A very delicate subject handled with delicacy. This is very much a spiritual problem as well as a secular one. Having said that, having been a British visitor over many years to some wonderful American campuses I have to say that the whole fraternity system stinks and is asking for trouble. Many of my best students here and in the USA over the past 29 years have been Independents who have not touched this disgustingly decadent culture with long barge poles. Fraternities are an institution whose time has surely gone whatever the truths or otherwise of events at Cornell.
I do not understand the christians whose reaction to cornell 7 is to critique “secular ideology”, especially when the past decade has only revealed the rampant levels of sexual abuse in the SBC, ACNA, Catholic church and UMC.
There are two kinds of people who stay sick. Those who know they are sick but refuse to take their medicine, and those who don’t know they’re sick at all. Both groups are in a bad way, but you wouldn’t talk to them the same
This analogy might work, if churches really start to hold ppl accountable, but I do think you should add an epilogue to the piece discussing SA within churches. It’s too big of a problem and an obvious counterargument to your piece.
Maybe a part 2: is there a Christian remedy for rape culture?
Because theologically you’re totally right but practically we are not doing anyyy better. Why is that?

"But practically we are not doing any better."
Is that true?
