Eva Marie said...: Hated the vocal fry but from my perspective this is a great story.
In my day, rather than be traumatized by the event, this young woman would be proud of herself. She was tested and she passed with flying colors. This experience, rather than hobbling her, would have strengthened her. She doesn’t say what action the EMTs took but it looks like the college took appropriate action. She was a sober monitor and took very appropriate action - maybe she should have called 911 there at the frat party. It’s just a shame she’s so fragile.; 10/6/26, 10:55 AM
Mal said...: view from *A* sober monitor. had to get most of the way into the video to learn she had nothing to do with THE story du jour. not that the video isn't worth watching, but do we really need click-bait titles from our most beloved hostess?; 10/6/26, 10:57 AM
ChrisC said...: I actually agree with her completely. My feeling after the George Floyd incident is that the one place that needed to be burned down was the Minneapolis City Hall. The mayor and city council were responsible for their police and if people are mad at how the police are conducting themselves, that should be your target. This incident is on Cornell. They are mostly responsible for letting drug and alcohol fueled orgies take place on their campus. I urge the lefty rioters to burn the place to the ground.; 10/6/26, 10:58 AM

Peachy+2 said...: We are so groomed to be scared sheep. Stand up proud against bad behavior.
I think of times in my life where I lost my nerve and I didn't follow thru with "doing the right thing."
(a bonus to doing the right thing - is good sleep)
Perhaps we need classes on how to be courageous.; 10/6/26, 11:02 AM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: "The EMTs showed up." Who called them? Shouldn't she have? That'd be the story, she was a sober monitor, saw a woman in distress, got her the help she needed. Doesn't seem scary!
The school took proper disciplinary action, it sounds like. The fraternity imposed a social cost on her sorority, unjustly it seems, but the consequence to her was...what?
"Greek life needs to be shut down permanently." Your sorority needs to be shut down why exactly? The totality of her "greek life" experience was so bad and "scary" that she wants to ensure no other young people are subjected to it?

These kids and their lust for "trauma," man. It's sad.; 10/6/26, 11:02 AM
Spiros Pappas said...: The sober monitor sounds crazy.

But I still feel like Jane Doe was gang raped. I just don't believe this young woman consented to sex with seven different men over an eight hour.period. Plus one of them.punched her in the face. These young men should be worried. They look soft amd.prison will eat them alive.; 10/6/26, 11:03 AM

ronetc said...: Spiros Pappas: "Believe" is a pitiful standard of judging, just feeling . . . and lusting after prison rape for them is awful. "I just don't believe this young woman consented to sex." The young men "look soft amd.prison [sic] will eat them alive."; 10/6/26, 11:21 AM
John henry said...: This morning I read that the woman tried to have sex with an unconscious boy at the party.

Shouldn't she be charged? (If true and if there is evidence etc)

John Henry; 10/6/26, 11:22 AM
HoodlumDoodlum said...: Spiros Pappas said "I just don't believe this young woman consented to sex with seven different men"
If you read her statement it's 5 different men, not 7, and she says she consented to sexual activity with at least 4 of the 5 over a multi-hour period--her (later) lawsuit claims she was only fully incapacitated after several hours of various debauchery and having moved to a second location (and consumed more drugs).
At any rate I find it plausible that someone who would consent to engage in sexual activity with 2, 3, and then 4 people (including 2 she just met, I believe) would consent to sex with 5, but many may disagree.; 10/6/26, 11:23 AM
John henry said...: I blame Brandon. This whole megillah happened on his watch.

John Henry; 10/6/26, 11:25 AM
Eva Marie said...: “I actually agree with her completely.”
I have mixed feelings about that. I see your point. My reservation is this: This sort of behavior is going to happen whether in a fraternity setting or not. Isn’t it better if the chaos happens in a semi controlled atmosphere where there are sober monitors to help young people who have overindulged themselves?
BTW, I criticized the young woman for not getting help right away - but that’s said in hindsight. She obviously didn’t realize help was needed until later.; 10/6/26, 11:32 AM

Wince said...: What substance did the woman in this video add to the conversation, except depict herself as a rescuing hero and victim all at once in one instance of what she claims is a rather common frat party scenario.

Further indicated by the fact she at the time was what they called a "Sober Monitor"?; 10/6/26, 11:58 AM
Hombre said...: Strong feelings. No evidence. AWFL in training.; 10/6/26, 11:58 AM
Bruce Hayden said...: The sober sister thing is a real thing. In my daughter’s sorority, the girls had to be the Sober Sister on occasion. I think more often than the girl in the video. Daughter did more than her fair share, because she wasn’t into the sex scene (and graduated Summa cum Laude).

