NO, see, women are just one big hivemind. So if one woman's account of a sexual assault seems off, then all of them are, and also that means she 100% lied, and so did every other one of them lying hos.

"These are not anomalies or bad apples: numerous studies have found that men who join fraternities are three times more likely to rape, that women in sororities are 74% more likely to experience rape than other college women, and that one in five women will be sexually assaulted in four years away at school."

Yes, the part where they demanded to know how the University would "restore" their reputations struck me as particularly rich. Restore your own horrible reputation, which by the way was already horrible before this awful Jackie situation was even a thing. You could start by not being an atavistic misogynist bunch of…
You can rest assured that, if they do, they will do so quietly and refuse to answer any questions about why!
Your last paragraph is spot on. As for your first paragraph, sorry, you're barking up the wrong tree if you expect me to feel any sympathy for them. So their activities got suspended when class wasn't in session. Who cares? Try to remember when it comes to the much larger issue of campus rape those "bros" you're…
I'm sure they could, but excuse me for not being terribly concerned for a bunch of frat boys as much as I am all the people who experience sexual assault on campus. One of those just doesn't hold as much weight for me as the other.
When the only penalty they ever faced, even before RS issued its statement, was being forbidden to throw parties for a very short period when school was not in session, I think saying they have a "great deal at stake" is ridiculous.
Well, at least the UVA administration's indifference to sexual assault and dedication to deflecting blame remains unwavering.
The more information that comes out on this, the more obvious it is that Rolling Stone should just replace their retraction with a gigantic "we failed on pretty much every level imaginable beyond writing a compelling piece." I understand that they're scrambling, but put the damage control on hold for a minute and…
Isn't it interesting how the changes that paint Jackie are an opportunistic liar are announced from the rooftops, but when changes go in the opposite direction, they're quietly made without anyone admitting to doing so, much less explaining why? It's almost like these "unbiased" reporters have a vested interest in…
That'll fix it! And what if that picture and information isn't Jackie?
As a former fraternity member (I feel like half of my Gawker comments these days start with that clause), I'm pretty confident in saying UVA's fraternities and sororities need to shut the fuck up, regardless of what happens with this story — which at the very least shows some of the warts of the system even if the…
So many idiots on here raging about how "frats need to be careful about who they let in to their parties" and "misplaced hysteria about rape" blah fucking blah. Maybe be careful about not letting rapists into your frat and shut up DAMN
"Greek leaders say they would like the university to apologize, publicly release records that explain the basis of its decision to suspend the Greek system and outline how it will restore the reputation of fraternities and students at the university."
Yea really. THIS JUST IN "Guy Accused of Rape Claims Not to Know Victim" news at fucking 11.
the most angering part of this is someone giving up Jackie's information. Because let's harass people! That'll fix it! And what if that picture and information isn't Jackie? Let's just go on a witch hunt for the girl who spreads alleged lies and slander against Greek life!
This is poor journalism on the part of RS. All of this has been so disrespectful to people who have been sexually assaulted.
Unreal and so poorly handled. Interesting that the guy (anon) who was accused might be lying himself. Could never have seen that coming...
