Sexual Harassment Through the Feminist Ideological Lens
by Stephen M Krason, Crisis Magazine:
Previously in this publication I raised serious questions about whether sexual harassment is the crisis that some have alleged. The first problem—which the “#MeToo” movement and feminists in general never seem to address—is what is meant by the term. At times, they seem to conflate it with outright sexual assault; at other times it seems to include even something like uninvited comments. My writing about it, which has not been extensive, and the articles by my Franciscan University of Steubenville faculty colleague Anne Hendershott about the “guilty until proven innocent” stance taken on American campuses toward young men accused of sexual misconduct toward women under Title IX, resulted in some left-leaning, feminist alumni of Franciscan vigorously attacking us in print and through the Internet. There have been good, revealing responses to these attacks, probably most prominently by Austin Ruse in Crisis. Among other things, Ruse exposed the fact that one article in the National Catholic Reporter, known for decades for its attacks on Catholic orthodoxy, was apparently part of a journalistic effort (funded by George Soros’s Open Society Foundation) to attack orthodox Catholic higher education institutions.
I will not repeat here the responses of Ruse and others. Rather, I focus on a few critical points in these attacking articles that highlight the basic beliefs of these Catholic supporters of the “#MeToo” movement and their serious implications.