But what is missing is that these girls really want to go up to the guys’ rooms and have sex. Really badly. They spend the afternoon before these parties getting really drunk - the sorority girls at their sororities. At her school, a lot more got “transported” Fri and Sat nights than guys did.

It’s a running war, all night long, getting worse through the night. Normal ratio was two potentially drunk sisters for each sober sister, and that was really too much, with both their drunk sisters trying to go off with guys at the same time, sometimes at opposite ends of the room. It was worse for the GDI (non-Greek) women, without the support of Sober Sisters to keep them somewhat out of trouble.

This isn’t really just about college girls. My partner loves to dance (that’s where her college degree is in). But never really found a woman she could go to a club with, because her partner of the night seemed to always want to go home with a guy. Night I met her, she was at a club, dancing, and her partner of the night was heavily making out with some guy she had just me. We spent an hour waiting for her, sitting at the bar, not drinking, just talking. She has some really good stories from these outings.

The point is, is that a lot of women really love sex. Who doesn’t? But are too ashamed to just call up a guy, invite him over, and do him (remember Mattress Girl?). And don’t have a steady BF (which takes work). But if they get drunk (and here, drugged up) enough, it’s not their fault. Except, she was probably drinking all afternoon, to get ready for the party.; 10/6/26, 11:59 AM

RideSpaceMountain said...: "This morning I read that the woman tried to have sex with an unconscious boy at the party.

Shouldn't she be charged? (If true and if there is evidence etc)"

Per her 2024 statement:

"[Male number 2] began to dry heave as if he was going to vomit. Jane Doe 'began to take care of [male number 2] by patting his back while also waking [male number 1] every few minutes to make sure he was okay'. Jane Doe 'was consoling [male number 2] on the couch and telling him that it was ok if he needed to vomit. [Male number 2] told Jane Doe he was pretty sure he wasn't going to vomit. Eventually, Jane Doe and [male number 2] would start making out for a very short amount of time'. While they were making out, '[male number 2] reached for the area near [her] vagina several times and each time he did, [she] would swat his hand away.

[Male number 3] then knocked on the door of the room. Jane Doe 'decided to let him in because it was his room.' She 'opened the door' and let [male number 3] in the room where [he] 'introduced himself to [her] and reach to shake her hand.' 'When [she] made contact with [male number 3's] hand, [he] pulled [her] into him and [they] began making out. While [male number 3] was kissing [her], [male number 2] began groping [her].' Evenually, '[male number 2, male number 3, and Jane Doe] would end up on the bed next to where [male number 1] was sleeping and [they] began having a threesome.'"

A bonafide rapefest if I ever hearda one. Everyone - including Jane - got all rapey that night, apparently. Shame the guys didn't press charges considering the state they were in, pot calling kettle.; 10/6/26, 12:10 PM
RideSpaceMountain said...: Word going round is Jane Doe's name is Lucy Craig. "Loosey" Craig. The gods it would seem are not without a sense of humor.; 10/6/26, 12:12 PM
Rabel said...: So her great fear that ruined her college experience was being "dropped down the social ladder"?; 10/6/26, 12:16 PM
Bob Boyd said...: She's very vague about what happened. She makes a lot of implications, but nothing specific. She leads people to make assumptions and feel outraged, but she's careful not to say something she could be nailed down on.
She laments the boys weren't punished severely, but for what?
And then she says some guy told something that made her afraid, but then she says she doesn't know who he was or if had anything to do with any frat. And nothing happened to her. None of those fears were realized. The frat in question was not happy that some of its members were called in to the office? Maybe because they didn't do anything? If they did, why not say what exactly they should have been permanently banned from campus for. I mean that's a severe consequence that would ruin their lives. She is clear she thinks that's what should have happened, but why?
She's just another clout seeker on the internet, apparently.; 10/6/26, 12:19 PM
Bob Boyd said...: She seems to just be trying to leverage her connection to this week's media firestorm.; 10/6/26, 12:23 PM
Spiros Pappas said...: Ronetc, Hoodlums, there has to be an investigation and somebody probably documented this rape with their smart phones.; 10/6/26, 12:29 PM
RideSpaceMountain said...: Rumor is there's actual video (it's the current year...so of course there is). It'd be a shame if it showed her saying "yes" and 'having a good time'.; 10/6/26, 12:31 PM
Rabel said...: It's interesting that the young lady in the Sloppy 7 case is also suing her sorority. That's going to ding her social status bigly.; 10/6/26, 12:33 PM
tommyesq said...: So the sorority instituted safety procedures, the fraternity recognized and cooperated with these procedures and safely got a drunk woman back to her dorm, someone at the dorm (RA?) determined that medical help may be necessary and called EMT's - seems like a well-functioning system to me. Also, fraternities often have policies of disinviting girls who show up sloppy and drunk from future events specifically to avoid the liability that these girls bring to the house. This, rather than punishment, is likely why the sorority was disinvited. In fairness to her, she was a freshman (18? 19?) who likely didn't really know better.; 10/6/26, 12:35 PM
Old and slow said...: That was a tedious and pointless story. She was "terrified"?; 10/6/26, 12:35 PM
tommyesq said...: "Rumor is there's actual video (it's the current year...so of course there is). It'd be a shame if it showed her saying "yes" and 'having a good time'."

