mobilized the largest single day protest in global history on every continent and yet I have fewer rights than my mom did at my age.

Stop telling women what to do. Stop telling us to do all of the work. Stop acting like you know more about our struggle than we do. Stand up for your fellow human being without any reward because that’s what we’re supposed to do. Ffs.

Btw if you read this and immediately thought “well not all men”… pause for a second. The men I trust are the ones who read what I just wrote and choose to listen, to empathize, to ask questions to better understand. They know they are not the men I am angry about and they don’t need say so.

Cornell University treating Gaza protestors more harshly than gang rapists is a real statement of values. It’s almost like violent domination by the powerful is the core belief of leadership.

For me, the hardest thing about stories like the Cornell gang rape case isn’t reading the initial details—although that is hard. What’s even harder is when men online, especially the journalists and pundits, start trying to combat the feminist outrage by purposefully seeding doubt and victim-blaming

It happens every time. They bring up the extremely rare cases (usually they just bring up the Rolling Stone one) where allegations were fabricated to say we should doubt this victim. They try to poke holes in her story. They try to redefine and restrict the meaning of rape.

The shame and smear anyone who has an emotional reaction to the case and especially anyone who chooses to believe the victim based on her word. They consider believing survivors to be the ultimate sin because it actually threatens the status quo where only victims of rape and sexual violence lose

This is why the DA smearing the victim and claiming she changed her story is so awful. A lot of these guys are already using that as their reasoning for why we can’t believe her and get upset. And many of them are journalists so they’ll influence much wider public perception and her actual cases

THIS is an instrumental part of rape culture. This is the wider societal enabling of rape and smearing victims. This is what survivors often identify as the most traumatic part of the experience, and as a journalist who believes survivors I can say it’s one of the worst parts for me, too

I literally don’t know a single woman who hasn’t been raped, stalked, groped, harassed, or sexually violated in some way at some point in their life. If you choose to doubt and dox survivors, just know every woman in your life is disgusted by you.
