Yale - Femi-cunts on the warpath

[John in Woodbridge]

Members of the Yale Women’s Center board threatened to initiate legal action Sunday after discovering a photograph posted on Facebook.com depicting 12 Yale students affiliated with the Zeta Psi fraternity posing in front of the Center with a sign reading “We Love Yale Sluts.”

The picture made its rounds through e-mail inboxes around Yale’s campus Sunday night, enraging some members of the University community offended by what they perceived to be its misogynistic overtones. The men photographed in front of the Women’s Center are Zeta Psi “pledges” — students attempting to join the fraternity.

The photo was removed from Facebook.com later Sunday night.

The Women’s Center board is contemplating legal action against the fraternity, the University and the individuals in the photograph on grounds of sexual harassment and defamation, said Chase Olivarius-McAllister ’09, the Center’s former political-action coordinator.

In an apologetic statement sent to the Women’s Center board Sunday night and published in today’s News, Zeta Psi Eta Chapter President Jonathan Charest ’10 said he hopes to resolve the situation with the directors of the Women’s Center themselves.

“The officers of the fraternity are open and willing to meet with the leaders of the Yale Women’s Center to discuss this issue further and address solutions of this kind of irresponsible behavior,” he wrote.

Since sending the statement, Charest said, he has received no response from the Center. Charest and other members of the fraternity declined further comment.

But the fraternity’s apology was “not enough” for the directors of the Women’s Center, who outlined their reaction to the event and the subsequent apology in a column in today’s News. In the column, the directors wrote that the fraternity only apologized when threatened with legal action and said the situation is akin to white students’ holding up a sign with a racial epithet in front of a cultural house.

Former Women’s Center Public Relations Coordinator Jessica Svendsen ’09 said she found a group of men chanting “Dick! Dick! Dick!” in front of the Elm Street entrance to the Center, which is located in Durfee Hall, shortly before midnight last Tuesday. Frightened, she decided to take a detour through the Center’s Old Campus entrance, she said.

“I stopped even before I got to Durfee, because I recognized that as a single woman facing 20 to 25 frat boys, I wasn’t going to be able to enter the Women’s Center,” Svendsen said. “This was my first experience knowing that misogyny does happen at Yale — and right in front of the Women’s Center door.”

The photo appeared on Facebook the next day.

Sunday night, Kathryn Olivarius ‘11, the Center’s constituency director — and Olivarius-McAllister’s sister — said the Women’s Center became aware of the photograph when a friend showed it to her.

The Center forwarded the picture around campus in an e-mail with the subject “This Time We Sue,” sent from [email protected]. “This is sexual harassment,” read the enclosed message. “Lawyers have been consulted, and we are taking legal action.”

Women’s Center directors said that as of Sunday they had contacted two attorneys, who had tentatively agreed to do pro bono work on behalf of the Center in the case. The Center declined to release the names of the lawyers.

According to Connecticut State law, sexual harassment consists of “any unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors or any conduct of a sexual nature … when such conduct has the purpose or effect of substantially interfering the individual’s work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working environment.”

The University’s policy defines harassment in roughly the same terms, adding that “more subtle incidents may also be considered sexual harassment.” Harassment can also include “taunting jokes directed at a person or persons by reason of their sex, [and] obscene posters with sexual connotations … .”

Olivarius-McCallister said the Center will pursue legal action as quickly as possible. Hannah Burnett ’08, the Center’s outreach coordinator, said she thinks a lawsuit is justified because the administration’s response to what she called racist graffiti found on University property in November proved ineffective.

“Look how little impact the administration actually has had,” Burnett said. “Based purely on what happened here, it shows that talking to the administration isn’t necessarily the most effective way to go about it.”

Dean of Student Affairs Marichal Gentry, to whom complaints of sexual harassment are referred under University protocol, could not be reached for comment Monday.

Regardless of whether the Center has standing to sue, Zeta Psi’s Yale chapter could also face penalties from the national organization, pending an investigation of the incident. The photo may be in violation of the national organization’s risk-management guidelines.

“The fraternity will not tolerate or condone any form of sexually abusive behavior on the part of its members,” the policy reads. “This is to include any actions which are demeaning to women and/or men, including but not limited to date rape, gang rape, or verbal harassment.”

Such violations, though investigated on a case-by-case basis by the national organization, could ultimately lead to the revocation of Zeta Psi’s charter by the national organization.

National-chapter officials declined to comment on the incident. They said they will have no comment on the matter until further investigation takes place.

The Yale Women’s Center, according to its Web site, works to “break down societal gender structures and roles and to ensure every woman’s right to reproductive freedom, a voice, freedom of sexuality … and economic, political, and educational equality.”

