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:

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
