Feminist Emily Lindin Doesn't Care if Men Lose their Jobs over False Allegations
 [Victory Girls] Emily Lindin is a Harvard graduate, a documentary director, a PhD candidate, a Teen Vogue columnist, a suicide prevention specialist, and the author of Unslut ‐ a middle school memoir in which she tells her story through her own diary entries of being labeled a slut at age 11.On Tuesday, Ms. Lindin tweeted this: Here's an unpopular opinion: I'm actually not at all concerned about innocent men losing their jobs over false sexual assault/harassment allegations. ‐ Emily Lindin (@EmilyLindin) November 21, 2017 As she sort of already knew, this was quite an unpopular opinion. So after a couple of hours of being schooled on why this is opinion was so bad, she then tweeted this: I guess this is why people announce threads. I am definitely interested in nuancing around this point (re: how it works on campuses, race, other factors) ‐ Thanks to those of you who are doing that. https://t.co/jlO1cV0wvM ‐ Emily Lindin (@EmilyLindin) November 21, 2017 She was then schooled on how "nuancing" was not a word, and even if it was, she needed to admit that she was backtracking. She admitted that she had "missed a few layers" but denied that she was moving off of her position. Click through to the thread to see more. This is just sad: A young woman can be so educated and yet have such an entitlement mentality that she can still be so unaware of how attitudes like this do nothing to correct real problems. She’s advocating a position exactly opposite of what our legal social contract promises ‐ due process. Without attention to the rights of an accused, all order falls apart. It does not matter if the accused is guilty or innocent, that is to be determined at a later time through a fairly applied process. Without due process guarantees nobody is safe. Do you hear that Emily? Yes, even your protections under the law are subject to the whim of whoever is in power. Shouldn’t the fact that Donald Trump is president alert you to the dangers of doing away with these protections ‐ your party is not guaranteed to forever be in power?!
