Feminists praise Betsy DeVos's new campus sex assault rules

Proving that pigs do fly the New York Times has published an article that admits that Trump isn't actually Satan.

Trump's education secretary, Betsy DeVois, recently created new rules for how colleges have to handle sexual assault claims.

Colleges can no longer simply declare that a man is guilty based on the uncorroborated testimony of a woman.

Previously many colleges simply didn't "waste" time on hearing or allow the defendant to defend themselves they just declared if a woman said she was assaulted she was assaulted.

Oddly Democrats don't support that policy when it comes to women say that Democrats, like Bill Clinton and Joe Biden, have assaulted them.

In any case the usual Democrat politicians and left wing loons have all condemned DeVos for daring to say that before throwing a man out of college and ruining his life based on the uncorroborated claims of a woman they actually have to hold a public hearing and let the man defend himself.

But the NYT found that a large number of feminist legal scholars agree that the right solution to the Democrats rape culture--ever notice that it's almost always Democrats who are credibly accused of sexual assault?--isn't to declare all men guilty.

It's clear from the quote that the NYT used that the feminists who are supporting DeVos's new rules hate Trump:

“The new system is vastly better and fairer,” said Prof. Janet Halley, who specializes in gender and sexuality at Harvard Law School. “The fact that we’re getting good things from the Trump administration is confusing, but isn’t it better than an unbroken avalanche of bad things?”
The rules that DeVos has created aren't draconian and they don't require schools to assume that the woman is lying in every he said she said situation.  But they do require that if, for example, there are people who saw the women go willingly with the guy to his room or that if there are women who the "victim" told she in fact wasn't assaulted their testimony should be heard.

Obviously no sane person would object to that. After all look at what the Democrats are doing with respect to the credible accusation against Biden.

Are they saying that he must resign?  No they're impugning the honest of the Tara Reade, his accuser, and openly declaring that if she doesn't prove her claim it should be ignored.  DeVos's new rules wouldn't allow that.

Yet the same people saying that we should assume Tara Reade is lying are furious that DeVos is saying that Colleges can't simply assume that men are lying.

What's sad is that those feminists are now under attack because they don't understand how the left works.

Truth is irrelevant all that matters is power.  Any lie that supports Democrats getting more power is good any truth that keeps Democrats from getting power is bad.

Don't be shocked if those feminist legal scholars are soon facing censor and firing for their commitment to truth.
