I am NOT 'Jane Doe'

The Women of the Internet are at it again with their misplaced empathy. In all likelihood, you have seen people posting videos of themselves in tears, with “I am Jane Doe” endlessly decorating these captions. And, from one woman to another, I will not be identifying with this unnamed girl, and neither should you.

Let’s back up to that day in October 2024. What exactly happened at Cornell University that night that has taken the internet by storm? On the night of the incident, 20-year-old “Jane Doe” became visibly intoxicated from excessive vodka consumption at her sorority house. While in this state, this student headed out to bars with her friends to continue drinking, despite being underage and the bartenders being aware of this fact.

Close to midnight, after barhopping for a couple of hours, she left the bar alone and entered a fraternity house with the intention of seeing a friend. The lawsuit says she had consumed approximately 10 drinks in just hours, yet was given beer at the party. At this point, she decided to consensually become a part of a threesome at the suggestion of the friend she had gone to see.

At this point, the narrative becomes slightly unclear, but it would seem that, in the midst of the sexual degeneracy, they were doing drugs, notably ketamine. Sometime during this behavior, an additional four men had been with her that evening, with the fraternity sending messages in their group chat about her being available to be with.

The next morning, “Jane Doe” had sent messages to multiple of the men she’d been with, saying that she enjoyed what had occurred the night prior. And yet, after some time, she filed a complaint, which was deemed not to have enough information to make a ruling on whether assault had taken place or not.

So, how does this cloudy account bring us to 2026? In recent days, this situation has risen to internet infamy after the case was reopened, and there are now lawsuits against this Ivy League school, for which we do not currently have enough information to classify them as anything more than baseless allegations.

While I understand the mindset of this empathy toward a woman who has suffered such harm, I do not believe this is someone that women should claim to identify with. There are men and women who are victims of assault just by simply existing in the wrong place at the wrong time. Yes, it could be any of us. Yes, I stand for them. Rapists should be executed, swiftly, publicly.

However, I will not identify myself with a girl who went out of her way to put herself in a compromising position: drinking heavily, doing drugs, entering a space where there were men also extremely intoxicated, and consensually engaging with multiple sexual partners. Instead of acknowledging one’s own wrongdoing, we blame everyone and everything besides ourselves.

This girl was failed by her parents, by her (fake) friends, and by the Ivy League college that brainwashes vulnerable young adults into such degenerate behavior.

Men value what they are required to fight for. Of course, you won’t be valued if you give up your body for empty pleasure. So, women, I’m imploring you: don’t sell yourselves cheap for worldly satisfaction. You’ll only be left with a God-shaped hole in your heart. You are worth more than anything this world offers. Walk worthy of your calling, and act with dignity.

This is what happens when you take virtue out of higher education.

This is what happens when you praise sexual promiscuity.

This is what happens when Gen Z refuses to take accountability for their actions.

And for these reasons, I am not “Jane Doe.”
