“… There is quite an interesting percentage which represents crime against men.

“… And yet, boorish behavior similar to Ansari’s—behavior that most pundits say they consider gross but not criminal, at least in Ansari’s case—is routinely investigated as sexual misconduct on university campuses. Ansari is lucky he’s not a college student; otherwise he could have been accused months or a year after the incident, investigated by a lone administrator with sole power to decide which witnesses to interview, called before a hearing to answer charges he does not fully understand, forbidden from consulting a lawyer or cross-examining his accuser, found responsible for sexual misconduct under a preponderance of the evidence standard, and expelled from campus as required by Title IX, the federal statute that mandates gender equality in schools. …”
