she can either lean toward admitting that she partied too hard, wanted to be a slut in the moment, and that she regretted it later, or she lean toward being the victim and a bunch of feminists and liberals will run their default settings and try to ruin the lives of every male involved
This is why slut-shaming is such a bad idea. Give women incentives to make false accusations of sexual assault, or even appear to do so, and women who have actually been assaulted will find the matter treated with much less gravity than it deserves; the perpetrators will then have the opportunity to victimise more women, who otherwise would have been spared such horror.
Many people here will probably disagree with my philosophy, but I do not believe that there is any amount of 'deterring inchastity among consenting adults' that can outweigh 'preventing one instance of rape'.
(TK: an elaboration on this involving a certain controversial Yuletide duet.)

"You want to discriminate against people on the basis of their skin color. I want to discriminate against people on the basis of their behavior. We are not the same."
"...not by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
There is certainly a lot of behaviour on the basis of which we could use more discrimination, as long as the behaviours discriminated against aren't cherry-picked to be those more common among people of colour while ignoring equally-harmful conduct disproportionally seen in white people (or vice versa), and as long as a white person and a person of colour are met with the same consequences for the same malfeasance....

But modern conditions allow a country like France to have a more elaborate approach to succession, such as The Rotating Triple Crown.
In that particular example, that would also solve the dispute between the Legitimists, Orleanists, and Bonapartists....

Just today I was reading some theory about how groups run/composed by nerds sucked at excluding people (even if they really were causing a net drain of energy/enjoyment/efficiency) because nerds got excluded for giving the ick and so refrain from doing it to others... looks like these leftists have similar issue.
So... they're doing unto others as they would have others do unto them?

The problem of course with dictatorships is dictator selection, with the first one usually being a charismatic psychopath and successors being his failsons or geriatric party cadre members.

He's worried about the same things you are: Israel, secularization, sexual debauchery, consumerism, the plight of the Ummah.

...their holy river has suffers from "severe contamination, primarily caused by billions of liters of untreated sewage, industrial runoff, agricultural chemicals".
...which might bear a nanogram of relevance if nothing like that had ever happened in the United States....

Calling things you don't like was ok, then it wasn't and now it's back.
I think you may have accidentally a word....
Well I was referring to assaults which wouldn't have happened had the victim been normal.
Yes. That is called a hate crime. Such crimes are considered particularly heinous because they, in addition to the harm inflicted on the direct victim, also act as a terroristic threat to other members of the targeted group: "Know your place, or this will happen to you!".
pulling the same shit they always do
And is that something that harms anyone, or rises to the level of harassment? Or is it just 'existing in a way that wasn't part of what I learned when I was little'?

“The louder he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons.” --Ralph Waldo Emerson
"In the criminal justice system, the people are represented by two separate, yet equally important, groups: the police, who investigate crime; and the district attorneys, who prosecute the offenders. These are their stories."
Where in the expletive does 'the university adminisphere' enter into it‽
