It begins by contrasting the past, where the &#8220;battle of the sexes&#8221; was a lighthearted challenge showcasing women&#8217;s capabilities, wiht today\u2019s more unfriendly and divisive confrontations, exemplified by cases like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/german-girl-15-raped-by-nearly-a-dozen-migration-background-men-for-hours\/\" title=\"Ger...

She emphasizes the importance of personal responsibility, forgiveness, and self-respect, advocating for women to examine their own actions before blaming men.The piece critiques modern feminism and media narratives that portray women as perpetual victims, arguing that this infantilizes women and fosters a culture of blame rather than accountability. It warns that denying women\u2019s capacity for misconduct and overemphasizing male blame harms societal cohesion, calling for honest self-assessment among women and men alike to restore balance and genuine justice in gender relations.Jennifer Galardi concludes by highlighting her background as a health and culture writer and her commitment to promoting responsibility and integrity.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/caruzo-take-it-from-venezuela-no-inflation-is-not-good\/\" title=\"Caruzo \u2013 Take It from Venezuela: No, Inflation Is Not Good\">time long ago<\/a> and a land far away, the \u201cbattle of the sexes\u201d was often a lighthearted exchange to prove feminist theories that women could do anything a man could do, \u201conly better,\u201d even if it were not true.\u00a0Today, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/athletic\/live-blogs\/battle-of-the-sexes-live-updates-sabalenka-kyrgios-score-result\/j91k3mHtctzj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">playful battle<\/a> has turned into a bitter and bloody war against men.<\/p>\n<p>The Cornell 7 and alleged \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.msn.com\/en-us\/news\/other\/alleged-gang-rape-at-cornell-turns-spotlight-on-campus-sexual-assault\/ar-AA2devJM?ocid=BingNewsSerp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">gang rape<\/a>\u201d case is the culmination of almost a century of feminist indoctrination that elevated women as infallible and beyond reproach, all while trampling men on their way to break the glass ceiling.<\/p>\n<p>No one is disputing that the young gentlemen\u2019s behavior at Cornell was repugnant. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=vdh21IKT2h4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">so was Jane Doe\u2019s<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>What do you expect when you go to a frat house after 11 p.m., already drunk and agreeing to more drugs, looking to have sex with a boy? Yes, this could have, and should have, gone differently, but the fact that it didn\u2019t shouldn\u2019t surprise anyone. Jane Doe\u2019s story isn\u2019t unique. What\u2019s unique is the current culture in which women\u2019s empowerment is defined by the abandonment of virtue.<\/p>\n<p>I was once Jane Doe, as I suspect many young girls have been: a young, insecure, freshman desperately seeking the attention of a sophomore football player. One night, I intentionally wore a provocative outfit for a themed sorority party. I got drunk. Very drunk. And I walked to said sophomore\u2019s fraternity house late at night. <\/p>\n<p>A few random boys were hanging out in the basement. Lucky for me, they behaved more like gentlemen than the boys at Cornell. I stumbled to the object of my affection\u2019s room. I don\u2019t need to expound on what happened. His roommate was in the bunk above us.<\/p>\n<p>I was mortified. I was unsure. I was confused. But I <em>did not leave<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>I knew it wasn\u2019t right, but I thought having sex with this man would make him love me. I purposefully drank enough to numb the doubts and fears I felt. Like Jane Doe, I pursued the very thing I later came to deeply regret. Like her, I <em>wanted<\/em> it even though it would devastate and define me for years to come.<\/p>\n<p>It would happen again, with another young man. Same intent. Same behavior. Worse outcome.<\/p>\n<p>At one point, many years later, during the height of the #metoo movement, I thought about using these stories to further the feminist cause and persecute a man I believed had committed sexual assault. Men must be held accountable for taking advantage of young women, I thought, no matter how long after the fact. They simply cannot get away with it. The patriarchy must be dismantled.<\/p>\n<p>However, I barely remembered what had happened all those years ago. The details are fuzzy. Was I drugged? Maybe, but I was also heavily intoxicated. What leg did I have to stand on? What good would it do to drudge up the past and potentially ruin a man\u2019s life?<\/p>\n<p>What I had to do was deal with my own shame, sadness, and deep insecurity. I had to not only repent and ask God for forgiveness for my behavior, but also take responsibility for it and change it. I had to value myself and my body. No lawsuit, no writing a letter to the university (which I did), and no amount of blaming others would make me whole. Only Jesus could do that.<\/p>\n<p>It is my hope that Jane Doe and other women do the same to examine their own behaviors and beliefs before solely condemning men.<\/p>\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AFpost\/status\/2096289830993018904?s=20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">data from Survey Center on American Life<\/a>, a good majority of liberal women blame men for their problems (and all of society\u2019s problems too). Despite the multitude of facts that prove women really <a href=\"https:\/\/healearth.substack.com\/p\/66-of-young-liberal-women-blame-men\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have nothing to complain about<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Rather than admit that the sexual revolution and the freedom it promised didn\u2019t pan out exactly how they envisioned, women now must point the finger at someone else for their discontent, self-loathing, and unhappiness. The obvious scapegoat is men.<\/p>\n<p>With help from Hollywood, the media, and <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2026\/09\/28\/us-news\/aoc-unloads-on-cornell-over-claims-it-let-off-students-accused-of-gang-rape-with-slap-on-wrist-these-are-norms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">progressive politicians<\/a>, women have been reduced to victims of male behavior, which is ironic after decades of feminist claims that women are empowered to do and be anything they want. However, no matter what shape feminism takes in the modern era, its consistency lies in the perception of women as the superior sex who can do no wrong.<\/p>\n<p>Modern leftist women hold men to impossible standards while failing to take responsibility for, at this point, almost anything, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/video\/6406117616112?msockid=1a9594911cfd6261271581631da163b3\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">murder<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A culture that refuses to acknowledge women\u2019s capacity for transgression does not protect women; it infantilizes them. It also makes fairness impossible when serious accusations and conflicting accounts enter public debate.<\/p>\n<p>The status quo between the sexes is untenable. Beyond declining fertility rates, this war is soul-crushing. It transforms grace, forgiveness, and responsibility into rage, blame, and depravity.<\/p>\n<p>There are bad men out there who, hopefully, will be punished for real crimes. But there are also bad women who have gotten away with injustices for decades. I suggest Jane Doe, and every woman looking to blame men for their problems, take a long, hard, and honest look in the mirror.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>      Jennifer Galardi spent decades as a health and wellness expert and writes about health, culture, and policy.
