FEMINIST Prof. Accused/Suspended of Harassing Male. Fems Cry Foul. Claim TitleIX is a ‘Feminist Tool’. Not to be Used on Fems.
Somehow, when it comes to one of their own being accused of sexual harassment, some feminists discard their devotion to the #MeToo movement and blame the victim instead. Avital Ronnell, a leading professor of feminist philosophy at NYU, has been forced to take a year off after NYU determined that she had sexually harassed a male student. If there’s a stranger #MeToo story out there, I’ve yet to hear it. Ronnell identifies as a lesbian; the student she is accused of harassing is gay, and now married to another man. Also extraordinary: many well-known feminists leaped to her defense despite the fact that they admitted they had no knowledge about the findings of the Title IX proceedings against her. Feminist scholars that came to Ronnell’s defense, demanded she “receive a fair hearing.” (Fair hearings are rarely screamed for when the accused is male.) In this case, the gay male accuser, Nimrod Reitman, claimed that lesbian Prof. Ronnell pressured him into an amorous relationship. She would visit him at his home, climb into bed with him, and force him to kiss and touch her… One of Ronnell’s defenders, Prof. Diane Davis revealed a startling confession. Ms. Davis openly confessed that ‘she and her colleagues were particularly disturbed that, as they saw it, Mr. Reitman was using Title IX, a feminist tool, to take down a feminist.’
How can it be said that Title IX is really about ending gender-based discrimination, if it’s wrong to use Title IX to protect men from sexual harassment?
