56% of women say it's better to accidentally punish innocent men in a rape trial.

Activists may suggest that it is better that innocent students be harmed than a responsible student be allowed to continue his education. This was evidenced in a Washington Post survey about campus sexual assault, in which students were asked which was worse, an innocent person being expelled or a guilty student going free. Fifty-six percent of women surveyed said it was worse for a guilty student to go free. Just 36 percent of women surveyed said it was worse for an innocent to be punished, showing an alarming ignorance of the Constitition.

We've created a system where false accusations are easier to make and carry few if any consequences.

Bill Haggard of the University of North Carolina at Asheville has called the campus hearings a "learning experience." They are anything but, and Speier's bill would make sure that is the case.

If campus hearings were learning experiences, then activists couldn't get upset if students weren't expelled, but they are. Because the fact of the matter is, many campus activists want students accused of sexual assault to be punished as if they're criminals, but don't want to provide them with the appropriate due process rights to defend themselves.

Male feminists, rejoice!

That is, until you're the one who's falsely accused...

Polls are stupid. Ask the people you know will answer in the way that you want them to and voila....you have the statistic you want.

Please explain your comment to me in greater detail.
I read the quote, went to the site, but could only find the reference to 56% as being women who think it worse for a guilty person to go free.
This should mean that 44% think otherwise.
Yet the article then references 36% think otherwise.

So is it implying that 64% think that innocent convictions are OK? Or are there other choices in the survey we are not seeing?

holy crap 1 in 3 chicks, Assuming the survey was done in America it sounds about right.

-Edit: never mind, It is based on Activists opinions.

Did they say the wrongly accused should go to prison or just be expelled? If they want innocent accused to go to prison, that is truly disturbing. If its just being expelled, its unfortunate, but there are worse issues to worry about.

If I was raped by a gay I probably would want them to apologize and do community service rather than prison, assuming it was the guy's first offense.

Getting expelled from college is not all that bad, huh? Not being able to complete your education and having a rape accusation on your record is no big deal, huh?

Man, you're right down there with lovecraft68.
