Entirely agree. This is a terrible appointment. Ms Lhamon has not published much and I have not forced myself to read through all her previous Congressional testimony. That said, people who dealt with her during her previous time at the Department of Education report she justifies lowering standard of proof in campus sexual cases on the grounds that such alleged transgressions are “civil rights violations. “
Standards of proof were lowered during Civil Rights movement, properly in my view, in circumstances in which federal authorities sought to prosecute atrocities, e.g. murders of voter registration workers, and complicit local law enforcement had already destroyed evidence.
Analogy between such horrors and
encounters between young people, both likely addled by drink, would be risible if aftermath of “convictions” were not so devastating
This is bad law and worse politics. Embrace of radical feminist orthodoxy on “toxic masculinity” will continue to drive men of all races out of the Democratic Party
And, yes, I am a feminist in what I regard as best American tradition: “My rights and nothing more; my rights and nothing less.”

What of your duties?
Do my best to fulfill them. Suffragists sought civic responsibility
Good to hear. What are they?
