Rollins College Women React To Proposed Legalization Of Rape

Masculinity must be so fragile. Like so fragile nowadays. If you don't know what I'm talking about, then check out my latest article on masculinity.

Roosh V, leader of the group "Return of Kings", has gained international media attention within the past two weeks. Gaining attention when he planned meet-ups around the globe on February 6, Roosh has been under fire in particular for his proposal to legalize rape "in order to reduce the amount of rapes." Ironically the meet-ups were cancelled since he could no longer guarantee the safety of the men involved.

The RoK group is one that follows the rules of Neomasculinity, which boasts ideas such as biological gender roles, a return to a stronger patriarchy, intense masculinity and other testosterone-based arguments among many others.

We decided to capture the reactions that college women have in response to Roosh's justification that legalizing rape would in return reduce the amount of rapes. College women, in particular, are an at-risk group where about one in four women will experience rape during her academic time.

Here are their reactions:

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