That would be good from a legal perspective, but nobody involved is going to come out of any video of this looking good.; 10/6/26, 12:36 PM
RideSpaceMountain said...: "That's going to ding her social status bigly."

The suit definitely, but otherwise she's in good company.; 10/6/26, 12:39 PM
Amadeus 48 said...: This seems a little thin. Some guy who is not even a member of the frat house says she is in big trouble, and it puts her off her feed for the rest of the year? Did the sober sisters get any training about how to handle the aftermath of an extraction from a frat house? The frat house dropped her sorority? Well, boo-hoo. Good riddance.; 10/6/26, 12:42 PM
RideSpaceMountain said...: "That would be good from a legal perspective"

Well *someone* decided to make a case out of everyones' lack of accountability and bad judgement here, so that is what it is now, isn't it?; 10/6/26, 12:43 PM
Saint Croix said...: So when I was 16, my parents went off on vacation by themselves, and my little brother and I had a baby-sitter. A girl friend of mine from another high school was throwing a party. I did not have a fake ID, so I could not buy beer. So I raided my Dad's liquor cabinet. I took a bottle of vodka and a bottle of scotch. I'd never had liquor before.

So I was drinking the vodka, straight up. It kind of burned. But it was all right. It was a huge party. I knew two people. My girl friend who was throwing the party, and a guy friend who used to go to my high school. Everybody else was a stranger. Not just a stranger but our big rival high school.

So I'm drinking and drinking my vodka, straight up. And getting pretty drunk, pretty quick. My guy friend takes my scotch bottle away from me. I was like, "You can't do that." And he took it. Probably saved my life.

We had one rule at the party: my girl friend didn't want anybody to go into her parents' bedroom. I got so drunk, I forgot this rule.

I finished off the vodka. And I was so sleepy. So I went into her parents bedroom, took my pants off, and climbed into bed.

I slept for a while. Then I woke up, thirsty. So I got out of bed. And I walked out into the party, without my pants. And everybody's looking at me. And that's the last thing I remember from that night.

But man, I heard some stories the next day. And I am very, very glad that Facebook, or the internet, did not exist back then.; 10/6/26, 12:44 PM
bagoh20 said...: And it only costs $100K a year. What a great deal! If I had $400K at 22, I would have been a self-employed millionaire by 30 without breaking a sweat.; 10/6/26, 12:54 PM
Earnest Prole said...: I taught my sons not to be rapists, my daughters not to be victims, and all five of them to protect those who are not in a position to protect themselves. From the mush here I take it not many of you are parents (or weren’t much good at it).; 10/6/26, 12:56 PM
Lem Vibe Bandit said...: There's so little information to go on from the Sober Monitor story, I could add to what the sober monitor said, 'I'm a 'sober monitor' and I wasn't monitoring diddly squat.'; 10/6/26, 1:00 PM
Saint Croix said...: My reaction, to this sober monitor story, was that this one girl did too much alcohol, or too much drugs, at this party. She was the one who messed up. The reason that her sorority was banned for a couple of months, was that this girl had overdosed at their party.

The fraternity literally did nothing wrong. Unless throwing a party is evil now. The sober monitor did nothing wrong. This girl got drunk and did damage to herself. Everybody else helped her and tried to get her home safe. The end.

But now, the sober monitor is rewriting this narrative. She's putting herself as the star of this little movie. She's dramatizing the fraternity as this evil castle where bad things happen to girls. And this innocent girl was almost hurt in the evil castle. Except I, the sober monitor, saved her!

