A follow-up to our story yesterday about Max Nicastro. Mr. Nicastro was charged with rape, and he has pled not guilty. Mr. Nicastro has left Boston University amid the charges.
According to the Boston Herald: "Nicastro’s arrest follows the December bust of then leading Terrier scorer Corey Trivino, who was charged with bursting into a resident assistant’s room and groping her. [Katherine Redmond, founder of the National Coalition Against Violent Athletes] said the NCAA needs to provide schools like BU resources to help prevent future sex crimes by athletes: 'My concern is how they address that culture so that it doesn’t happen again.'” See here.
What is the "it," Ms. Redmond?
What is the "it"?
Of course we know what the "it" is, Ms. Redmond.
It's another sex "crime" -- like the two you assume were committed at BU -- based on allegations of female students.
What is your evidence either were actual crimes, Ms. Redmond?

Redmond's hate comments are so typical that no one bothers to challenge them. Except you.
Katherine Redmond is one of the greatest villains I can think of. She is the woman that effectively encouraged retaliations against the Women's Lacrosse team at Duke because they didn't toe the party line when it came to the false accusations against the men's team (her comments came after everyone realized the boys were innocent).
Many people on the left seem to have a most peculiarly malleable standard for stereotyping. They seem to have no problem stereotyping white males as having a rape culture despite the fact that only a small minority of white men are actually rapists. Indeed, as Amanda Marcotte has shown, you can stereotype white lacrosse players, even after they've been utterly exonerated of the particular rape that provoked your outrage, as rapists and lose not one whit of your standing within the liberal/left community as a fighter of bigotry. On the other hand if you say that there is a culture of violence in the black community that proves you're a racist even if black have a higher total number of murders in a year than whites even though blacks make up slightly less than 13% of the population and whites make up more than 70%.

The way I see it, we ought to have a single criteria for deciding when stereotypes are valid and when they're not and stick to it rather than playing the game of having ridiculously low criteria when stereotyping people you don't like and absurdly difficult criteria when it comes to stereotyping those you do.
