#RapeHoax posters plastered around Columbia University in backlash against alleged rape victim
Washington Post ^ | May 22, 2015 | Michael E. Miller

Hours after the graduation ceremony, posters featuring a photo of Sulkowicz alongside the words “pretty little liar” and the Twitter hashtag #RapeHoax appeared around Columbia’s campus. The large black and white posters were plastered on subway signs and on boarded up buildings, street lights and newspaper kiosks.

It’s unclear who is behind the #RapeHoax campaign, but the same people also appear to have started a “Fake Rape” account on Twitter and Flickr (the Flickr account has since been taken down). Neither Sulkowicz nor the unnamed individuals behind the #RapeHoax campaign immediately returned requests for comment made late Thursday night.

As with every twist and turn during the 10-month saga of Sulkowicz’s public protest, reaction to the posters was immediate and intense. Photos showed New Yorkers tearing down the posters in disgust on Wednesday morning, only for similar photos to be mockingly posted on the “Fake Rape” Twitter feed as well.

From a blog called “TheOtherMcCain,” there is this commentary on the Nunngesser/Sulkywicz case:

“A guy dates two girls his freshman year. One of them is a regular girlfriend and the other is what is sometimes called “friends with benefits” or, more bluntly, a “f–kbuddy.” He and the girlfriend breakup and, after he has a third hookup with the other girl, he seems to lose interest in her, too. The guy has no reason to believe that either of these girls bears him any particular grudge. He’s moving on with his life, dating other girls, and then these two ex-girlfriends get together and start talking to each other and — BOOM! — he’s a rapist?”

As I recall, during the expose’ of her communications with the boyfriend accused of rape, she admitted getting drunk at a party and giving some guy a STD or vice versa. She must have had a great time at school after those recordings and emails went public.

Is Columbia going to have a mural painted of the DC Killer - showing him torturing the child in front of his parents?

Or will Marquette University pick up that honor?

Maybe the Ferguson ‘love a thug’ team could to a memorial to the killer... stick it right in front of the house....

"Nobody but the two who were there that night can know for sure what happened."

Not according to the whole story:
she had sex with him on more than one occasion, maybe 3 times or more, THEN decided she'd been "raped" because he had another girlfriend...

She reported the "rape" months later.

The feminist revolution is to falsely assuse men of rape and get away with it.

Her long string of text conversations is pretty damning to her credibility though.

It’s all about the feminist power play and seeking revenge.

Even if they prove that this man is innocent his life will be ruined forever.

And this spoiled feminist self centered woman will ruin every man’s lives in whom she comes in contact with, it’s the feminist’s way.

Gentlemen a good word of advise ? Stay far away from liberal women like these no matter how hot they are, they are demons from hell and will make your life a living hell.

Gentlemen ? Don’t date a woman that you would not take home to greet mama.

Find a good Christian women in church.
