I saw this article the other day and wanted to post it here, because it shows an example of some men who are standing up for men's rights.
Apparently the government has instructed college campuses to start treating campus rapes like civil cases, instead of criminal cases. Meaning that they should only require a preponderance of evidence instead of beyond a reasonable doubt. So if the school thinks that there is a 51% that the rape was committed, then the (male) student is expelled.
Not surprisingly, under these new rules, allegations of sexual offenses are up, as are complaints about the way the schools have handled them. As are lawsuits filed by men suing the schools for the way they were treated.
This article tells of a young man who was two weeks away from graduating, but then was expelled because of a "he said/she said" violation. Police investigated the incident but did not charge him. He felt he earned a degree but the school took it from him. Understandably.
