Quote:The difference is there is a real, documented problem with men sexually assaulting and harassing women on college campuses, and college administrators are rightfully sensitive to public displays that objectify and degrade women.

 

Is the "P.S." in the bottom right corner of the banner displayed by the sorority degrading?

 

Quote:Without researching the source of each photo, I cannot determine if there is hypocrisy, nor do we know if any action was taken against the sorority. Personally, I find both both vulgar and offensive, but I'm not surprised they exist.

 

You seem to be missing the bigger picture, which is there exists a real, documented problem with sexual assaults and harassment committed by men on college campuses, and college administrators are well within their rights to address anything besmirching the image they wish to portray to recruits and parents. Of course there is a risk of a double standard, but that does not negate their right to take action.

 

Here is the thing though.  If you find both banners to be "vulgar and offensive", does that give you or anyone else the right to censor or stop these kids from expressing themselves?

 

The "bigger picture" is the subject of the thread, that being PC and how freedom of expression is limited.  Yes I do acknowledge and understand that there is a problem with sexual assault and harrassment on college campuses, but that's not what this thread is about.
