The very visible and vocal discussions about sexual assault at Cornell are reviving ugly memories and testing how far recovery has progressed for many people out there, particularly those of you in higher ed. For everyone who's been unwillingly dragged back to a dark place, please take care.

Please don't give the DA reopening the Cornell case any cookies.

District Attorney Matthew Van Houten all but called Jane Doe a liar today. He said that in Doe's initial statement, she described "her participation in drug use and sexual conduct as voluntary, conscious, and consensual.”

Campus rape is really widespread; statistics suggest a significant percent of women who go to college will be raped there; feminism opened up a good conversation about it around 2012-13; it's weird when people treated Cornell like an isolated rather than dramatic example of a pervasive problem.

Of the 7 Cornell Uni rapists, 2 were expelled, 5 given in-house punishments. So, female students at Cornell are sharing the campus with 5 known rapists. If the uni knows they were all involved, why were they not all expelled?! Why haven't uni staff gone on strike in protest?! #Cornell7
