Illustration accompanying Ricochet essay on misogyny in elite institutions

Erin Blondeau draws a line from the alleged 2024 Cornell fraternity assault to the Hockey Canada case, arguing both grow from the same soil: elite fraternities and sports teams that teach men to treat women as objects, inside institutions built to avoid accountability.

She also argues consent standards keep failing in practice, with survivors judged on their own conduct rather than the assault — a legacy of laws written to protect property rather than women.
