Well, being accused of rape could destroy a persons life, but who cares right? Probably is good enough.

See you made a point without generalising all of the female population, why is it so hard for some people to do the same when talking about men instead of creating a joke out of a very valid complaint that is quite common on Jezebel articles do to the fact that quite a lot of the writers accidentally or on purpose…

Saying not all men implies that some men do those things, so the very idea that saying not all men downplays the experiences of a woman is stupid, becouse there is no way she could have any experience with all men, so it can't downplay her experience in any way.

Later that night she went home and uploaded 14 bikini butt selfies.

I'm amazed at how many commenteres here think vigilante justice is an appropriate response.

Due Process of Law: It's No Longer A Thing!

Nowhere does it say he was convicted of any crime: "On May 7, allegations that a member of our staff had violated Columbia University's Gender Based Misconduct policy were brought to our attention by an anonymous tip."

why is it that these posts never quote anyone by name? Erin Gloria Ryan also wrote that post about American university's secret frat that had nothing but anonymous sources saying slanderous things about the subjects of the post. Jezebel is making it an ugly habit to just quote blind sources and expecting us to take…

Am I the only one completely unsettled by a ruling from an internal (and non-judicial) hearing being used as the conclusive determination that someone indeed committed the heinous crime of rape? Rape is bad. But crimes are punished in courts of law and whatever Columbia is doing doesn't meet that requirement. As such…

Bingo. We have a winner. Mob justice usually never works as well as the slower, more traditional and usually much more frustrating kind. Not really, not in the long run.

I would be interested to know whether Jezebel is in a position to report on whether the allegations are true, and if not, why not? This is not criticism, but genuine curiosity and lack of knowledge about journalistic ethics.

How long before this list goes from legitimate shit bag rapists to people other people don't like and decide to falsely shame them?

No where does this say the staffer was charged with any crime. This is complete bull honestly. Anyone (man or woman, but be real, no one would take a guy with rape allegations seriously) with a chip on their shoulder can ruin anyone else's career, relationship, or life by pulling this shit.

I do not understand the decision to refuse to address whether the accusation is factual.

I agree with you. I think the coverage of this on Jezebel has pretty much destroyed any idea that this site isn't sexist in its coverage.

There's a lot of crap on Elite Daily, but sometimes they get it so, so right:

I disagree pretty strongly here. Rape is a seriously underreported and underprosecuted crime, but if we take restroom scribblings as criminal evidence, it would be incredibly, incredibly easy for someone to abuse the system or implicate innocent people out of a desire for revenge.

Bullshit. That's just BULLSHIT. The idea that you or anyone would advocate the arrest of anyone based on an anonymous list is some fascist dystopian nonsense and you should be ashamed of yourself for even suggesting such a thing.

The "he had to do/say something to warrant the attack" comments have GOT TO GO! Because reverse the roles and this muthafucker would light up like a Christmas tree with comments attacking that notion (and rightfully so.).

The reaction to this has been so odd. We have video of Solange punching, kicking and spitting on Jay Z, he literally does nothing back and the immediate reaction is : "He must be cheating on Beyonce".
