There are numerous layers of this subject that are of interest to me, but my main points are that the crisis meme is:

1. Manufactured
2. Dangerous - as a response to the manufactured crisis, colleges and universities are throwing due process out the window
3. Disingenuous - if 1 in 5 (or 4) was anywhere close to an accurate statistic, common sense would dictate a primary and robust emphasis on prevention. Instead, the activists pushing the crisis meme seem more interested in the "process" of victim support and perp discipline.
