I love this. Same shit with the republican party when the tea party got rolling hard. How is it even possible to be a progressive ideological purist? Isn't the point incremental progress?
This happens to literally every political/social movement that accepts extremists. The various "oppressed people movement" need to cut out the cancer before they can achieve anything.I love this.

Great article, found this quote from the article interesting...
That is pretty much what Mist was arguing for also, and like the article says, its hard to think of an argument more blatantly illiberal.Klein appeared to agree that the legislation was likely to result in unfair punishments-though he later claimed this was a misunderstanding-but argued that it was good precisely because it had the potential to strike "fear and confusion" into men, since the problem of rape was so terrible and pervasive that only "ugly" remedies against it could be effective. It's hard to think of an argument more blatantly illiberal.
Shit is ridiculous and completely against any sense of fairness.While in theory the "preponderance" standard still requires giving slight benefit of the doubt to the defendant, in practice this may be neutralized by pressure to believe the complainant. At Stanford, for instance, an investigation by the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education showed-even before the recent reforms promoted by the federal government-that training materials for student "jurors" advised them to be "very, very cautious in accepting a man's claim that he has been wrongly accused of abuse or violence," since the vast majority of such claims are true.

For example, choice phrases include "I'm not some pretty fucking hopeless princess in distress!", "Pay up, motherfucker!", and "Start teaching boys not to fucking rape!" Yes, these little girls also talk about rape, as well as how society judges women's looks and pay equality.
