Chronicling the ongoing intersectional struggle to liberate women — progressively defined to include the legacy kind and the transgenders — from The Patriarchy™, one microaggression at a time.

Et tu, Mike?

Someday, inshallah, the United Feminists of America are bound to come up with a sensational college rape story that evil white fraternity brothers committed, to sell to the public that has at least some tentative basis in reality.

Today is not that day.

A brief recap of the latest hoax involving the “Cornell 7,” for those who haven’t been paying attention:

  • “Rape victim” takes a bunch of drugs and alcohol and goes to a frat party.
  • “Rape victim” engages in consensual sex with multiple men at frat party, including snorting ketamine off of one of the men’s genitals. She later explicitly acknowledges that the sex acts were consensual and that nothing illegal happened. Her verbatim text to one of the men she would later accuse of rape: “None of the sexual stuff was illegal.” Another verbatim quote to police investigators: “I was pretty OK with all of this.”
  • “Rape victim” realizes she is a rape victim — after, again, explicitly acknowledging that she wasn’t raped and begging to be let back into the frat house for a Halloween party to have more sex with some of the men she later accuses of rape — only after she sees other people online framing her as such once her sexual escapades become common knowledge on campus.
  • The latest celebrity “rape victim” is born.

I’m speculating here, but it seems as if what this fake rape victim might have calculated is that it’s better to be a celebrity rape victim standing up to The Patriarchy™ than a run-of-the-mill campus harlot. But what really motivated her realization that she’d been raped after explicitly affirming she hadn’t been raped and that she had a great time is yet to be fleshed out, perhaps to come out during pending civil litigation.

The circus around this case has unleashed a torrent of performative virtue-signaling from the usual suspects eager to make hay.

New York Gov. Kathy Hochul came out recently to demand the closure of what she called the “voluntary intoxication loophole.”

The so-called “voluntary intoxication loophole” is not actually a loophole at all, but a sound legal principle that people who engage in voluntary sex after voluntarily taking drugs can’t credibly accuse their sex partners of rape sometime down the line.

Via The 19th (emphasis added):

The reopened criminal investigation into an alleged gang rape at Cornell University has sharpened scrutiny on voluntary intoxication laws, which make it harder to protect assault survivors if they chose to drink alcohol or use drugs at the time of the attack. 

A former Cornell student identified as Jane Doe said she arrived intoxicated at the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024. In a civil lawsuit filed in September, she said that she was then drugged and sexually assaulted by multiple fraternity members while incapacitated. 

But voluntary intoxication laws, which are in place around the country, say that if the person who was assaulted chose to become intoxicated, they are capable of consenting to sex, so sexual assault laws do not apply…

That means that if someone chose to consume alcohol or drugs and then was sexually assaulted, it can be harder to pursue criminal charges.

“In these states where these laws are still persisting for some reason, they still want to continue to be holden to this notion that somebody who is inebriated deserves to be punished, or has it coming for them, so to speak,” said Dr. Chinmoy Gulrajani, a professor at the University of Minnesota Medical School who has studied these laws.

What they’re hoping to do with this, obviously, is make prosecuting rape hoaxes such as the Cornell 7 saga easier, because feminism.
