ASHE SCHOW: Advocacy groups must believe rape accusers without evidence, others should not. “We now live in a society where the search for the truth — things like facts and evidence and true investigation — is labeled as victim-blaming and an impediment to justice. A society where an accuser’s word — and sometimes, a university’s made-up version of the accuser’s word — becomes gospel, and evidence provided by the accused is ignored. A society where false statistics are repeated and those who disagree are disparaged as ‘rape apologists.'” It’s not about helping rape victims. It’s about protecting a racket from dangerous scrutiny.
