Author Vows To End Rape Culture ‘Hysteria’ With New Book
Article here. Excerpt:
'Articles about “rape culture” are proliferating on the internet and in magazines, with the most notable example being the debunked Rolling Stone article “A Rape on Campus.”
But feminist and author Wendy McElroy argues in her new book, “Rape Culture Hysteria: Fixing the Damage Done to Men and Women,” that claims about rape culture are exaggerated and, in fact, hurt both men and women.
According to McElroy, rape culture has become “a very dominant issue—it’s really taking over campuses—largely because of the backing of the office of civil rights of the Department of Education and the ‘Dear Colleague’ letters they send out.”
The Department of Education will say that if colleges don’t want to lose their funding, they have to comply with their demands [about how sexual assault is addressed].” She also says that there is a “rape culture dogma on campuses” that is “starting to spill out into the mainstream.”'
