Cornell gang-rape case sparks reckoning over MeToo's failures
Original: ‘Sadness, cynicism and deep disappointment’: the Cornell gang-rape case and the failure of # MeToo By Alaina Demopoulos
A Cornell University gang-rape case is drawing anger after the university and local police defended their treatment of the alleged perpetrators. Writer Alaina Demopoulos describes widespread feelings of 'sadness, cynicism and deep disappointment' among women who see the case as a familiar story and evidence that the MeToo movement has failed to change how sexual assault allegations are handled on campuses.
Why now: The university and police response to the case has reignited debate about whether MeToo actually changed institutional handling of sexual assault.
