Hold on to your seats, people. James Taranto has some more thoughts on sexual assault.
.
The Wall Street Journal columnist's latest effort on Monday focused on what he sees as a double standard of sex offenses on college campuses.
.
Working off a piece in the New York Times, Taranto highlighted an incident last year at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, where a young man named Matt Martel prevented his intoxicated male friend from sleeping with a drunk female student. The young woman thanked Martel the next day, which apparently left Taranto baffled.
.
    The question arises here: Whom exactly did Martel save from danger? The answer is quite possibly both the young woman and his friend. Had she awakened the next day feeling regretful and violated, she could have brought him up on charges and severely disrupted his life. Both of them were taking foolish risks, and it seems likely that he as well as she had impaired judgment owing to excessive drinking.
.
Taranto just doesn't think men and women - physical disparities, be damned - should be treated differently in such cases if both parties are drunk.
