I'm just curious what everyone's thoughts are on this. If your response is "I'm not touching this", I'll understand.
Make college students look dumber everyday.
Not the police, the government, elected officials, religions or its leaders, institutions of learning, businesses big or small, the banks, or even new technologies.
Inside every Santa Clause there is a Jerry Sandusky trying to come out.
You're among friends here. Feel free to unburden yourself.
Much like Duke Lacrosse case, Ferguson, Trayvon, women making 77 cents to the dollar, super bowl Sunday being the "Super Bowl" of domestic violence, nonsense about heterosexual AIDS, Dan Rather baloney, etc etc etc
This is some on the Lefts religion, Willy. Facts are not wanted or needed.
The case you mention absolutely disintegrated by a couple of phone calls by WaPo. Just a left wing hit job by Rolling Stone. Conservatives have grown accustomed to them.
$40 million spent on the worst piece of oversight ever seen!!
the professed victim, nor those accused of perpetrating the crime. However, I wouldn't rule out that it indeed happened, even though she might not have all the facts straight.
Women should refrain from putting themselves in the position to end up a victim.
Women should learn how to be a better judge of character.
Yes Matt, I'm blaming liberalism.
Woman, like men, often put themselves into precarious positions with strangers or relative strangers. That happened 5000 years ago and will happen 5000 years from now. Women do need to be more wary of this just due to the obvious physical differences between the sexes.
As for being better judges of character...well...lets face it...evil people know how to play on and prey on their soon to be victims.
Many people are fantastic judges of character but don't have enough info at that particular moment for them to make an ironclad assessment 100% of the time.
Regardless what's she's wearing, where she is or what she's drinking , no man has the right to rape a woman.
Is it the young woman's fault she was raped by her swimming coach, when her new bathing suit showed off her curves?
Men with diminutive physical stature are raped more often by other men .
Is it Tiny's fault he was raped when he worked as a Shower attendant at the gym?
Is it Small Fry's fault he was raped when he asked for the bottom bunk?

I thought these things happened only in India!
"Blaming the victim!" Of course the same reasoning doesn't typically apply if she's his wife, daughter, etc.
Leave it to Huffpo to try to defend the indefensible. Recall it was RS who threw Gen McCrystal under the bus by printing comments he made that the reporter, since deceased by his own stupid hand, agreed were OTR. RS is reaping what it sowed.
I have no idea what you're talking about. Try spelling it out in whole words.
Ok champ. I'll go slowly. RS writer shopped multiple sources at various universities for a 'story' to fill her manhating narrative. Settled on UVA. Didn't investigate the accused. Or the accuser. Just wrote the 'story' as the 'victim' relayed it. When it blew up I their face, the writer and RS went into Witpro. Hence there really wasn't a proven victim as you allege.
And to boot, RS practiced journalistic malpractice by using quotes from Gen McCrystal giving more support to your theory that there's a good shot it actually happened. Not Where is the 'victim?' Where is,the author? Where is the owner of RS, Jan Wenner?
Anyone who places any credibility on RS for factual journalism is an idiot.
I'll run it by you again.
Notice where I use the term "the professed victim" and "those accused of perpetrating the crime." Neither indicates that I believe the woman, nor believe the young men are guilty. Indeed, I said "I wouldn't want to place money on either side..."
I have not read either Rolling Stone stories you mentioned. Why would I go to Rolling Stone for the truth on anything.
I was merely responding to Willy's question "uva gang rape. Hoax or nope?", and using my linked article for an explanation why I would not bet on the truthfulness on either side.
Now, do you get it? 
For asking an opinion on something created by the left wing media/liberals (RS article) without even reading it. Well done.
Or, your reading comprehension is nil? It was Willy who asked for opinions. And, for opinions about the veracity of what was claimed to have happened, not the RS article on the matter.
The only opinion I asked for was Willy's on the subject.
I thought we were talking about a college aged woman, entering a fraternity house. Whith a college aged fraternity male.
My comment was in response to that very situation.
I'm not blaming the victim for the assault, I'm saying that young women need to know that may not be a safe environment for them.

Yes Matt, I'm blaming liberalism.
however, many women and the colleges and universities who sanction their fraternities, expect them to be safe. If the university has any reason to suspect a fraternity is not, then it's incumbent on the school to shut it down. It is reasonable for a woman to believe that attending a frat event would be safe based on the school allowing the frat to operate.
Just an absurd overreaction and in light of the new developments, make them look like even bigger idiots.

People including women should think for themselves. I believe individuals can make better personal choices for themselves, rather than letting the institution/s make decisions for them.
True or not, we hear these stories every semester. Women should make decisions, as if these stories are true. There is no reason to make a political issue out of such events.
Is there a proven method to guarantee a building we are entering is safe ?
In a civilized world any woman should be as safe walking in a Fraternity house as entering the White House.
There are always risks with no guarantees, depending on the man inside.

I can't recall if there was another lawyer on the board or not, but my understanding is that when someone tells a story that continually fails to be consistent, then you can safely assume that person isn't being truthful.
What I'm wondering is with modern feminism being what it is these days, are there really any downsides for a woman to claim she was raped? I keep looking at the Bill Cosby thing, and I keep thinking, "wait, isn't this just a blatant attempt to extort money from him?"
Perhaps this will help!
