So the end has arrived for the academic side of this whole issue, but legal side continues, and probably for some time.

Columbia Student Emma Sulkowicz Brings Rape Protest Mattress to Graduation - NBC News

A Columbia University student who carried a mattress around the campus all year to raise awareness of sexual assault graduated Tuesday — with her mattress in tow.

Emma Sulkowicz, who says she was raped on her first day of her sophomore year, brought the mattress with her as she walked across the stage during the ceremony. The audience applauded.

Sulkowicz says the case against her alleged abuser was dismissed and he was allowed to remain enrolled at the school. As part of her senior thesis, a performance art project called "Carry That Weight," the visual arts major said she would carry the mattress everywhere she went on campus for as long as she attended the same school as her alleged rapist.

The police found nothing, Columbia found nothing, all the other accusations against the guy turned up baseless, and yet she was paraded around by a who's who of the progressive left.

It's telling that the accused isn't suing HER, but the University.

Very courageous young woman.

The issue of rape is just one more area where the right is moving backward in time.

Considering the evidence shows no evidence of this being a rape, the only people moving backwards is your side, by making real rape cases have to deal with this bull.

Being scorned, or being regretful over a sexual encounter(s) is not rape.

Now that this deranged harpy has graduated.

She will have to discard her beloved mattress and seek employment in the real world.

Problem is.......who would want to hire this lunatic bitch? .......