Imagine, if you will, a winter night at Yale. A group of Caucasian students, perhaps intoxicated, perhaps just seeking good times, have gathered in front of a campus cultural house. They are pledges of the Yale chapter of a nationwide, all-white organization. According to plan, one whips out a digital camera. Another proudly clutches a type-written sign. Thrilled, the pledges crowd around the sign and smile lasciviously at the camera. They pose. A picture is taken.

The building: the Af-Am house. The sign: “WE LOVE YALE N-GGERS.”

If this happened, would an apology suffice?

This analogy is imperfect. It is only a crude attempt to portray the emotional and psychological violence of hate speech.

The gentlemen of Zeta Psi have apologized to “YALE SLUTS” — but only for what they thought they’d been caught for. They didn’t apologize for chanting “dick” outside the Women’s Center before their photo-op, and intimidating a female student from entering the Center (which, by the way, services rape victims — roughly 25 percent of women). They didn’t apologize for using the word “slut,” and being proud of it. They didn’t apologize for committing premeditated hate speech, for documenting that hate speech with pride, or for exalting it on Facebook.

And they didn’t apologize at all until we threatened legal action. The bigotry of Zeta Psi is unexceptional. It is pervasive, at Yale and around the world. This sort of behavior has to change, everywhere, here, and right now.

These men’s behavior is inexcusable. They are amongst the most privileged boys on the planet, with access to the best education the world has to offer. They knew this was wrong. They knew why this was wrong. Yet it still happened. And it will continue to happen until systemic change is made.

Yale’s sexists love to say that feminists have no sense of humor. Here’s a good joke: lawyer up.

Presca Ahn, Hannah Burnett, Stacey Fitzgerald, Claire Gordon, Chase Olivarius-McAllister, Kathryn Olivarius, Liz Olson, Isabel Polon, Valerie Steinberg, Jessica Svendsen and Lorraine Van Kirk are the members of the Yale Women’s Center Board.

When I was in college I got fined like $50 for saying to a female RA, "Relax, babe, it's Friday night."

Thing about these feminists, they contribut nothing. No pussy, no scholarship, no humor - they have NOTHING to offer. Sodality of the pursed lips. Begone ye vile twats.

That is exactly why lesbians need to go. At least fags redecorate niggerfuxated houses, infect niggers with aids, and then die off young. Lesbians and feminists are nothing but a vacuum of humor, free speech, and beauty, and if they have children they fill them with a boiling hatred for manhood. They are intrinsically indignant over things they have no right to judge and are just plain worthless to the world. In their case I would support these women in the military, preferably on suicide bomb missions into throngs of mexicans.

It's good to see elite White men such as Yale or Duke students get smacked by political correctness, because this is sowing the seed of bringing them to our side. They shouldn't be enjoying life in the jew system; they should be kicked like dogs and made to hate it as we hate it.

Just as jews have a generalized resentment of Aryans bred into them from birth, we need Whites to have a generalized hatred of the System. We need to become the "enemies in the gates" en masse.

I'd like to come up with a slogan to answer these sort of events, such as "Bite your tongue and bide your time," because in my experience, you always get a chance, sooner or later, to get some power over the enemy. The trick, of course, is that the enemy not realize that you are an enemy. They need to think we are "allies." Eventually they will do something that compromises them personally and/or their movement. For example, it would be priceless for a WN college student to join a multicultural society and get video/audio of the multicultists saying how they hope White babies are aborted, they are glad Whites are being killed in South Africa, etc. They feel pretty free to say that sort of stuff. Then, years later, when said multicultists are running for office, release the tape!

Once again, "womyn" in desperate need of cock have to suck the fun out of everything because they're too uptight to put the thing they really need/want in their mouths! I think the Yale sluts sign is funny. If they're so worried about rape victims they need to fight for a segregated campus, or concealed carries at minimum.

This is the other thing. These wimmin are dishrags. Supposedly they're among the smartest in the land. Do they come up with some clever way to get back at the boys? No, they start crying and playing lawyerball. They are not strong women, they're crybabies taking up spots that rightfully belong to competent White male students who are discriminated against.

MTV generation women want the freedom to act like sluts, without being named sluts.

Personally I don't pay too much attention to feminism, its just another cult of the jew.

You know, I never really thought of it that way but gosh darn it, you're right. And it seems the Yale frat boys agree with you.

You gotta be kidding.

Was this the 80s?

Anyway, while in college I played it safe by not even saying boo to most people.

I was too busy studying rather than drinking and boozing anyway.

Is this what college is these days? Parents spend thousands of dollars to send kids (most not deserving) just so they can whore themselves out at drug/alcohol infested parties.

No wonder America is considered so fucking dumb.

LOL! That's great! "Solidarity of th epursed lips." I'll have to use that sometimes (with full credit of course).
