The Reason piece is a commentary on an interview with Judge Bader Ginsburg in the Atlantic ; the full piece is here: https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2018/02/-/55340...

Probably the most important piece of that article starts with "Rosen: Is there any area for progress in the law and might your dissents in sexual-harassment cases be vindicated?".

I wasn't familiar with reason.com. Looked through a bit, it looks like it's a digital publication with a libertarian angle: https://reason.org/frequently-asked-questions/#q1 Not an issue per se, but good to know.

Why "not an issue per se" and not "not an issue at all"? There is a bit of subtle implication there.

Libertarians care a great deal about civil liberties so this perspective is also not a shock.

Kangaroo courts, plain and simple. Sacrificing innocent people to get more of the guilty ones when evidence is flimsy.

Not even a court. Pretty much you have to prove that you didn't rape her 14 months ago. Of course she reported it this late because she was ashamed or whatever. Meanwhile, your life is ruined. Sex is not like a dishwasher you can return within 30 days if you regret it later.

I have a feeling that a lot of these actresses knew what they exactly what were doing. They made a bet, and now they want to blame the other side 100%.

Likewise. David Koch sits on the Board of Trustees, which should give you a good indication of what Reason might promote. More background: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reason_Foundation

Libertarians have a very conflicted position with respect to civil liberties. For them freedom of association often trumps access to markets. This has created a weird pseudo-alliance between Libertarians and those who would limit access to markets based on genetic attributes. The Libertarians tend to downplay this fact, but not to the point of generally preferring market access over freedom of association.
