In a liberal college such as the one I attend, people often find a cause to get behind, something they can really be a part of and make the world a better place. Many of these are fantastic in theory, but in practice, they just seem like kind a waste of time.
For example, Feminism is a completely worthwhile pursuit and I believe that men and women deserve equal treatment. Anyway, last night, I walked into the auditorium where some sort of feminist meeting had taken place the night before. Their discussion topics were still on the whiteboard. One of the questions was (something like), What can we do to improve the sense of community for local women? A perfectly fair question: so, what was the answer written down on the whiteboard? The answer is to "create a stronger presence for the anti-rape culture on campus".
The idea of an anti-rape culture is one that is completely new to me, it also seems really, really dumb. I don't know who anti-rape publicity is gonna stop, I just can't imagine that a rapist is going to be persuaded by an anti-rape march. Also, it just seems bizarre that an entire culture has come just based around the premise of being anti-rape, you guy's should join my culture, it's the pro-earth culture.

They were probably just trying to deter people from "Slipping a Mickie." Definition - to put something in someone's food or drink without their knowledge...such as a roofie or another mind altering drug.
I actually did that to you about 7 times when I visited you. Hope you don't mind.
Where does the pro rape group meet? and in keeping with the theme of good vs. evil. do they use a blackboard as opposed to a white board??
So, what you are saying Nick is that the true sign of an effective anti-rape culture is lots of sippy- cups.
Tawd, since it's at Fairhaven, it would most likely be a blackboard but it wouldn't be called that, it would be a non-ethnically-specific evil board.
And while we are at it, I say lets promote the pro zany culture!! The world could use a little more of that I think.
Your audience (me) demands the continuation of your blog of awesomeness.
