*Side note, this is a bash of TFM, not fraternities*
I’m not in a sorority. I’ve considered joining many times, and who knows, when fall recruitment rolls around I may give it a go.
With that aside, I do know many girls in sororities, some of them my closest friends. I also know many guys in fraternities, also some of whom are my friends, and I’ve always joked about how if I was a guy I would join a frat in a heartbeat... I mean, what’s not to love? They all have a strong brotherhood, make friends for life, throw great parties, meet unlimited amounts of girls, and graduate with a network of thousands of men in any industry they could dream of working in.
It’s always seemed like a pretty good gig... until I started noticing TFM articles getting published on the daily, rapidly diminishing the “fraternity gentleman” reputation and stripping my respect from the organizations, as well as men who participate in them (or the ones who act like the writers on Total Frat Move).
I'm gonna give a few examples of why women in sororities (and not in sororities, probably PNMs) are complaining.
1. Power Ranking The Hottest Sororities In America
As if the ranking of photos (over 50% being that of girls in bikinis) weren’t enough, the comments are what really get me.
All I can do is pray to God my future husband isn’t one of these guys who hide behind a screen name, anonymous picture, and try to make women everywhere feel bad about themselves because of the sisterhood they joined. What kind of conceited coward writes this crap? The worst part... they’re proud of publishing this trash, and even call themselves journalists just because they can write about how they got a degree in being a #FratStar and can outdrink you when it comes to PBRs.
Unfortunately for this dude, those “hot” or “not hot” girls they just ranked will probably end up being worlds more successful than him. I wonder what it will be like when he has a daughter of his own and she discovers this disgusting article in the Google archives... or worse, she joins a sorority and starts dating dudes like this, ones who have no respect for her or her friends. Will he regret it then?
Oh and just fyi to you “gentlemen”... no woman who truly respects herself gives a f*** what you think about her, she knows she’s worth more than you can give her.
2. Why Girls Should Stop Wearing High Waisted Bikinis
We’ve said it before and we will say it again... WE DON’T DRESS TO IMPRESS YOU. Boys automatically assume if a girl shows up wearing a backless dress it means “Plz sexually assault me!” Or... ya know maybe it just means “I feel sexy and confident wearing this, but please God don’t touch me, thx.”
Girls like to look good for themselves, the fact that a boy may notice you is just a plus.
Here’s a snippet from the article:
Did the writer of this demeaning article even consider that a girl wearing a high waisted suit isn’t trying to turn him on? It’s called a fashion trend, or fad for this matter. Trends come and go, and in recent years we have seen a come back with 90’s style clothing... high waisted shorts and now bikinis, included.
Women who enjoy fashion like to experiment with their look and style to try out new trends. We aren’t stupid. Girls are completely aware that a guy would prefer to see us in a string bikini with cheeky bottoms... but if you think I’m going to the beach to flaunt my body for creepy, misogynistic boys then you are sorely mistaken.
Stop body shaming. Stop trying to make girls feel bad about their style just because you miss staring at butts that you’ll never get to touch. Byeeeeeeee.
3. 50 Ways To Be The Perfect College Girlfriend
This is by far my favorite. The writer, “StuffFratPeopleLike,” is consistently writing pieces that just have a way with words unlike anything else…
And how can we be less insecure when we read articles like this on the daily, knowing we will never be able to meet your 50 explanations.
Also... you have a beer belly. Why don't you fix that before you talk to me about love handles. xoxo
“50 ways to be the perfect college boyfriend”
1. Stop talking about how hot my mom is it’s really creepy and she’s way out of your league.
Uhhh what does this have to do with my ability to be your girlfriend? Why do you care? Shut up.
Or you can accept a simple, “No, I respect myself and don’t owe you anything”...no tantrum necessary.
Wait, so... I have to have a hot body, and keep my hot body, but you don’t? Got it.
46. Disgusting.
47. I don’t owe you anything.
48. No girl wants to date a pig.
49. Class is attractive.
50. Be spontaneous. Surprise us with actually being a decent human being, maybe even a real man.
