Clinton cares about the rights of only some young men

Article here. Excerpt:

'During the debate, while speaking about race relations and criminal justice reform, Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton discussed ensuring rights to young men. She wouldn't say "due process," but she was referring to those rights.
...
It's shocking that Clinton would discuss the "rights of young men," considering the language she uses to talk about campus sexual assault. When Clinton says we must "listen and believe" to accusers, she's saying we shouldn't consider whether the accusations might be false (well, except when the accusations are against her husband).

That's a dangerous policy that has lead to dozens of lawsuits against universities who have denied due process rights to male students accused of sexual assault.'

If the story here involves the redacted phrase from Clinton's website about how rape victims 'deserve to be believed,' I would point out that some Clinton handler wrote it, they posted it, it made its way into speeches and when the disastrous effects of victim-centered investigations on campus were demonstrated, it was removed. I wish Clinton would talk about her apparent evolution on the subject but at least she and her handlers understood enough to distance themselves from it. It's something.
