And yes, I would have reacted the same way if the headline had been said "Right-Wing Mysogenists Freak Out."

There were a lot more tweets than four, they simply use those four as examples. And no, that doesn't implicate all "leftist feminists" any more than a tweet like "men should learn not to rape" implicates all men.
I found it worth reading simply because it's more evidence of the very unserious rape crisis hysteria that
some leftist feminists have whipped up in the media.
The male victims of the "presumed guilty" crowd are starting to speak out.

And many college campus administrators aren't very happy about being caught in a no-win situation where no matter how sensitively they attend to the exquisite demands of feminist victim ideology, they can never be quite sensitive enough because, well, you know, MEN.
