I might get slammed for saying this but sad to say men these days are paying the price for some men who assaulted women especially on colleges where at times it got swept under the “rug”, men are just going to have to deal with the fact that if accused they are guilty before innocent and thus will have to deal with that even if it means avoiding females on campus.
Coastal Carolina University came out with a poster a couple of years ago, called the “Jake and Josie” poster.

Basically it shows a couple of students drinking, the text says “Jake was Drunk” “Josie was drunk” “Jake and Josie hooked up” “Josie could not consent” “The next day, Jake was charged with rape”
Of course, when it came out in the mainstream media, the obvious question was asked, “If Jake was drunk too, how could he consent?” But it shows the reality for Males on college campuses, they alone carry the burden of personal responsibility.

A subscription to the collective-guilt all-men-are-evil progressive mentality is not a good look on you.
I might not slam you for that viewpoint, but I think you would have to agree that the changing metrics of what defines “assault” is a major problem with the extrajudicial approach being taken by the Left.
If I went to college 30 years ago and did something that was acceptable by those standards (but not by today’s “standards”) and a woman from an encounter 30 years ago is convinced by someone or something that a wrong was done to her and she puts an article in the newspaper about it today, ruining my life or career, do I have to “deal with that”?
I understand the personal responsibility aspect, but sex is one of the strongest biological drives in nature, and a 19 year old male is a quivering tuning fork for the opposite sex. People destroy their lives, their marriages, their careers, betray their country for sex, and will even put their live in danger for sex.
Do we really want to allow this extrajudicial, ad-hoc hodgepodge of “standards” to affect anyone’s life at all?
