:/ look outside your preconceptions.

If you seriously can’t imagine a person who holds a different opinion about a single issue from you without reducing them to “the enemy”, you need to consider how similar you are to the worst trump voters.

Please don’t make assumptions like that, I would not make them of you. First of all, I’m not white. Second of all, I’ve gone to bat for plenty of marginalized groups and individuals when I felt it was necessary. You’re misreading the situation.

There are a lot of assumptions here on your part. First of all, the article isn’t about a black person suffering. Secondly, I have no idea why you assume this is only because she’s white. If anything, that makes her situation more ridiculous and harder to empathize with. Thirdly, this is one of the few places on the…

Please don’t make that argument. :/ I try to have empathy for all people. Seeing the pain felt by one side does not mean ignoring it on the other.

Yeah, god forbid she makes personal choices you don’t agree with. Again, when she had power and legitimacy, your points may have merit, but you’re just kicking someone when they’re down. Have some human empathy. Yes, she’s being an idiot. No, it’s not really hurting anyone. Exposing her originally had merit. Now it’s…

I’m not talking about the comments, but rather, the articles, which I’d imagine are absolutely continuing to ruin her life.

That’s what I’m saying. She used to have a platform, now she doesn’t. It’s time to let this go.

Fair enough, I haven’t really been following the story closely.

:| she’s tone-deaf and misguided, but not malicious. She’s also not hurting anyone, singular or cultural with her movement of one. This is just mean spirited and shitty.

But they’ve been doing just that across the country. They just have to be around 50% sure and they’ll give you the boot, but do nothing to the ones that claim falsely. Even if thirty people accuse you of something but not a single one has any evidence, then it’s not proof enough

It’s called due process and no one is taking his word for it they are looking at the written exchanges between the pair which are in no way congruent with a rape taking place.

How can you be so sure that Sulkowicz is a victim of a crime? By making such a statement you are asserting that a rape did take place, not only in the absence of evidence but in the presence of evidence (facebook logs) that sex was consenting, which the university used to exonerate him. YOU are the one trying to smear…

I think we call it “innocent until proven guilty.”

I don't see a lot of people accepting the word of "the rapist" as fact, or should we say "alleged rapist." Emma's behavior is questionable. Victims might sometimes behave as she did, but that doesn't eliminate the questions. On the other hand, she would have to be truly disturbed to carry a mattress around campus if…

Are you kidding? To just assume an accuser is telling the truth (or lying) without looking into the matter is extremely irresponsible. The reality is that women are raped and women fabricate being raped. I'm not going to throw out some study claiming to the know the percent (like you could ever determine…
