Sexual Violence on Campus

[xxxkaliaxxx]

Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday of this week at my school are dedicated to Take Back the Night and educating about sexual violence. I had assumed that I would not be able to attend the actual Take Back the Night speak out and demonstration but it turns out it is this Wed not this Tues. And so I will attend

Your third to last, and last paragraphs pretty much explain why I hate college so much. I walk around school, and see these like, typical alpha male jock frat boy stupid long island pieces of shit and am so glad that I'm not one of them, and that I'm not friends with any of them either. Walking from class to class I overhear "dudes" tellin' their "bro's" "look at that chick, holy shit, I'd bang the fuck out of her!" and like, calling out to her, and I'll think to myself "who actually does that???". Its like watching a bad movie, and you think to yourself "no one really acts like that in public, do they??".... but they do, and its really pathetic. Its scary how delluded these guys are.

Im sure you've read my livejournal posts and it probably sticks out that I like to party (I make no secret of this to my "friends" list), so I am aware of the irony of what I just said. However, I really do sympathize with what you said about our youth and our culture. I have one or two friends at school because I don't WANT to know anyone else. I wouldn't want to associate with ANY of these kids. The girls too... trashy, four tons of makeup and 500 dollars worth of clothing thats barely even there. Not to mention the hardly insightful comments in class coming from everyone. Seriously, the level of stupidity is mindnumbing. Do you ever sit there in class asking yourself "how the hell did these kids actually get into a university?!?! how do they pass!?!?"

I just want to know what happened to resepct? Maybe I'm a bit too "romantic" in the sense, but it seems there was a time when a guy would pursue a woman and would literally have to woo her over, and win her heart. Not get her drunk, fuck her, and then do it again the next night.

I dunno, I'm rambling here and probably not making any sort of a point, so i guess I'll shut up now.

Thank you for your comments there. I thought those were wonderful. Sounds like the atmosphere of your college is even worse than mine. Do you live on campus?

And you are right there just is no level of respect. I mean I don't mean to knock the party scene or anyone who drinks. I do believe there is a such thing as responsible drinking but I rarely see anyone who truly knows their limits or who even watches out for their friends limits. I have never gone to a party on campus.

I've never experienced an "on campus party" either, for I live at home (thankfully). Although I'd love to be away from the reach of my parents, I'd actually rather be alone than living with the trash of long island.
