Faux rape had now migrated from Duke to the University of Virginia, from Neha Gupta Westside Story [1]:
The fraternity gang rape case happened at the University of Virginia arises a key issue, what is it, is it a culture of rape or is it a culture of responsibility? Calling the hideous crime as a culture of rape would be frightening as well as unjustified. It is a false belief system without any support from any of the groups in society. Even honest feminists will deny the existence of such a system. Accepting it as a culture implies a system that approves rape as an end in itself in the nation.
There are several social and cultural problems in the society that are responsible for putting the females in the miserable condition. It especially stands true in college campuses. However, it doesn’t justify the culture of rape. It would be more apt to call it as a culture of irresponsibility, and it can be even supported by many reasons.
Earth to Gupta, come in please. The University of Virginia fraternity gang rape story is a hoax, journalist fraud. from Glen Harlen Reynolds, Useless Toady [2]:
Americans have been living through an enormously sensationalized college rape hoax, but as the evidence accumulates it’s becoming clear that the entire thing was just a bunch of media hype and political opportunism.
No, I’m not talking about the Rolling Stone‘s lurid and now-exploded [3] fraternity gang-rape story. Whatever the truth behind that story, it’s now clear that basically nothing that Rolling Stone reporter Sabrina Rubin Erdely told us happened, actually happened. But the hoax is much bigger than one overwrought and perhaps entirely fictional tale of campus goings-on
Nothing that Erdely reported as happened on the University of Virginia campus actually happened. There was no crime, no rape culture and no narrative. Get over it and move on.
