University wants due process for itself, but not its male students

Article here. Excerpt:

'The University of Virginia and Virginia Democrats lobbied the Education Department to provide the school due process, something not afforded to its own students.

Specifically, the university wanted due process and fair treatment from the Education Department as it investigated the school for violations of the anti-gender discrimination law known as Title IX. But when the school conducts Title IX investigations of students accused of sexual assault, such due process is nowhere to be found.

It's a clear case of "due process for me, but not for thee."'

It's interesting how a lot of people want rights for themselves but not necessarily for others.

If a woman were accused of rape, she'd be demanding her due process rights. But when it comes to men, not so much. (To be clear, some women would do this--not all.)

And if failure to gain consent is the definition of rape, a lot of women are rapists--because women rarely bother to get consent. They don't even see it as an issue for them; the man's consent is assumed, not asked for. But if the man doesn't get her consent--that's a horse of a different color.
