The story of the Gang Rape of a woman named Jackie at a fraternity at the University of Virginia in 2012 is partially true. The supposed victim was a female student at the University of Virginia in 2012. Every other part of the story seems to be a complete fabrication.
The Progressive Left is not backing down, still defending the story as, essentially, “fake but accurate.” To quote an editorial in the Washington Post:
This is what we mean in America when we say someone is “innocent until proven guilty.” After all, look what happened to the Duke lacrosse players.
In important ways, this is wrong. We should believe, as a matter of default, what an accuser says. … Because Rape Culture is real.
“Rape Culture” being the name for the Narrative that the UVa story was made up to fit.
The Progressive Left, except for a few out-liars, have quietly begun abandoning defense of the story. They have resorted to the tactic of attacking those who were skeptical of the story. They are claiming that anyone who doesn’t support the notion that rapists are guilty until proven innocent, or who suggests that stories like Jackie’s should be subject to scrupulous fact-checking… is that right-wingers want to deny that rape exists.
mindset emerging on the right that because rolling stone royally effed up, all rape allegations can be ignored is super dangerous
Who on the right is saying this? Nobody, that’s who, but there is no one left but Straw men to defend the Progressive argument. When defending a lie, it’s always easiest to recruit volunteers from the voices-in-your-head.
One should very properly be skeptical when a story in the MFM fits into a left-wing narrative like the costume of a comic-book superhero.
Isn’t this the same excuse they gave when the documents proving that W was AWOL proved to be forgeries? That the narative behind the story was real?
And when the trip by HW was shown to be a complete fabrication was false? That the severity of the charge was more important than the facts?
How far will their narcissism go before they implode?
If anything, it’s crap like THIS that’s rape culture. False accusations, jumping to conclusions, and allowing campus bureaucrats to handle rape instead of cops, prosecutors, and judges…THAT IS RAPE CULTURE. Not this feminist idea of it.
With the new rape by deception laws coming out the push back is against trannys
“Not only that, trannies think they have a “right” to sleep with straight men without disclosing that they used to have penises, and that men who feel violated by this are “transphobic” bigots.
Unfortunately for transsexuals, what they’re doing might actually be rape.
Last month, New Jersey State Assemblyman Troy Singleton (D-Burlington) introduced a bill that would criminalize “rape by fraud,” the act of having sex with someone by lying about yourself. ”

The people who are shrieking about “rape culture” are the same ones who yesterday demanded that “big black men” should rape conservative women.
Kind of hard for them to criticize it when they themselves encourage it.
I see what you did there!
The “rape” conversation and the “Black lives matter” conversation are simply tools to distract America from the stuff that is really important. The press no longer reports news, it uses “news” to control the agenda.
Rape Culture is real. It’s called Islam.
