She was in a sorority. Definitionally, her job is to be a member of the elites.

Thé disinvite was at the request of her sorority, which was worried about their reputation. Sorority sisters are not supposed to do groupsex. It was probably also an attempt to cover the frat’s rear end.

And it’s small enough that you can just… go through it, and not need a guide to make sure you don’t miss anything.

Patriarchy is not rule by men collectively. It’s rule by, specifically, fathers- and under most patriarchies age is the dominant factor, not gender, distinguishing the rulers from the ruled.
It’s true that under a patriarchy this never would have happened… because there wouldn’t be a house of young men.

I think you’re way overestimating the penetration of feminist norms around slut shaming.

Nobody is claiming that drunken frat bros were good guys here.
What seems to have happened is there was a social role of ‘young lady’ that was violated, the sorority decided she wasn’t going to parties anymore, and she went nuclear. This is woman drama with a few unsympathetic young men caught in the crossfire.

But she’s not supposed to be a slut, thats what started this- was the Greek life honchos shutting it down because she was doing bad, so she started making rape accusations. This is a social role/status violation.

No, no- it’s not some sort of reaction to the dominance of hip hop. It’s simply that an increasing percentage of teenagers and early young adults are red tribe due to fertility rates.
The African American population was likewise young relative to the population as a whole when black culture became cool. But that’s increasingly not the case; the youth bulge is with the SEC Americans- who have several advantages, because they’re already elites and already know how to have fun. You may not like Greek life and two stepping and Aggie football, but these things are equivalencies of cultural universals that young people want in every society.

This sounds more like Fort Worth than any number of important landmarks.
Do go to the Kimbell though. They do provide free parking in the obvious spot(and a phenomenal collection of the Dutch masters).

So basically, the culture that takes a more complimentary posture towards men- in contrast to the one that's built upon maximal exploitation "minimizing men's evil desires"- has a healthier and more constructive picture of how sexuality works.
The red tribe just thinks that sixteen year olds should be able to take on adult responsibilities. It's not about a complimentary view of men. It's about a different idea of adulting as a thing that you do, because you have to, and not some weird... I-don't-know-what-it-is. And in that view of course late teenagers can be adults in a variety of ways, even if they shouldn't. It's not this huge status difference determined by some other boundary. The really hardcore red tribe is OK with adults and teenagers being unironic platonic actual friends, too. It's not a gender difference so much as a 'be adult' definition that's more about how you behave than how others treat you.

There was a high status woman. By prevailing morality she can't be used as a 'good time girl', not openly.
In times past she'd get the blame and have to marry someone a bit lower than her. But today, that's taboo, so we have to pretend the boys are rapey. But the gods of copybook heading are returning; treating a girl from a wealthy family that way was always banned. The difference is, in times past, she would be sent to 'help her aunt' in another state. That's how my great grandparents met. Today that part's not happening. I mean it will, slowly but surely- she's already banned from the frat parties(which exist primarily to make sure upper class women marry upper class men). But it's not yet, we have seduction charges but not the other side. History repeats, it rhymes, it does all those things at once- and cultural universals will always resurface. Yeah, she's being punished. So are they. The gods of copybook heading go nuclear on everyone.

'Satisfaction' and 'pleasure' are besides the point. It's about 'dignity' and 'status', not those other things.
The outrage is about upholding a social hierarchy, and part of that is that upper class women are supposed to be treated a certain way. Of course it can't be put in those terms, hence all the rape-that-isn't.

There were lots of Covid vaccines available. The counterfactual where the US didn't develop a covid vaccine looks like one where Sputnik and Astrazeneca take most of the three US vaccine's early market share.

They imposed strict discipline and consistent standards. Mississippi is one of the few places where corporal punishment is still normal in schools.

This one is not true- african american culture is getting less 'in' due to differential fertility rates, red tribe culture is taking its place very slowly. Look at what the youths are doing. They want to wear red wing and drive trucks and do greek life etc.

I never bet against Susan Collins or John Sununu. It's a personal rule of mine. I do believe Talarico probably has a slight edge in Texas, and if the race isn't called before midnight local time he almost certainly won(the worst administered elections in the state are in a blue county, albeit not the bluest- and Harris county is just generally dysfunctional, this is not ipso facto evidence of fraud). Willing to believe Alaska and Ohio are well within reach for democrats as well.

I think what you're getting at is pretty simple- they treated her like a whore, except they didn't pay her.
That's what everyone has got grasping at straws. It's a status distinction- having sex with a lady you're supposed to be cuddly afterwards and make her tea and give her breakfast the next morning and the like. But society doesn't want to acknowledge that; this was a sorority sister(and thus some sort of lower gentry background), and society doesn't want to acknowledge that that is a relevant variable to their outrage. We're supposed to be beyond status distinctions, or seeing consensual sex as gross.

'Gentleman' and 'well bred' indicate a well mannered and well behaved male, with no implication of upper class background. A gentleman from the trailer park or the project wouldn't be the expected outcome, but it wouldn't shock anyone either. Conversely the badly behaved children of celebrities/european nobles are not gentlemen.

Nope. I have Indian wholesale antibiotics and recently got a second cat, I think the plague is irrelevant to me.

The definition of gentleman has actually changed though. Using it for the weird Norwegian royals(there are multiple) who don't meet the behavioral definition would be deeply nonstandard, while all of the wiki examples except Laverne Cox are central examples of the category 'woman' even if some of them have unusual lifestyle decisions.
Does his support for Putin actually do anything?
