Its not about gender expectations as much as it is about power and CONSENT, period, from anyone to anyone. Then send your kids to a Jesuit school where they get free condoms. Christendom College was founded in response to this cultural revolution, providing a fully integrated liberal arts education in fidelity to the Magisterium of the Church. The town has over 14,000 people, so the college isnt a large part of it. I dont know what transpired during their internal investigation, but the college could have called both accused and accuser (separately) to give testimony in the presence of an attorney. If the intent here is to correct inaccuracies rather than, as it appears to be, an attempt to discredit Simcha as a journalist then it would be appropriate to say what exactly was misleading or inaccurate in the original post(s). This is garbage, not because there isnt a problem at Christendom, but because your article contains obvious errors in judgment, is clearly slanted with the intent to make Christendom look bad, and doesnt address the actual problems that make these things happen.

I say, if you rape off campus, when you come back to campus, youre still a rapist.. Sin and error should be brought into the light so that Christ can heal them. Your objectives have nothing to do with the truth, the several patently false claims youve made about Christendom are evidence of as much. 50% thrill?!!!

However, I was a student at Christendom and nothing could be further from a boys will be boys culture on campus regarding sexual assault.
