  I can't bring myself to look at the actual site, but here's a story I found about it:

  This makes me so fucking angry. I wish I could say I'm surprised by this, but somehow, I'm not. Yeah, men are really the victims here.

  The you're really going to be angry that DeVos and co. have included MRA groups into the conversation about Campus Rape.

  How sad everyone can't agree on some basic things like, "Sexual assault is a problem on college campuses.  Those crimes should be investigated and prosecuted.  Victims should be protected and heard."

  The "other side" talks about protecting people who have been wrongly accused.  Absolutely.  It is a terrible thing for someone to be truly wrongly accused of a heinous crime.

  According to Davidson, that is only the prettier outer shell.  She describes the National Coalition for Men as a "hate group", who outs and harasses victims of sexual assault. 

  But taking stances at face value, am I the only one who doesn't see where neither of these "sides" have anything to do with each other?  Victim advocacies don't want truly innocent people going to jail either.  They want real investigations, not a "show", for sexual assault crimes and they want victims to feel safe in coming forward.

  There is no debate.  Seriously.

  JFC. Kid Rock? I don't even know what his real name really is. And I literally don't care enough to spend 10 seconds googling it. 
  
  Did he think the White House was "dope" when he visited so now politics is for him? Or did he have a high-moment after he watched a super hero movie in his home theater where he thought he could really make a difference. 
  
  I'm really sick of this path from celebrity to politics that has been blazed over the last few years. People seem to be blurring fame with actual important shit. Knock it off America!

  I can't even with the "no one cares about your leftist celebrity opinion" people voting for damned celebrities because "they tell it like it is."  Although that does explain this survey (or vice versa):

  I think the article mentions that. So fucking stupid. We're literally losing progress across the board.
