Wrong on rape

I was appalled this Sunday to see the headline "What campus rape crisis?" pop up on my newsfeed, especially when I realized it came from a major news source. I am grateful to The Times for the opportunity to respond to Heather MacDonald's rehash of author Katie Roiphe's discredited attacks on studies of rape on college campuses, although I question why such an outdated and deliberately misleading piece was published in the first place.
