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:

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

For a moment your world is spinning. The phone alarm has just scared you awake and you’re flooded by daunting thoughts of the day ahead.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?

Finals week is upon us. It is a magical time of year during which college students everywhere flock to the library in attempt to learn a semester's worth of knowledge in only a week.
