ASHE SCHOW: Marginalizing The Already Marginalized:

Sometimes, small percentages of the American people are worth fighting for. And sometimes they’re not, at least for the Left.

About 10 percent of the American people are uninsured and can’t get health insurance? Better disrupt the entire healthcare system to help them.

About 6 percent of U.S. residents are here illegally? Better disrupt the entire immigration system to make them legal.

Less than 1 percent of women are raped each year while in college? Better redefine consent to turn nearly all sex into rape unless nobody reports it.

But 10 percent of rape accusations are false? (One study suggests it’s as high as 40 percent.) That’s negligible and can be ignored. . . . Those falsely accused in college can be kicked off campus or even expelled without due process or evidence. That’s a substantial loss of tuition. The black mark on one’s record can prevent a man falsely accused from getting into other colleges or even finding employment after graduation.

If sexual assault survivors are people, not statistics, then the falsely accused are also people, not statistics. And, as such, they cannot be ignored for a greater narrative and policies that are poised to increase the number of falsely accused.

It’s all about politics. The “compassion” talk is just a smokescreen. And college men need to realize that the feminists, and their Democratic allies like Claire McCaskill and Kirsten Gillibrand, are entirely happy to sacrifice your lives for a slogan.
