In balancing a systematic critique on a single person’s story, Erdely essentially used a rightwing strategy to make a leftist point. The trouble is only that the right is skilled at this game, and correctly deduced that undoing Jackie’s story would go a long way to endangering Erdely’s larger structural point. It’s an opportunity they never should have been given, both for Jackie’s sake, and for the sake of the victims who really do find themselves struggling for protection within a hostile justice system.

And this is complete and utter nonsense. These people do not, will not, live in the real world.

I strongly suspect the most common example of a young woman’s claims of rape being discounted is when black athletes rape white coeds.

They’re protected by the Race Card and the Athlete Card.

Other than that, I think colleges love to jump on rapists.
