ANALYSIS: TRUE. The ‘Cornell 7’ Fallout Is Infantilized Women And Villainized Men

Another quote comes from Doe’s lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, who I’m half-convinced actually hates his client, given how absurd his arguments made on her behalf are. He told the Times that it was incumbent upon literally anyone but Doe to have ensured she never left the Tri Delta sorority house that night. “Somebody should have said: ‘Hey, no, you’re intoxicated. You’re not, you shouldn’t be going outside. It’s not safe,’” he said. “And that failed.” Doe reportedly said in investigation proceedings after the incident that she hid her intoxication from an authority figure at the sorority house that night. “I didn’t want to tell her I was drunk because she’s a mandated reporter,” she said, according to the Times.

So if she was hiding it, how is anyone supposed to stop her? And if they had tried and she insisted that she be let go to leave the house, then what? A sorority house isn’t a prison. (Though maybe it should be.) The only logical conclusion is that women, at least young ones, can’t be trusted to take care of themselves and therefore shouldn’t be permitted to attend college without a chaperone.
