Campus tales: Manspreading, rape, and Title IX idiocy

Article here. Excerpt:

'The politics of sex and race often sound like dispatches from the lunatic fringe. Two stories, one about man-spreading, and one involving Title IX, emphasize that impression.

The Title IX story comes from Northwestern University in Chicago. Professor Laura Kipnis wrote an article for the Chronicle of Higher Education in February in which she described sexual paranoia on campus. She used as an example a case involving a philosophy professor at Northwestern who was accused by an undergraduate of “unwelcome and inappropriate sexual advances.”

Kipnis named no names, but the young woman involved and a graduate student who had also filed a charge against the professor decided that Kipnis had made the campus an unwelcoming, even hostile place. They sued.'
