The app for independent voices

I recall working in an American university when the Title IX official showed up to give the department faculty a talk on their "legal duty" to report any and all allegations of abuse from "survivors." Implied in the label "survivor" was the guilt of the accused, already established. The misandrist attitude of some of the professors in that department was abhorrent. I was glad to get out of there. Academia is a lost cause at this point. The only solution is to start over with new universities that explicitly reject this madness.

As for cases like Macy's, I knew a man who was given to hugs. He was Portuguese and quite demonstrative, but not in a sexual way. He was just an extrovert who like to hug and sometimes kiss everyone, male or female. We were in the same circle of friends and activists (for a social justice cause). One day he was accused of rape anonymously, online. No accuser ever came forward, but feminists in this case took it on themselves to ban him from all events. He denied it, but to no avail. This caused division among the several hundred people who were part of this cause, some scapegoating him and others (like me) questioning what was being done to him - with zero evidence. Those who did question it were viewed with hatred by the feminist accusers. In the end, he was exiled from the movement and I left voluntarily in disgust after giving 10 years of my life to it. The feminist won.

Macy's case sounds quite similar: innuendo, and allegations, but zero evidence of any actual wrongdoing. He is a convenient scapegoat for feminist ire. These feminist lynch mobs are appalling. Prior to this experience, I naively supported feminism, mistaking it for women's rights. After this experience, I was hungry for answers and stumbled across the Fiamengo Files on youtube and it changed my life for the better.

I was 'red-pilled' watching those videos. I would say I am a conservative now, or at least a classical liberal. Witnessing the incredible damage caused by Leftism, on many fronts, changed me. I had not previously realized how it had altered my life and society in general so negatively, in so many ways.

I'm very sad to hear that feminist witch hunts have taken over the sciences, as well as the humanities. With #MeToo, it seems to have pervaded the whole of society. It's sad to see universities cave into the woke mob and the mass hysteria they drum up. What's needed is a huge backlash against it, at every level of society. Getting rid of or reforming Title IX in the U.S. -- and its equivalent in other Western schools -- would be a good start.
