    omg. You divil – putting up that picture! The obvious response would be, “dear heart, you’ve already had far too many sandwiches already. Let me make you a small salad so we can *both* make you into the thin healthy person you were meant to be”…owtte.
    Truth: I only skimmed this Femme Faux Grievance Stroll…
    Ever since I experienced these brown-shirts in action when my son was at William & Mary, I am sickened by their antics. The worst was an incident in which some young woman in a sorority known for its alcohol consumption got very very very inebriated. In the course of the evening and into the early morning hours she umm…’encountered’ several young men. I don’t know how many but some of them were to step up later as this horrid girl proceeded to ruin one of them.
    It’s been 10 years now, so the details are fuzzy..at any rate, thru the fog of hangover and blackout she experienced some kind of seller’s remorse and charged one of the young men with rape. I believe she chose him because he was the one she could remember. Initially, he was charged by the police and arrested, but once they looked into it, the charges were dropped.
    But the W&M Fem police didn’t drop it. He was tried in absentia, found guilty and kicked out of school. He may have even been ordered to pay something or other…
    iirc. he would be permitted to return to school after she had graduated. Meanwhile, she got all sorts of support including counseling and was cut a break for her classes, papers, etc. The administration was falling all over itself. Again iirc, much of her underage booze was consumed at the house of one of W&M’s trustees, rectors – some bigwig, before the group of girls went on to other parties. And either she herself was related to the bigwigs or one of her BFF sorority sisters was.
    It was utterly disgusting. Not only did an innocent person get tarred & feathered and run out of town plus losing a year of schooling & turition, but the promiscuous heavy drinker was essentially rewarded for her unethical and immoral behavior. Oh, and all the boys (perhaps just those in her year? – I forget now) had to attend a series of mandatory “date rape” “classes”. My son went to one and then refused further indoctrination since (a) he didn’t drink much, and (b) he thought most of those girls were steel-bellied air heads (yeah, he’d read Dan Jenkins years before & just because he didn’t drink much doesn’t mean he didn’t know the 10 Stages of Drunkenness)
    I did write the school and ask them WHY, given the level of alcohol, the fact that there’d been several suicides and accidental deaths at the school during my son’s time there they didn’t have nightly/daily AA chapters on campus. The deaths via booze on college campuses, including alcohol poisoning are very high.
    What small respect I had for that school vanished. I didn’t know the kid’s name or I would have written him my support. Knowing what I know how about searching for people, I could’ve gotten it, but was ignorant then. As the years have gone by I’ve wondered about him and his experience, have prayed for him to heal.
    I fear for our young men and what the system is doing to them. The girls/women don’t know it but becoming the oppressors doesn’t prevent you from being victimized by your own inane, insane belief system.
