It’s kind of weird.

When college girls get drunk, have sex, and don’t consider themselves rape victims afterward, to the Left that’s a rape crisis.

When a famous director gives a 13-year-old girl alcohol and quaaludes, she still says no to his sexual advances, he proceeds anyway, and then he flees the country to escape punishment, to the Left that’s no big deal.

(Not to generalize, of course. Some on the left, including Ezra Klein, have come out against Polanski. And you can read here an apparently liberal writer’s take-down of various Polanski defenses.)
