George Will defends rape column, saying critics don’t take rape seriously and maybe can’t read

Columnist George Will defended a controversial piece he wrote earlier this month on college sexual assault, claiming he took the issue more seriously than his critics.

The Washington Post columnist and Fox News contributor argued in the column that college administrators promoted victimhood and extended “coveted status” to victims of sexual assault.

Will claimed his critics didn’t take rape seriously enough because they encouraged universities to investigate sexual assault claims.

“I take sexual assault more seriously than I think they do, because I agree that society has correctly said that rape is second only to murder as a serious felony,” he said. “Therefore, when someone is accused of rape, it should be reported to the criminal justice system that knows how to deal with this – not with jerry-built, improvised campus processes.”

There are consequences for shooting your mouth off about something you know nothing about.

So then I'm right about being wrong.
