Noting here that if the Block plan of Education appeals to you/your prospective student, Colorado College is RIGHT HERE, and is down to 2 count them 2 frats and sororities, has a mission statement on Greek Life that’s pretty rigorous, and does its damnedest to prevent sexual harassment and assault.

I wish that women didn't have to open a vein and spill their trauma every time there's a high-profile rape case. We shouldn't have to do that to drive home what a widespread fucking problem this is.

The reason this is so dangerous is that "sex-based rights" smuggles a perverse idea into the heart of the law: the idea that you should get special rights because of your immutable biology. This is the *opposite* of what civil rights law is meant to achieve.

there are no worthwhile qualities of fraternities, full stop. when they're not busy raping women and defending their rapist members they abuse and kill new members for fun. colleges have proven they cannot be made safe or reformed. the only reasonable policy at this point is banning all of them.