So that's my takeaway. She seems incapable of seeing that it was her sorority sister that messed up, not the fraternity. And she wants to make herself the center of attention. So she did a good job as a sober monitor. Sisterhood. Take the win. But now she wants to demonize Greek life. You're literally demonizing groups of men (fraternities) and groups of women (sororities).

As if women and men can't get blindly drunk outside the Greek system! Anyway, it's clear to me that alcohol and/or drugs is the bad guy in this story. The girl did damage to herself. And the Greek system saved her ass, actually. But she can't help herself, and so she builds this narrative that awful things could have happened.

If we were like feminists, we would call this stud-shaming. You are stud-shaming, you hater. Quit stud-shaming us. Luckily, we don't have a man version of feminism to send us down this sex-hating rathole, where you blame half of humanity for what your life has become.; 10/6/26, 1:00 PM
Arashi said...: So is ketamine actually legal? If not, why did the university not investigate to the full extent allowed into the use of it at the frat party when the event occurred, or did I miss that in the public cry to to punish the accused at Cornell before a trial and evidence?; 10/6/26, 1:04 PM

narciso said...: Tiktok seems to be like blipverts; 10/6/26, 1:17 PM
Christopher B said...: Spiros Pappas, I'm not entirely sure which incident you are referencing but in the extant Cornell case (which actually happened 2 years ago) there were investigations by the local DA and Cornell already. The DA declined to charge because, as a number of people including Sunny Hostin have observed, NY law does not recognize impaired judgement as negating the ability to consent and the victim did not initially claim any activity occurred when she was incapacitated (and still doesn't IIRC). Cornell then did its own investigation and expelled two of the assailants, disciplined others, and permanently closed the frat house.

At least you sound somewhat misinformed instead of being a sanctimonious a$$hole like some others.; 10/6/26, 1:18 PM
Saint Croix said...: It's a lot easier in the South for a man to get blindly drunk. Because nobody tries to rape you. That's not a thing. I never worried about it, and nobody else did, either. This wasn't Deliverance. It was Charlotte.

So that's inequality, right? It's a lot safer to be a blindly drunk man, than a blindly drunk woman, out on the streets. This is why, in my life, I saw a lot more blindly drunk men than blindly drunk women, when I was young.

When I was at college, all the sororities would assign drinking buddies. And your drinking buddy's job was to make sure that your drinking buddy was okay. And vice-versa. There's a name for these people now. They're called cock-blockers. That's what they do.

Back in my day, we called them drinking buddies. Men were never assigned drinking buddies. That was a girl thing. We had actual drinking buddies -- like my buddy who took my scotch bottle away from me -- but they are not assigned to us.

Anyway, watch out for alcohol and drugs. Take a buddy with you to the party. Quit demonizing billions of people you've never met. And quit dramatizing nightmare scenarios that didn't happen and making your sober ass the center of attention.

Have fun! Is this fun for you, the dramatizing? Because all it did was aggravate and bore me. It's a childish fantasy story while you skip out and miss on real life. You're going to grow up to be a scared 40-year-old cat lady, without a man or a family, but with horror stories of what might have been.; 10/6/26, 1:20 PM
Joe Bar said...: Arashi said...

Yes. It is a presciption anesthetic. It is listed as a Schedule III non-narcotic substance under the Controlled Substances Act.; 10/6/26, 1:20 PM

Children are taught to hate at the Ivy League. I have zero sympathy for Rape University. This is on you. You did it.

It's like looking around the NYU office and wondering why there are so few Republicans and Zionists in the building. Because you hate us and tolerance is an alien concept to you.; 10/6/26, 1:29 PM

bagoh20 said...: The University creates this situation where physically adult men and women are still treated like children with few responsibilities or demands for the expression of good character. It wasn't like that in the past, so much. Today we coddle kids right up until we let them loose on each other, and then we're surprised they act like this. I wasn't in a fraternity; I lived off campus, and we partied pretty hard, but the men I knew there would never consider gang sex with an intoxicated woman, and there were many opportunities. It was just the opposite. They would pull away if you were out of line with a girl, and then shame you for it the next day. They would protect a vulnerable person who was wasted.; 10/6/26, 1:52 PM
Peachy+2 said...: Jefferson County Public Schools - run by democrats - have a teacher sexual abuse problem.
AND a corruption problem. The dems use millions of tax payer dollars to update the schools, then the dems shut the schools down.

