Harvard Liberals Hate New Campus Sex Laws

"In the past two years, overzealous efforts to regulate sexual conduct on campus have drawn criticism mainly from conservatives such as George Will. Ironically, in recent days, a couple of conservative commentators — Conn Carroll on Townhall.com and Heather Mac Donald in The Weekly Standard — have expressed qualified sympathy for this campaign as a way to discourage campus sex, restore chivalry, and vindicate the Victorian notion that women need to be protected from male lust."

The worst case scenario is this: two consenting drunken students have sex. By the definition prevailing in some jurisdictions, the man has raped the woman.

"In a particularly bizarre case at Occidental College, John Doe was expelled over a dorm room encounter with a young woman who was judged incapable of valid consent due to intoxication, even though, in her allegedly incapacitated state, the female student had texted Doe to ask if he had a condom and to discuss sneaking out of her dorm and into his, and texted another friend to say that she was about to have sex. John Doe was found responsible for misconduct despite being no less drunk than his accuser!"
