Cooper continued, “When I started thinking about who could help us understand this moment, who could answer some questions and help us understand where we go from here, I immediately thought of today’s guest.

Before the Unveil Network founder began his interview with Manne, 43, he also commented how the investigation, which began following a complaint by an anonymous alumnus (aka Jane Doe) in New York City on September 16 following an alleged October 2024 fraternity party incident involving seven Chi Phi brothers, should not exist today.

“We’re talking about campus rape, consent [and] The ways institutions fail women for even longer. We’ve got the language. We have the research, we have the tools and resources to understand sexual violence, help victims, and prevent it from happening, and yet we’re still having the same conversations,” Cooper said. “It’s exhausting. And more importantly, it is infuriating.”
She also said that Jane Doe’s allegations “hold the weight of the countless stories we have as women”, before detailing their enormity.
“The stories of our friends, of our sisters, of our mothers, of our grandmothers, and so many of us, our own stories. And right now one of those stories … is forcing the nation to pay attention,” Cooper said. “More than one in five women have experienced rape. So every one of us knows a Jane Doe. Many of us have been Jane Does.”
Manne’s interview largely condemned the allegations, with the professor at one stage summing up, “For the record, I believe Jane Doe.”
