Feminist cleared of wrong-doing in Northwestern University

Laura Kipnis wrote an essay condemning the "sexual paranoia" of some feminists and students. Kipnis, a feminist herself, was then condemned by mattress-toting Protester students for causing a "chilling effect" against students' willingness to report rape. http://jezebel.com/feminist-students-protest-feminist-prof-for-writing-abo-1707714321

Today we learn that the charges just failed https://mobile.twitter.com/laurakipnis/status/605032221494374400

"Safe spaces" and "trigger warnings" have created a generation of crybaby, hypersensitive, politically correct students.
