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:

Thank You on wooden blocks

1. Thank you for being the one I can always count on to be honest.

A true friend will tell you if the shirt is ugly, or at least ask to borrow it and "accidentally" burn it.

2. Thank you for accepting me for who I am.

A best friend will love you regardless of the stale french fries you left on the floor of your car, or when you had lice in 8th grade and no one wanted to talk to you.

Everybody gets sick once in a while, but getting sick while in college is the absolute worst. You're away from home and your mom who can take care of you and all you really want to do is just be in your own bed.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did.

Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!
