Story here. Excerpt:

'George Mason University expelled a student after his ex-girlfriend complained of their consensual BDSM relationship, the student claims in court.

John Doe sued the university and two of its student deans, on Feb. 18, in Federal Court.

Doe claims that his girlfriend, who did not attend George Mason, initiated the BDSM practices (bondage and discipline, dominance and submission, sadism and masochism).

He says they dated November 2012 until January 2014, and that she requested, and received, acts such as "choking, biting, slapping, spanking, whipping, and restraining her.

They used the safe word "red" to prevent injuries, but doe claims that she told him "that if she said 'stop' during sex, he was not to stop because that was part of the game. However, if she used the safe word, their agreement was that John Doe should stop the sexual activity."'

... consensual sexual activities are just that. Expelling someone just b/c of the type of activity, and then only one of the parties, is wrong. Even if it's not b/c they were unto BDSM, expelling one of them merely in complaint that he ended the rel'p goes to the heart of an even more egregious matter: a male student risks his reputation and future merely by engaging in consensual, sober sex w/ a female. He need not even actually do so, as a complaint seems sufficient in its face. This is why I continue to recommend that until sanity is restored in these matters, men go to men's colleges or forego college in favor of trade schools rather than risk the hazards of life on coed campuses.
