Don't forget that she was a honored at Obama's State of The Union address.


Nungesser, who was not charged by the NYPD, filed a discrimination lawsuit against the university in April, arguing that he was the victim of “gender-based harassment and defamation” by allowing Sulkowicz to proceed with her project, called Mattress Performance (Carry That Weight).

Wow, if it is proven that she made all of that up, never mind any lawsuits from anyone, she should be in prison for a long time.

You need to research this issue a lot further back than this. Both the man and woman are wrong. Along with the university, which tried to deny that anything happened.

To the man's date of birth, for daring to be born, right Gabs?

This isn't a story i've followed, but reading the sexond link provided states this -


But, it was all a lie.
It never happened.
Evidence revealed she made it all up

When you then follow that hyperlinklink 'lie' to see the 'evidence revealed' you are instead lead to an opinion piece which does not state any factual lie, but rather concludes with 'in my opinion she probably wasn't brutally raped'

Linking to stories that link to other stories that transform opinions into facts leaves a muddy trail. Clarification welcomed.

I've been posting on this for over a year. I don't have a reputation for hating women. While the lack of due process is most evident on college campuses, it is a trend that may well spread. The federal government is largely behind the groundwork via Title IX that has made this so problematic:

In Campus Rape Tribunals, Some Men See Injustice

Colleges land in legal minefields as they balance rights of accuser and accused

DURHAM, N.C.—Last spring, Duke University expelled Lewis McLeod, a senior, for allegedly sexually assaulting a freshman woman in his room after meeting at a bar.

The woman had told Durham police Mr. McLeod had sex with her when she hadn’t wanted to. He said it was consensual. Police investigated but didn’t charge him.

A Duke University disciplinary panel didn’t find he gave her alcohol or used force. But the panel concluded it was “more likely than not” the woman didn’t agree to sex and was too intoxicated to consent. Regarding a degree, Duke lawyers later said: “Mr. McLeod is not entitled to that honor.”
Two weeks before he was to graduate, he became the first student Duke expelled for sexual misconduct under a new university policy.

...

Mr. McLeod’s suit is one of more than 30 that men have brought against U.S. campuses (http://www.wsj.com/articles/former-cornell-student-sues-school-alleging-he-was-falsely-accused-for-sexual-assault-1426799783)since January 2014 alleging due-process violations in sexual-assault cases, says A Voice for Male Students, an advocacy group.

The policy revisions hark to a 2011 federal directive that campuses crack down on sexual assault. In a “Dear Colleague” letter to every U.S. college, the Education Department told schools they risked federal investigation and financial penalties if they didn’t protect students from sexual harassment and violence under Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which requires gender equity.

The letter told schools to take action if a “preponderance of evidence” indicated sexual harassment or violence—a lower burden of proof than campuses often use for plagiarism.

Many campuses, like Duke, have interpreted “preponderance of evidence” as a likelihood of more than 50%. Many, including elite private schools like Duke, previously required “clear and convincing evidence” of wrongdoing in such assault claims—as many do with plagiarism cases—a burden-of-proof standard administrators say required a roughly 75% likelihood the accused was culpable.

The directive’s proponents point out that the “preponderance” standard is used in most civil courts. Schools must treat violence against women as a civil-rights injury, not a crime, says Alexandra Brodsky, co-founder of Know Your IX, a student advocacy group.

Schools must treat a woman the way they treat a minority student who is allegedly harmed, she says. In those cases, universities commonly hear evidence from all sides and make prompt disciplinary decisions. They don’t give one party the benefit of the doubt, as in criminal court, she says. “Preponderance of the evidence is used because it puts both parties on an even playing field.”

Yeah, I followed it all the way through too, and replied based off that too, hence me putting "if". I'm not sold either...

Guys ..... D.T.A. ... D.T.A. ... D.T.A. ... Don't Trust Anybody. Never forget that a date could turn into an arrest. Better still don't interact with a woman in any manner unless it's on your terms.
