the meaning of seppuku and how it is accomplished?

William F. Buckley shakes his head and sighs in his grave.

Broken by the fact that not a fuck was given by anyone about his intimate lunches with Nancy Reagan 30 years and more in the past . . .

Tragic. Like something out of Thomas Mann . . . . but no, he's too lively and snappy an author to bear comparison with the airless, mothballed nature of Carlson The Elder.

"Unfortunately, the downside to this – there’s a downside in everything – is among the barriers to entry that have been reduced is you don’t have to be able to read, write, or think, you can just come in and shout and call names and carry on."

Thus explaining the fact that he has a nationally syndicated column.

a hole of his own creation?

No added co-morbidities like Classism and Racism that take priority over Violence and Misogyny against women, which tends to set off argument among Good Liber[strike ]tarianals, .

No, this is pure misogyny in its elemental form. A true symmetrical comparison--- these college women are the Best and the Brightest, just like these college men: Best and Brightest.

Yet, compare the reflexive, unquestioned fear that ASSUMES that any report of rape endangers possibly innocent shining young men, regardless of well-researched data showing a large significant majority of college men admit to a willingness to rape if they knew they wouldn't be caught------

Compare that default image in the mind of Mr. Will, the Great Conservative Thinker, with the easy, reflexive assumption he harbors, which is that Women Lie.

These young women, truly just as bright, as human, and as valuable as the young men, are, according to Will's assumptions, liars. Not bright, promising people whose bright future deserves to be guarded.

No, he holds and publicly reinforces the debunked assumption that any of these Best and Brightest young college woman who report rape are actually Opportunistic Lying Trollops commiting the automatically suspicious, unforgivable, man-hating act of claiming victimhood.

Quite interesting contrast in expectations, there. Yes, very VERY interesting.

I know the potential for the usual suspects, but you made some very important points that deserve wider attention.)

Rape is a crime, and should be reported to authorities. Asking businesses to handle it instead (because that is what schools are) minimizes it.

If authorities aren't handling things correctly, we need to fix that. But anyone minimizing rape as a normal part of the college experience ---

ARGH!!!
