for myself anyway, the whole damn thing - "V's" and "P's" and Broadway shows - has made a mockery of the very thing the originating idea was attempting to help prevent; that being violence toward women. Sad

I had found it ridiculous and embarrassing as a woman that this was supposed to be something to help raise awareness to protect those of my gender. I heard more in the way of laughter and ridicule as a response.

It's too bad - they had good intentions, but now it has backfired in the form of parody and satire. They couldn't have been surprised that this would happen. Sad

WRT the college campuses ...

... I think the first misstep was the overblowing of violence against women (inflated rape statistics by redefining the term to include seemingly everything absent a signed consent form). All that did was diminish the appropriate outrage over true rape and chill the kind of rational discourse between the genders that would be constructive.

There is something warped about the whole ****** Monologues to begin with. Considering that the original version had an alcohol plied 13 y.o. stating that "if it was a rape it was a good rape" Sad

That said, the thought of that college administrator greeting the mascot thinking it was a mushroom is priceless! Wish I could see his face when he realized it wasn't a mushroom Wink

got over mistaking a gigantic p enis for a mushroom!! LOL (Hmmm - filter doesn't like p enis, but ****** is ok Wink )

Reminded me of an incident at the hospital where I work. About 4 years ago, we had our CFO step in as Interim Administrator. He was doing a bit of walking on egg shells as there were some messes left behind from the previous one. Anyway, at about that time we had our first Hospice patient that qualified for Medical Marijuana. After the patient got his paperwork from his physician, I was assigned to complete the remainder with him. Our Administrator had his knickers in a knot over this because he just knew that someone was going to think we were pushing marijuana.

As this was happening, and we were coddling the Admin about it, I put out a flyer asking for interested people to sign up for Hospice Volunteer work. On the flyer I had printed a large sunflower to give it some color. The Administrator thought the sunflower was a marijuana plant! He about had a coronary, and we had to waste more time reassuring him!! It is funny now, but at the time it was a PITA Grin

left doesn't have much of a sense of humor. It gives one hope that the radical, leftist agenda being pushed by administration and faculty in many places is not working. Some students are retaining their ability to think for themselves. The danger is that more compliant students will see the exercise of independence and adopt the conservative viewpoint as their own.

That is why the left is so up in arms...
