Once co-eds start using pepper spray to protect themselves, expect DHS to make colleges treat pepper spray incidents as acts of domestic terrorism

Every time Republicans open their yaps and talk about how they believe rape should be viewed or handled a demon get its horns.

One glaring character flaw of the GOP is a lack of empathy until they personally experience something. They cannot put themselves in another person’s shoes and have any compassion or understanding until it personally hits home in their lifetime.

WTF is wrong with you? Raping a daughter to punish the father? Do you also support honor killings?
“As a result, many complainants are discouraged from reporting rapes to the local law enforcement.”
HUH?
Even then it doesn’t seem to “stick” very often.
nah, he was a roofie specialist in the good old days.
I took a women’s studies history class where the professor brought in some advertising material from. I think it was Smith & Wesson selling a 25 pistol. Just the perfect size for handbag or stocking top.

They are discouraged from reporting rape to the police because colleges use a far lower standard of evidence than law enforcement does. His argument is that reporting rape to the college can only result in the accused being kicked out of school. Police can actually put rapists in jail.
You can imagine this guy as a frat rat in college, thinking that it is his right to sleep with any woman who is too incapacitated to say no.
If they do this, I hope that any university that changes its policies sees a dramatic decrease in young women applying to attend.

Meadows sounds like a disciple of Todd Akin.
Perhaps he should propose legislation called the “Legitimate Collegiate Rape” Act.
Oh sure, let the boys be boys. Who care about girls?

Trump, making colleges everywhere, safe for rapists.
I guess he learned from trump u.
Everywhere Trump is, there is a rapist.
He didn’t learn anything from anywhere except his own proclitivities - he is a serial sexual assaulter.
Yeah but, think of the poor “often-innocent accused.”
Gah! This just drips misogyny.

The comments here, as per usual, evidence ignorance, and the fact that none of the Usual Liberals who hang out here follow the actual issue.
The Obama perversion of Title IX has stretched the document to a point where is has no meaning. The prosecution of sexual assaults should be done by professionals, like the DA. Instead, what the Obama admin did was LOWER the standard of proof from “beyond a reasonable doubt” to “preponderance of the evidence”. This has had a huge impact on the accused, who are in our system of law innocent until PROVEN guilty.
The case of the Yale Basketball player is typical of the harridans in Title IX and their actions. In this case, the guy was accused of sexual assault a full year after the act occurred. The woman in question (her name has never been released, although his has and he lost his opportunity to finish at Yale) did not want the prosecution to go forward. The guy was convicted by a majority vote of English professors, professors of speech pathology, and others who have been highly trained (NOT) in sex assault investigations. The guy has sued, and I expect and hope that Yale will be heavily fined, and forced to allow this guy to finish his college career.
The point of reducing the standard of evidence is that much shakier and less certain cases result in conviction. And, YES, there are many false accusations.
I hope that the Trump administration ends the nonsense with transgender bathrooms (a misreading of Title IX) and this nonsense with prosecution of sex cases. There are plenty of actual sex assaults out there, like the gang rape at MN which resulted in the football team revolt. There are also PLENTY of marginal cases, which are he-said-she-said, and the evidence standard should not be changed to favor one side or the other.
