It's not evidence of anything except what four people tweeted. It's a form of yellow journalism.
And I'm sorry, but I have a hard time taking arguments that are constantly punctuated with charges of "hysteria" by the "leftist feminists" seriously. If an argument has merit, it can be made—and can be made much more effectively—without constant resort to that kind of polemic.

And I have a hard time taking seriously the argument (made repeatedly and more shrilly in the last few years by feminists, the media, politicians, etc and obviously bought fully by some of the folks here) that there is a "rape crisis" when practical suggestions that could
prevent future "rapes" are dismissed as victim blaming and icky.
Instead, we get ridiculousness like this:

Does anybody else remember that SNL skit that resulted when Antioch College made their feeble attempt to regulate all physical encounters among their college students?
