Considering how far-left student newspapers are, I was surprised editors of Ohio University’s even allowed this to be published. Read Ashley Herzog’s column here.

Here is a portion:

Before Ohio moves on from the Marc Dann scandal, we should all reflect on one lesson it taught us: While Dann is certainly a creep, the woman he had an adulterous affair with is just as certainly not a victim.

Of course, that isn’t how the usual cast of feminists and sexual-harassment racketeers see it. Shortly after the scandal broke, Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Connie Schultz weighed in with a column titled “There’s No Equal Footing in Sex with the Boss.” As she wrote, “Jessica Utovich is virtually half Dann’s age, has a smidgen of his higher education, earned about a third of his income and was employed at his mercy.” This was supposed to explain why Utovich was incapable of rejecting Dann’s sexual advances.

No one has disputed that Utovich’s affair with Dann was consensual. Nor is she a child who was being exploited by an older man. She is a 28-year-old adult who had a job in the Ohio Attorney General’s office. And yet, because of a “lack of parity” with Dann (as Schultz put it), she is now being portrayed as his victim.

This is the catch-22 that feminists — at least the ones who complain endlessly about “sexual harassment” — have created for young, working women. On one hand, they argue that women are just as smart, capable and professional as men, and therefore deserve equal career opportunities. On the other hand, they tell us that women are so easily manipulated by men that they can’t be expected to say “no” to sex with their male bosses.[...]

If gender equality on the job is really what we want, we can’t excuse the behavior of adult women who willingly engage in sex with their coworkers or married bosses, in clear violation of workplace rules. Men like Marc Dann are held responsible for their actions. Let’s hold women like Jessica Utovich responsible for theirs.

I’m glad to see Mrs. Sherrod Brown’s marxist feminism taken to task by a bright young female who is just about to graduate from OU’s school of journalism. Ashley clearly has her head on straight, which may automatically disqualify her from finding a job with the Ohio MSM.