Aggie said...: Well..... so she's a freshman, just arrived at a new campus setting, just joined a sorority. And what age range is the most susceptible to peer pressure? Yeah, I'd give her points for doing the right things, and subtract almost nothing for being imperfect. What was missing was receiving supportive feedback from someone familiar with the system. It sounds like nobody did that, at all, and she was forced to live in doubt that she had acted correctly, instead of having her confidence boosted that she acted wisely, alone, unprompted.

She's probably right about Cornell needing to restructure the way it handles greek life. Maybe the Death Penalty for a few years, let the restructuring proceed from both sides. I've seen greek life phenomena on two university campuses, one with 10k students, one with 100k. Toxic on both, never my cup o' tea, but young people don't learn how to make choices when no choice is available.; 10/6/26, 2:33 PM

imTay said...: "Fraternities are like Jews at Cornell. "They don't belong here! Nobody wants them here!"

The actuality:

"About 20% of Cornell undergraduates are Jewish, according to the latest Hillel International estimates used in its 2025–26 rankings.
Hillel puts the figure at roughly 2,500 Jewish undergraduates out of about 12,470 undergraduates. That places Cornell fourth among private universities by number of Jewish undergrads, and first in the Ivy League on that measure. Brown is higher by share (about 24%) but smaller in absolute numbers." -- Grok

Basically Jewish students are very welcome at Cornell, and I can't imagine what the motivation would be for this slam at Cornell? Well, I can see why propagandists would say it, but I don't get why an ordinary person would reach for such a counterfactual insult.; 10/6/26, 2:57 PM
Aggie said...: Maybe someone else has already mentioned this, but I'll just pop in a little reminder that the Cornell Greek sex incident that is being hawked, pumped, inflated, and correlated somehow as a reflection of Trump and MAGA values, actually took place on October 24th, 2024; i.e., before election day, and during the Biden Administration.; 10/6/26, 2:59 PM

Not so fond memories. I suffered through K-12 there, as did my 4 brothers. Daughter would have, except we sent her to private school. And my granddaughter is in the district. I am willing to send her to a private school, but my son-in-law thought his public school experiences (in very rural VT).

Politically connected HS classmates got jobs there teaching after graduation. They tended to go to Greeley for college, and weren’t very bright.; 10/6/26, 2:59 PM
Bruce Hayden said...: “ That places Cornell fourth among private universities by number of Jewish undergrads, and first in the Ivy League on that measure. Brown is higher by share (about 24%) but smaller in absolute numbers."

GF in business school was almost militantly Jewish. She graduated from Brown in three years. Went there because she claimed that it was the only Ivy admitting Jews. That was probably an exaggeration, but did appear to be much more Jewish friendly, back in the mid 1970s.; 10/6/26, 3:07 PM

Ask the NYT

Cornell has been riven by pro-Palestinian demonstrations and charges of antisemitism, including an incident in which the university president bumped a student with his car.

The university has accepted $2 billion in Qatar oil money and apparently has imported a lot of crazy and are now indoctrinating the kids with it. YMMV.; 10/6/26, 3:22 PM

It's not fair to attack any commenters' perceived parenting either, no matter how pure a paladin Prole thinks he is. Virtue signaling white knightism...cringe inducing. Ew.; 10/6/26, 3:23 PM

Yesterday I read there was a student protest at Cornell regarding the incident. The location?

I wasn't attacking his family. I was poking fun at his assumption that his sons have to be warned about criminal behavior, and his daughters have to be warned about being victimized by criminal behavior.

Any attack on actual family members was wholly unintended and I apologize.; 10/6/26, 3:40 PM
boatbuilder said...: If this was a "formal" fraternity/sorority function, it would have been structured so that a third-party vendor was serving liquor, with ID checks (OK, most of the ID's are fake, but whatever) wristbands, etc. What happens, however, is that both parties--the frat boys and the sorority sisters--do "pre-gaming"--getting drunk in their own dorms or frat/sorority houses--before the party starts, and they also leave the frat house to drink and come back. (Another trick is to carry water bottles filled with vodka). Having freshman, who are not even legal drinkers, as "sober monitors" is an absurd sop to the requirements of the national fraternities and sororities.
Meanwhile there is similar drinking--the majority of it underage-- going on all over the supposedly law-abiding campuses. The only time that any college administration pretends to enforce the rules is after some sort of horrific incident occurs. And then woe betide any poor young lad or lass caught in the crossfire. And any fraternal organization even remotely involved.
I'm not sure what this young lady's issue is. Did she somehow think that nobody would be able to figure out where the drunk girl was unless she blurted it out, when the sorority was having an organized mixer with the frat? And as others have already pointed out, it sounds like the fraternity did what it was supposed to do.; 10/6/26, 3:47 PM

