Why sex assault survivors are fuming over DeVos proposal

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Proposed changes to how the nation's colleges and universities should handle sexual assault investigations are leaving sexual assault survivors and victim rights organizations sputtering mad, claiming the moves would tip the playing field toward those accused of sexual assault.

"Is ruining lives your version of a back-to-school welcome?" Morgan McCaul, a survivor of sexual abuse by former MSU doctor Larry Nassar, tweeted as news of the potential changes broke on Wednesday evening.

"When we define policy about criminal sexual misconduct, it is imperative that we consider victims first," she told the Free Press later. "Limiting the availability of justice for complainants is concerning and reckless, especially in today’s climate."

The proposed changes — from the federal Department of Education led by Michigan's Betsy DeVos — would limit colleges to investigating only those sex assaults that happen on campus. Assaults that occur just off campus, in places like fraternity houses or off-campus housing, wouldn't be investigated by the institutions.

1. I think maybe Betsy ought to get violently raped.

See how she feels about having to stand there in front of her rapist and answer questions that we all know would be made to break the victim down. This will by the way only be the rule for the middle class and down. If you have money like Bitchy Devos your rapist will probably be hung before the case even gets to trial.

2. It sounds vicious, but the only way that woman will understand anything is to

suffer hardship herself.

I am beginning to hate her almost as much as I hate Trump. She is pure evil.

3. Presumably so they can try and claim there were far less incidents under their administration

Heartless fucks.
