I’d want it taken down too. We’ve all had nights where we drank too much. It’s part of college. And typically I laugh these kinds of articles off as the satire they’re meant to be. But this article is just a terrible representation of Greek life and embarrassing.
It must be so hard to be so unconfident in your looks that you need to make catty remarks about other women while hiding behind an anonymous picture. You poor thing.
Yeah I’m from the cape and babysit for a little boy in 2nd grade and they don’t allow it either! The school actually sent home an entire list of “healthy alternatives.” Super lame.
You’re right, it’s definitely not Matt’s fault, and it’s definitely not rape, but the author is in no way claiming that it is. I think what she’s saying is that a lot of times we feel like we can’t say no because we’ll be considered a “tease.” It’s happened to me before as well, and I obviously know that I was not a victim of rape. I think that girls regretting having sex and crying rape after the fact is a serious issue, and it is one that has been previously addressed on this site. But this is a different issue entirely. It’s just super uncomfortable because even though these guys aren’t forcing themselves on us at all, we don’t feel as if we can speak up because we feel some fucked up responsibility to have sex with them after doing other things with them. I recently had an encounter where a guy tried to get me to do certain things with him, and my response was “I don’t feel comfortable doing that since we just met, I’m really sorry.” But sorry for what? Why do we feel the need to apologize for not wanting to give a guy a blow job or have sex? People are so caught up with ending the use of words like “bitch” and “bossy”, but I think we should stop referring women to teases. I think that word does more damage because it’s what’s leading to these feelings of pressure to do things we’re uncomfortable with.
I completely agree with you in the sense that feminism means that we can choose to do any job we want, and that includes choosing to be a stay at home mom. There is nothing wrong with that, and it’s an admirable choice. The only problem I have with articles that defend being a stay at home mom is that they all seem to have a tone to them that implies that mothers who have full time jobs are somehow less than those that do choose to stay at home, and that’s simply not true. My mother worked full time and still accomplished all the things you described in the article above. So while I agree that the choice to stay at home is your prerogative, it doesn’t mean that I won’t be an equally amazing mother if I choose to have a career as well.
I LOVE this! I just graduated from nursing school and am currently preparing to take the Air Force Officer Qualifying Test. My friends and sorority sisters keep joking with me that I’m “too girly” to join, and I personally find it insulting. Who says you can’t be both? Thank you so much for writing this 🙂
You seem to be a little confused. This article, along with most of this site, is written using satire. In case you’re unaware of what that means, I’ve done you the favor of posting the definition below. (Although you should still invest in a dictionary, as you still think the word “retarded” is appropriate to use to show your disdain for something. That insult is so 2005. Do better next time.)
satire:
noun
1. the use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, or the like, in exposing, denouncing, or deriding vice, folly, etc.
2. a literary composition, in verse or prose, in which human folly and vice are held up to scorn, derision, or ridicule.
3. a literary genre comprising such compositions.
Being a mom is absolutely the hardest job in the world, and I’m glad that there are people that stick up for that. I hate hearing people say bad things about women who choose to be a stay-at-home mom. However, I don’t think it’s fair to say that children whose parents work don’t turn out as well as those whose parents worked full time. My mom has always worked 40 hours a week, but she has always been a full time mom as well. All her time Monday through Thursday after 5, and all day Friday, Saturday and Sunday, was spent with me. She is my absolute best friend and we have an amazing relationship. She did errands on her lunch breaks and during the weekend and cooked a healthy dinner every night. She would stay up with me all night if I was sick or just couldn’t sleep, and would still make it to work by 8am the next morning. So I absolutely understand where you’re coming from, but I think moms who work full time and are still full time parents should be just as appreciated, sometimes more.

Which brand of Ben wa balls did you use? …you know..asking for a friend.

This comment was almost funnier than the article itself. Almost. You “probably” need a hobby.

This hit so close to home that it actually made me cry. Thank you for writing this.
I think we now know who the butt-hurt one around here is..

This was perfect, thank you! 5OClock shaddow seems like the worst hookup ever, and an asshole.

No, but kocoum’s was, as well as every other Native American male character, so that’s probably a moot point.
How did you get your apps to look so pretty?!
