quote:
Because rape and sexual harassment can damage a young
woman's life at worst and limit her opportunities at best,
students on college campuses have been educating their peers
about the impact of violence against women. At schools across
the country, feminist activists are speaking out about date rape,
the use of Rohypnol (the "date rape drug"), women's health and
safety on campus, and the typically weak response of college
officials to the issue.

Sadly, anti-women's rights groups have responded with an attack
on what they call "victimology" feminism by spreading
misinformation to college students. "Take Back the Campus" is a
well-funded propaganda campaign initiated last spring and
designed to halt any progress toward preventing and punishing
violence and to discourage young women from becoming
feminists. The campaign even calls campus feminism "kind of a
cult."
