Things haven't changed so much since 1978. Not in a football town when you are talking about football players
Bull. Today, men are routinely expelled from college and have their lives ruined with almost no real evidence in Title IX proceedings that don't meet any reasonable standards of justice.
What you call "jumping through hoops" is what is actually called providing proof that a crime occurred. So terrible to have such high expectations for putting someone in jail for years.
The terrible thing about this notion that the normal standards of justice shouldn't apply to rape because it's hard to prove is that it would be black men who would suffer the most from it.
