i do look forward to reactions from the Team Man-ers that bleat on about how their outrage for this system is absolutely, solely about wanting justice and fairness and due process in all cases like this, and not just that they’re upset that a man is the target, though.

Alright, I’ll bite.

Obviously, “Team Man”ers are going to have a bias towards wanting to see this woman found guilty (which she was, in part) and punished, just as feminists display the opposite bias. To that end, debates about whether or not she’s getting just treatment will almost always be a bit corrupted.

I’ve been following this story for a while now, not terribly closely, but the major developments, since the accusation hit the media (before the letter, before the conclusion of the investigation).

I remember being pleased to see that there was an accusation against a feminist professor, as I think feminists project an air or moral superiority a lot of the time, and it’s nice to see that myth busted. It’s also nice to see a person, who in all likelihood supported the kangaroo court system mandated by Obama, get devoured by the same beast.

But man, oh man, seeing that letter was such a sweet cherry on top. It both confirmed my suspicions that feminists don’t want their own to be subject to the same system they’re forcing on everyone else, and put a number of top feminist academic names behind it, proving this hypocrisy isn’t limited to “fake” feminists, tumblrinas, the Twitter brigade, etc. It lies in the heart veins of feminist thought and leadership. The fact that they used the exact same arguments as tbose who have defended male accuseds in the past made it that much better.

That, of course, left me very concerned about what the school’s finding would be. I remember making a few comments on r/mensrights, cautioning other MRAs and reminding them that due process was what mattered, but I won’t deny I wanted the result to be a guilty finding, even though I had no access to the information about the case. Admitting your own bias is important, and the first step in defending yourself from it.

So, as I understand it, she was found guilty of harassment on some of the charges, but not all. That’s an “acceptable” finding as far as my bias is concerned.

However—and here’s where I think we can get away from bias a little bit—from what I know of cases in which male teachers have been accused, suspension is not the typical punishment; termination is. So, my question is: why just a suspension? Obviously, my bias leads me to think that a gender and possibly even political double-standard is responsible. Had this been a non-feminist man, I suspect he’d be out of a job, and possibly unemployable now. To the extent that the data support that belief, I think it’s pretty indefensible that this woman be given a mere suspension.

Anyway, I hope there are more cases like this. The only way the Far Left will return to sanity on this issue is when their heroes and icons start getting consumed by the blaze they started.
