I'm going to hold your hand when I say this: not every unpleasant or uncomfortable or regrettable experience needs to become a life-altering trauma.
You can actually let a mistake be a lesson instead of a wound to build your identity around.
You don't need to dissect every uncomfortable moment until you find a victim and a villain.
The mess of being human doesn't always need to be pathologized.
Holy shit I'm going to lose my mind.
A senior at Harvard observes “a narrative emerging among young people that more than just consent is required to make a sex act ethical.”
“In the Cornell Daily Sun, a student says fraternities function as ‘a market, where women are seen as commodities.’”
“A Dartmouth contributor lambasts frat culture where brothers ‘humiliate and degrade’ and that teaches ‘men to treat women and each other like subhuman objects.’”
“The emerging picture is of a sexual ethic that cannot be satisfied simply by one liberal-autonomous agent assenting to the action of another. The new ethic requires upholding the dignity and respect of the human being involved. Respecting women is incompatible with drug-fueled orgies where the ‘shop’ is ‘open,’ regardless of how consensual said orgy may or may not be.”
No. Colleges should NOT play the role of a parent. Authority on a campus is not synonymous with parental authority.
A fundamental part of leaving home for college is learning how to navigate adulthood without constant supervision. It's learning how to be responsible for your own choices, your own time, your own mistakes, etc.
Extending adolescence only infantilizes young adults, and that mindset is EXACTLY why Gen Z is struggling to adapt.
Im so annoyed that the take is "sex positivity" is the issue or colleges need to be more parental, when quite frankly, neither of these are the fucking problem.
The problem is this constant reinforcement of an external locus of control and a complete refusal to let people bear the weight of their own agency.
It really makes my blood boil that so many people are actively trying to redefine the word "rape."
It's so vile.
Women: you are either an independent being who takes full responsibility and ownership of your life/choices, or you are a dependent who defers all the power and liability to an external authority.
If you want to be a perpetual victim of circumstance where things just *happen* to you, completely exempt from the weight of consequence, that’s your prerogative.
But a woman cannot claim autonomous freedom AND be exempt from the responsibility that comes with it.
That's the trade-off sweetie, take it or leave it.
You either have agency or you don't. If you can't take the heat, gtfo the kitchen.. or dare I say, back in it.
Joining greek life before 2010 was like getting the last chopper out of nam.
Ashley St. Clair is so fascinating to me because she unabashedly changed every single one of her "political beliefs" (clearly she has never sincerely had any but I digress) the MOMENT she was dumped by the richest man on earth and expects us all to believe that she just wants to "tax the rich" because she cares sooo much about poor people.
lmao girl, who do you think you're fooling?
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned let me tell ya.

I’ve seen people try to downplay the lesbian bar story, but they don’t understand that it’s a true illustration of how these “communities” operate. The types of people in the story have hijacked academia and the literary and art worlds. The insanity is not isolated—it’s a real problem.
When producing events in Boston, I learned this lesson pretty quickly. The best way to deal with these people?
Ignore them. Let them scream and cry and threaten. Let them have their wittle baby temper tantrum.
When you appease one grievance, you best believe they’ll find another one. And another one. And another one... until your original vision is just a whittled down emaciated corpse of what it used to be.
You do not want these types as your demographic anyway because all they do drain the oxygen out of the room.
Their whole ethos is deconstruction, not construction.
The lesson of the masking drama at the Massachusetts lesbian bar is that you can't negotiate with terrorists, even ones with Long Covid:

Maybe these people will finally realize that building a business model out of this weaponized intersectionality bullshit is fundamentally doomed to fail.
A lesbian bar in Greenfield eased its stringent mask mandate, a decision that has splintered the queer community in the city and beyond. trib.al/FyZjBWs
Guys if you just channeled that neurodivergency into being god-tier level at what you do, no one is going to give a flying fuck about your iced coffee.
Those "seemingly futile" social rules are for mids only. Stop being mid-tier so you can ascend to the status of the eccentric yet indispensable genius.
If you cannot be likeable, you sure as fuck better be so spectacular that they just consider you a savant like Rain Man.

You can’t dismantle anything when you can’t read a book or the room
This is why millennials will inherit the world while zoomers fade into the background and get skipped over for the next generation with even an iota of gumption
