Accused Columbia Rapist Argues in Lawsuit That ‘Rapist’ Is a Gendered Slur
New York Magazine ^ | April 25, 2016 | Jessica Roy

Posted on 04/25/2016 3:26:02 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Paul Nungesser, the alleged rapist of Columbia graduate and sexual-assault activist Emma Sulkowicz, had his Title IX lawsuit against the university dismissed in March when a U.S. District Court judge decided that "taken to its logical extreme, Nungesser’s position would lead to the conclusion that those who commit, or are accused of committing, sexual assault are a protected class under Title IX." But the ruling allowed for Nungesser to file an updated complaint — and oh, boy, did he.

The 100-page document filed on Monday reiterates the earlier complaint's claim that Nungesser was the victim of a smear campaign by Sulkowicz, and that the university's refusal to intervene counts as a form of sex-based harassment banned under Title IX. But the new complaint goes even further: Not only were Columbia's actions in the Sulkowicz case a violation of Title IX, the university's school-wide sexual-assault policy violates Title IX by making the assumption that most people who commit rape are male (an assumption that's less an assumption than it is fact).

Other arguments Nungesser's lawyers make in the complaint include:

• In the same way that whore is a gender-based slur against women, rapist is a gender-based slur against men.

• Making false rape accusations is a form of gender-based harassment. (Who determines which accusations are "false" isn't clear.)

• Columbia applies its free-speech codes differently to men than it does to women in a way that discriminates against men.

"While I personally would like to put this case behind me, I also think this complaint raises some fundamental questions that our society deserves answers to," Nungesser told Newsweek.

Shakespeare’s phrase, “hoist with his own petard,” is an idiom that means “to be harmed by one’s own plan to harm someone else” or “to fall into one’s own trap”, implying that one could be lifted (blown) upward by one’s own bomb, or in other words, be foiled by one’s own plan.

[[PC is forcefully interjected into society to corrupt natural law and natural order and obviously it is succeeding]]

We are rapidly moving toward the day when the perverts will be able to legally stand outside our homes and demand that we send out our guests or children to be raped by the crowd

Last time society became that depraved, it didn’t go so well for the two morally depraved cities-

I’d have to say as far as stupid stunts pulled by leftists, this one is at or near the top of the list. It’s a shame somebody didn’t steal her stupid mattress or put itching powder all over it.

When men argue that they should be allowed to piss in the ladies’ room because “they feel like ladies” then rape becomes a matter for debate.

Oh, Brave New World.
