"Men need to step up, have a voice in sexual consent war"

Article here. Excerpt:

'Recently, the article “Consent a campus issue,” which ran in The Crimson White, has been receiving quite a bit of attention, mainly from people calling for the job of Jessica Vickery, the assistant director of health education and promotion at the Student Health Center.

Vickery’s “crime,” according to many comments online, was found in a quote stating that, “Some people think there are false accusations. There’s really no false accusations. If someone feels they didn’t give consent, then they didn’t give consent.”

Readers have attacked Vickery for her conservative take on consent and sex since this article ran, with users such as ZimbaZumba posting that, “Jessica Vickery should be removed from her position, her comments are appalling.”

Some, like user drunicusrex, even see males being victimized here, posting that, “This is truly frightening. I doubt I will ever send my son, or for that matter my daughter, to a school where such fantastic, outrageous, and blatantly anti-male beliefs are espoused.”

To these assertions, I say: Guys, get over yourselves.'

... if the author were to find himself at some point before he ends his time at college accused (falsely or not) of rape as defined in his campus' student conduct code?

An accusation would be sufficient. It would be all by itself incontrovertible proof of his guilt, assuming he was judged the way he advocates.

Wonder if he'll have the same opinion on this matter by the time he's a senior. Or, if he one day has a son.
