Cornell 7 drama proves the campus-rape panic is a farce and college women know it

“Believe survivors,” the campus activists and leftist politicians admonish us. But which “survivor” statements are we supposed to believe?In the weeks following her alleged gang rape at a Cornell University frat house in 2024, “Jane Doe” was unequivocal: She had not been raped. A day after the incident, she texted one of her sex partners, saying “non (sic) of the sexual stuff was illegal and honestly I really liked being with u” — and she suggested another get-together. The next day she texted him again, including an affectionate note: “I luv you king.”She angled herself an invitation to the annual Halloween party at the frat where she was allegedly raped. Up to that point, Doe’s statements and her behavior had been consistent: She considered herself a voluntary participant in group sex, after she’d deliberately downed 10 shots of alcohol.After the alleged assault she solicited further contact with her rapists, considered them her friends and sought to revisit the crime scene for more partying. For an actual rape victim, such behavior is inconceivable.  But the rumor mill was circulating: Jane Doe’s sorority mentor told her that people were shaming her as a “slut.”The frat’s president disinvited her from the party “for her own good.” Doe was furious. That’s when she played the assault card, nearly a month after the incident. Yet the campus rape industry cannot tolerate Doe’s earlier honest self-evaluation.If females take full responsibility for their own behavior, the lucrative, bureaucracy-bloated grift will come crashing down. So the college assault complex has a surefire method for erasing such moments of clarity: Don’t believe those “survivor” statements. Females are only credible as purported victims. As NPR put it last week, a victim’s initial statements “often cannot be taken at face value” because they are the product of her “trauma.”That means the only statements from a “survivor” th...
