Shutter Fraternities for Young Women's Good

[DaffyKD]

Let me get this straight. This lady was raped in a fraternity house 27 years ago. By my calculations, whether the culprits were prosecuted or not, none of they are still in school. As a result of her nightmare, all fraternities should be shuttered now?? Guilty by association?

What about men who have an apartment and have parties in their apartments, should that now be made illegal? Coed dorms-- illegal since men are in close proximity to young ladies and can rape them? Oh, lets not forget the young men who live at home and commute to school-- should they no longer be allowed on college campuses for fear they COULD rape a woman?

Should all schools be same sex?

This is one very illogical article.

No, Liz Seccuro (the one who was raped 27 years ago) talks in her book about how one of her rapists was making his AA amends and came forward to her. From a brief google, she doesn't seem to be focusing on the fact that it happened at a fraternity house (although it did), rather on her ultimately getting justice, and on forgiveness and redemption.

Caitlin Flanagan (google her name, apparently the gender feminists AND the equity feminists both hate her) is the one who wants all fraternities to be closed down because that will automatically eliminate rape. She is an idiot.

Normally, regardless of how you feel about her, Caitlin Flanagan's essays make sense. This one does not.

Liz Seccuro (the actual victim) ended up joining a sorority at UVA. None of the articles I've read about her mention any indictment of the Greek system or even that specific fraternity (she did mention that she avoided that house)--it seems like she understands that it could have happened anywhere.
