“Cracking”, “smashing”, and “beating that shit up” are all rape culture language because consensual sex demands mutual enthusiasm and these words doesn’t reflect that

A lot of men are saying the Cornell woman has no proof.
Congrats, you've figured out the big problem with rape cases: Unlike most other crimes, there often simply isn't much proof beyond the woman's word.
If a person is mugged, no one's gonna argue they voluntarily gave up their wallet.
If a person gets assaulted, no one's gonna say they were into that.
But dudes text other guys "Free pussy" & "You can just whip your dick out"?
People are gonna argue she was into it even if she says she wasn't.
And I freely admit false rape accusations exist. I don't pretend they don't.
But how on earth is a woman supposed to prove rape if her word isn't enough & all too often, the crime scene of consensual sex looks the exact same as rape?
The answer is she usually doesn't.
Less than 4% of reported rapes, sexual assaults, & child sex abuse allegations in the US ever result in a sex crime conviction.
This % doesn't surprise me at all, cuz not a single woman I know who's been raped had her accuser go to jail :/

On the *same day* the Cornell Seven drugged and raped Jane Doe, Cornell banned four students (including the President of Cornell @jvplive) from campus for three years for nonviolent, pro-Palestine protests. The same @Cornell officials let the rapists off with apology essays.

🚨: Mexican scientist Eva Ramon has successfully eliminated Human Papilloma Virus (HPV) in 29 patients!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The sensational claim recycles 2019 results from a small pilot study on experimental photodynamic therapy; HPV cleared in 100% of cases without lesions among the 29 women but only 64.3% with lesions (57.2% for lesions alone).
