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.

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

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?!
There’s a reason it’s an unpopular opinion: It’s neither intelligent nor moral. https://t.co/ZohDrMyZt7

It is important that we listen to every allegation, but simply making an allegation does not require that we believe it without scrutiny. Other factors will come into play as to whether each allegation is credible, and while we would not formally be concerned with burdens of proof since we are not in a court of law, the same concerns still apply. People still face consequences in the public realm even if there are no legal consequences. We should be equally as concerned with those consequences no matter the forum of discussion.
Here's your nuance: It's called due process. Look it up, for the sake of equality. https://t.co/ftUIxENcee

Bringing down public square consequences on innocent men should be a concern for women who are desperate to punish men. Are they seeking to group all men under one black cloud of suspicion, or do they conceive of a world where good men do exist? Without acknowledging that all men are not predators, and the hard truth that we must live in a world that includes men, these feminists will forever be unfulfilled in their crusade. They have not provided a way they can win this argument. It is a perpetual blame-fest, and likely one where they fully understand that it gives them grievances in perpetuity.
Even more sad than this one lost soul, is that attitudes like this are common among third wave feminists. They have surpassed a message of equality and instead carry a message of thinly veiled power and superiority. This is the same problem with most protest movements, and ultimately why they are rejected. No one is going to listen to a position that attacks their own integrity. These feminists advocate for a win-lose position – and they are not shy about letting that be known. The only thing I can say in their favor is that at least they are no longer hiding their true motives.
In other words, Emily has just announced to the world that she’d rather do this: ‘HI! I’m a suicide prevention specialist! How can I help? Oh? You are a guy accused of sexual misconduct, have lost your job, and are contemplating suicide? Sucks to be you.’ *Click
Instead of this: ‘How can I help?’ And set her political feminist SJW crap aside and work her butt off to talk the guy off the ledge.
The slightest hurt feelings can now deprive a man of his income or educational opportunity.
I know male managers that wear recording devices all day at work, won’t be alone with a woman at work, won’t mentor a woman at work.
I saw on reddit in the 2xC sub that a woman got a man fired for “harassment”. He wasn’t arrested so how bad could it have been/ no crime was committed. Anyhow he got a better job at a different company and she wanted to know the best way to let his new company know that he harassed her. She wants to make sure he never can work again! Hell hath no fury…
She appointed herself to make sure this man can’t eat.
For the women that have sons , you should be very afraid of what their lives will be like in ten years.
And if she’s going to do that, forever, and the legal system is set up to protect her from consequences when she does, what exactly does the man have to lose by killing her?
The due process system is in place precisely so that people have an alternative to bloodfeud. She is contributing to its’ removal, and the results will be disastrous. For her.
Good post. I sometimes wonder if some of these feminists have a lack of men in their lives (brothers, fathers, sons, etc) which allows them to be so detached with reality (daddy issues / angry about past dealings with boyfriends?). Its almost sad that legions of young women are indoctrinated into their ideology and talking points without truly understand how the world works. Thankfully intelligent/sane women do exist (Jenny included). I won’t be a conservative anytime soon but I appreciate my conservative brothers/sisters for giving me a place to stay when things get crazy 🙂
john, you will probably never read this. however, ive been in this very place for some time now. Soon after university I’d let go of marxism and the like. Then into my late twenties and early 30s I had an even further move away from socialism lite. Now, I’m not sure where I am at 34 because the political landscape is so perverse, but I have a similar issue to you. If I have to call myself something I’ll call myself a liberal and point to classical liberal theory – which now means im alt right i suppose *eye roll*. In the end, the best lesson learned was that I have no label and I go where reason, compassion and pragmatics take me.
If Emily had paid attention in 7th grade social studies, she would have understood the concept of “due process”. All that schooling to get to PhD level, and yet so little education. Money pissed away. Poor girl.
Has anyone contacted her employer to find out why she still has a job?
Timmy, it’s Teen Vogue. Her employers believe the same things she does. If she gets fired, it will be for violating OPSEC.
So she gets to continue to brainwash young girls…
part of her 5th grade diary is at : http://zestbooks.net/unslut/
it’s actually pretty good for a 5th grader however it seems she is still reliving that – the book includes her post college annotations explaining her 5th grade comments — I shutter to think what I would be like if I was obsessed with my 5th grade thoughts.
I appreciate that you pity her, but I don’t. She had all the advantages in life it appears or at least was able to take what life gave her and obtain a very high credential. And then what? She displays ignorance, arrogance, self-absorption and misandry, which is hateful. The combination of these personal characteristics does not engender pity in me, but rather intense dislike and disdain. As a woman I think my worst nightmare would be a world full of women like her, to raise a daughter who would be a woman like her, for my son to marry a woman like her, to work for a woman like her or be compelled to interact with a woman like her in my occupation or social circles. Her worldview cannot be redeemed and she will live a life of misery because she is hateful.
You’re living in that nightmare already. The only questions are when will you realize that you can’t live in the same civil society as people like her? and what are you prepared to do about it?
I agree, that is how the world is today. But there is a backlash coming. 70% of men 18 to 34 are not married. That has never happened before. Men don’t want to entangle themselves with those kind of women, which are most women these days…
I disagree with you Timmy. It is true that Univ gender studies programs are full of people like Pam describes. It is true that there are some non profit, corporate and government offices which are dominated by the same. Its also true that some men don’t marry because of the negative vibes they get when their dates mouth this sort of nonsense. However, the high rate of non marriage has lots of other causes. For example the erosion of middle class jobs (especially for men without college degrees) and the availability of non committal sex probably account for the largest effect and there are various other causes.
I will very politely reply you’re FOS.
As a man, who has been married for 37 years, and has two daughters, and has worked at places where more than 50% of the employees are women, I offer this advice. I might also add it is very biblical.
Christ said to his Apostles “I am sending you out like sheep among wolves. Therefore be as shrewd as snakes and as innocent as doves. – Matthew 10:16
Having said that, here is a video every man needs to watch.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vwbKYcBdVyk
William Roper: So, now you give the Devil the benefit of law!
Sir Thomas More: Yes! What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
William Roper: Yes, I’d cut down every law in England to do that!
Sir Thomas More: Oh? And when the last law was down, and the Devil turned ’round on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws, from coast to coast, Man’s laws, not God’s! And if you cut them down, and you’re just the man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake!
Robert Bolt, A Man for All Seasons
Gosh, I feel sorry for someone who has a moral compass so warped as to be so insensitive. Actually I don’t feel sorry for her, I pity her for such ignorance. She must have had a father that really put her down and made her insecure and spiteful.
Fuck this cunt
