That's a defense? If it's a problem when those with whom you disagree overgeneralize and oversimplify, why is it okay when done by those you're citing for support.

Or perhaps you should consider the possibility that you're not expressing yourself nearly as clearly as you may think you are. Beyond the repeated assertion that the "rape crisis" has been manufactured by "the hysteria crowd," I'm having real trouble trying to understand exactly what points you're trying to make.
I don't know how many more times I can say it. We have a problem with rape on college campuses but it's not a crisis. The extent and nature of the problem is being exaggerated. The preferred "solutions" being called for by those who are erroneously exaggerating the problem into a crisis aren't going to do much good and are going to do a lot of harm. Therefore, I oppose the solutions being called for, and because I think the objective truth matters, I also oppose the use of exaggeration as a way to compel action.

By chance has your husband, or any of his colleagues, gotten caught up in any controversy about how a rape or sexual assault was handled on campus? Or do you perhaps know a young man who was accused?
No. And no. I do know some young women and not so young women who have had drunken sex that they can't remember
