    Why must the campaign against campus rape be so dishonest? Many lies & distortions from a Harvard case. http://www.slate.com/articles/news_and_politics/doublex/2015/06/the_hunting_ground_a_closer_look_at_the_influential_documentary_reveals.html?wpsrc=sh_all_dt_tw_top … via @slate

        @AstrokidNJ @sapinker Why can't both be true? Women HAVE been oppressed for a millennia. AND these film makers lied. Both true.

        @jdevilb @sapinker @ShawnElliott @Slate it means putting his hand on her back while she was asleep, without sexual intent.
