针对康奈尔大学七名男子的指控，是在一种好斗的性别歧视氛围下发生的。
The allegations against seven men at Cornell University come amid a climate of belligerent sexism Last month, a young woman filed a lawsuit against Cornell University, alleging that two years ago the university had failed to protect her from being raped by seven men at a fraternity house near the university campus.
上个月，一名年轻女子对康奈尔大学提起诉讼，指控两年前大学未能保护她免受七名男子在大学校园附近兄弟会会所的强奸。她还起诉了该兄弟会。
She also sued the fraternity.
这起诉讼使大学陷入危机，并招致对地区检察官马修·范霍滕的批评，他决定证据不足以对这七名男子提起刑事指控。
The lawsuit has plunged the university into a crisis and invited criticism of the district attorney, Matthew Van Houten, who decided there wasn’t enough evidence to bring criminal charges against the seven men.
