Student Wrongfully Expelled for Rape Triumphs in Court: Due Process Beats 'Yes Means Yes'
Submitted by Mastodon on Fri, 2015-08-14 04:28
Article here. Excerpt:
'A judge overturned the expulsion of Corey Mock—a University of Tennessee at Chattanooga student and star wrestler—after determining that UT’s administration had improperly required Mock to prove that he was innocent of sexually assaulting another student.
The decision is a significant blow to the concept of affirmative consent. According to Judge Carol McCoy, UT’s consent standard wrongfully shifted the burden of proof and violated Mock’s due process rights.
Mock’s expulsion stemmed from a sexual encounter with a fellow student, Molly Morris, during the spring of 2014. Morris and Mock had met online and quickly become friends; they hung out on several occasions and decided to attend a house party together. Morris had too much to drink—someone might have slipped her something, though no evidence established this—and went to the bathroom to be sick. Mock found her, took her to a bedroom, and they had sex.
A week after the incident, Morris told Mock that she had not given consent. Three months later, she formally accused him of raping her.'

"Justice"
YAY!!!!
Finally, maybe we can now, begin to see justice return to the "Justice system".
On the fence
I am always on the fence about things like this.
With regard to this specific case, I am grateful Mock prevailed. And the judge's decision (a female judge, no less) has opened the door to his lawsuit. Not to mention that the father now has one pending: he was fired as a wrestling coach due to his maintenance of a blog in support of his son. Great news.
As for this "yes means yes," I agree there are a lot of aspects I find toxic. But if we step back, there is a silver lining around this cloud (once we restore due process rights -- and that is happening).

I have always hated the movie "Animal House." I attended Columbia when it was an all male school and I did not experience this self-destructive culture. This culture was often sidelined into the realm of the wealthy students. Most men studied and worked. But that movie created a false culture of male irresponsibility.
While the "yes means yes," culture is pernicious (with regard to male vilification by feminists), there is a side aspect (with regard to how men are men in and of themselves): men are being taught (as a result of feminist hysteria) to focus and work and control themselves. This is good.
We realize that men are only 40% of the campus. Aside from gays and lesbians (I have no issue there), this makes about 2 women for every man.
Do the feminists even realize what they are doing?
In short time, men will stop pursuing and be pursued. Women will ask men out on dates (and pay for them) while those very same men are being taught to study and work (yes, I acknowledge that part of these "yes means yes" introductory lectures for first year students is toxic to men, but the outcome is men who shy away from the reckless pursuit of women.) It is a total reversal from the 1950's where there were few women: now there are few men.
And what is happening in the media? With the six pack abs and Magic Mike, men are not just being objectified: the male form is rising to prominence. And this may herald the return of men on the pedestal and a androcentric culture replacing a gynocentric one.
In the course of the recent three year rape hysteria since "the Dear Colleague Letter of Title IX" that started all this, never has a group (feminists) willingly thrown themselves (women) off the pedestal and put men on it so quickly. Women are now weak victims and men are actors on the pedestal being taught to focus, work and study.
Again, yes, there is a pernicious aspect to this, but once this plays out and due process rights are restored by the courts, men will focus, study, work, while women will watch "The David" on the pedestal as the image of beauty.
It will be fascinating to see how this plays out.
(And all of that, and the fact that many men are opting out of college and taking up well paying trades that exercise their minds and their bodies -- plumbing, electrician, rig workers -- while women are being pushed into jobs they really do not like and growing increasingly depressed. It is amazing to me the damage that contemporary feminism is waging on women.)
