This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Former Frat Bro here.
I never saw it happen, never heard about it happening, never heard about guys wanting to do it even in a joking way. I graduated well before MeToo etc. happened but, even back then, we would have pre-party "briefings" where we reminded everyone that if a girl started to slur, wobble etc. To point her out to one of the designated sober brothers to get her off the property and, if necessary, call medical services etc.
It was a liability thing. Liability in the insurance sense (if someone gets over-served at your frat house and hurts themselves, it can actually be kind of a grey area), but also - moreso - in the reputational sense. We didn't want to be the House that girls saw as "the House where you always somehow leave really fucked up." That's an awful reputation to have. We, the brothers, definitely got shitty on the regular (to much rejoicing) but we never liked girls showing up plastered and certainly not getting plastered in the house. In fact, we didn't really like non-brothers non-friends-of-the-frat getting wasted because we couldn't predict their behavior.
I'll be the first to admit that Frat dudes do a lot of dumb stuff - but it's mostly very obvious, juvenile dumb stuff. Most Frat antics are like the early seasons of Jackass. Most of the hard drinking results in passing out on a couch. The sometimes reputation of Frats as these complex networks of coordinated sexual assault is pure fiction.
Because I can't resist a good story in this context - One time, we had a mixer with one of the sororities. This was known as the "Hot" sorority, so we all tried to look good and stay on our best behavior. While pleasant, they definitely were not "passing the vibe check." As time passes, there is much checking of the watches and dwindling of conversation. Our social chair - who earned that motherfucking title - is suddenly on his flip phone (yeah) in the corner dialing up half his phone book. He gives me an assured nod. 20 minutes later, about 15 ladies from a different sorority show up. Cue record scratch, cue "uh oh spaghetti ohs". Queen Bee A and Queen Bee B exchange some awkardness, mumbles about this being an "exclusive mixer" echo through the crowd. Social Chair (fucking earned it) announces "settle it with beer pong!"
3 straight hours of sorority on sorority combative beer pong. 2 dozen frat dudes ripping shots and heaters taking bets round by round. The winning team at the end of the night puked the champion's puke, the losers walked in soggy wedge heels home, stomachs intact but hearts empty.
God bless you, Craig.
