I am a feminist. I have marched at the barricades, subscribed to Ms. magazine, and knocked on many a door in support of progressive candidates committed to women's rights. Until a month ago, I would have expressed unqualified support for Title IX and for the Violence Against Women Act.



But that was before my son, a senior at a small liberal-arts college in New England, was charged—by an ex-girlfriend—with alleged acts of "non-consensual sex" that supposedly occurred during the course of their relationship a few years earlier.



What followed was a nightmare.







Really, you just figured that one out now? You heard about it, you didn't look into it, you supported false accusations by been quiet, and promoted the destruction of good men by looking the other way.

And now that it happened to your son, you just realized, something is wrong?

And now you want us to be sensitive to your plight?

Guess what, we have been yelling it out for years, and you called us misogynists, now you want our understanding?

First, we told you so...

Second, we are not haters like the feminists you associated with, so sure, we will put your story online and show support, you go out there and tell everyone what feminism has really done to our families, to our society, to good men, to fathers, to husbands, and especially...your son.

Third, were not doing it for you....... but for your son.