You know, I didn’t catch that at all. That’s a good test of a person’s assumptions. I failed that test.; 10/6/26, 3:52 PM
Saint Croix said...: Cornell cancels classes after anti-Semitic threats

Cornell faces $100 million in settlement in federal anti-semitism probe

I could do this all day. The left is dominated by university-indoctrinated people. And they have been amping up the anti-Israel hysteria more and more.; 10/6/26, 4:05 PM

Eva Marie said...: “There are two groups of people who believe there are no differences between the sexes: Leftists and the childless.“
You’re right. And this is a comment made in general not about anyone’s family - but one of the problems today is that “boys are taught to control their impulses and girls are taught to indulge theirs.” And women can do a lot of damage by not keeping thise impulses in check.; 10/6/26, 5:47 PM
Eva Marie said...: For instance that young woman narrating the Tiktok video has never learned to keep her emotions in check.; 10/6/26, 5:50 PM
Spiros said...: It's really unfortunate that the media has lied to us so much that our first response is to not "believe the victim" but rather "the victim is lying." Let's go through the statements and the evidence (especially any video evidence) and, if Jane Doe's accusations are false, her lies will be exposed. But if we got video evidence and more women come forward and a couple of these scumbags confess to their crimes, I'm sorry, but these young men must be held responsible. Heck, you can go ahead and kill the bastards, nobody is going to care. And, FYI, it is really hard to believe this BS that a stupid, slutty 20 year old woman consented to getting punched in the face and having sex with five different men while dozens more watched.; 10/6/26, 5:55 PM
Jim at said...: *And, FYI, it is really hard to believe this BS that a stupid, slutty 20 year old woman consented to getting punched in the face and having sex with five different men while dozens more watched.*

Want to know why it's hard to believe? Because nothing in the prior, criminal investigation shows anything like that happened.; 10/6/26, 6:15 PM
JaimeRoberto said...: As far as I know the claim that she was punched comes from a local NY new report about "a transcript" provided by "a source". We haven't actually seen the transcript so it's impossible to know if it's legit. It also differs greatly from the DA's description of Cornell's investigation, but we haven't seen their actual investigation either. However, if she had been punched in the face, it seems to me it wouldn't have taken so long for her to figure out that something bad happened.; 10/6/26, 6:23 PM
IamDevo said...: Poor Spiros, living in Ye Olden Tymes when maidens were virtuous and only cads, cads I tell you, would take unseemly advantage of them when they are in deshabille. We now live in a society in which women voluntarily and purely (hmmm, perhaps I should say "exclusively") for monetary gain FUCK A THOUSAND MEN ON CAMERA FOR THE ENTIRE WORLD TO SEE!!!!! Wake up, fer cryin' out loud! Women today not only have gutter-level sex for kicks and giggles, but have no compunctions against showing what they do to everyone with a phone and an internet connection. So no, dear Spiros, it should not come as a surprise that the whore in question had sex of all sorts with five, seven or who really knows how many frat boys and had not a thought in the world about it until she was outed as the cheap whore she quite evidently was and is by the on line community she inhabits.; 10/6/26, 6:25 PM
Ralph L said...: Why would her sorority *want* to go to parties at a frat that appeared predatory to one of their drunk members? That's what she implied, that a group of men was trying to have their way with the drunk girl.; 10/6/26, 6:48 PM

Once college chicks stopped doing pottery it all went to Hell.

That's what she implied, while at the same time saying that the same group of men were asking if anyone knew the drunk girl so that she could be taken home. Go figure.; 10/6/26, 7:34 PM

JK Brown said...: I don't understand. It's been 12 years since Presidential Obama issued what is in essence a Presidential finding [2014] that college campuses are SA factories for the young women on campus. He create a presidential task force to bring the colleges together to find a way to stop being "rape rooms".

And yet here we are, nothing changed. If colleges were bars or night clubs the sheriff would shut them down as public nuisances for their high SA rate.

Yet universities still market themselves as the 'college experience'. Which in reality is that there are lots of potential sex partners, no oversight for underage drinking or illegal drug use and easy grading so your social life doesn't impact your getting the magic parchment.

Beds, booze and kinky sex fairs are what colleges are today.; 10/6/26, 7:59 PM

The ones (women) that are not getting into the action are standing around and watching. Of course you don't get to see those who leave, disgusted.; 10/7/26, 7:36 AM
