I think a lot of you know from other threads that I am a very outspoken advocate against rape culture, both on GC and IRL, but this incident just doesn't get me that riled up. I think it's because wanting to meet/check out the new freshmen women is such a normal, harmless thing. Who among us, when single, hasn't walked into a party and looked around to see who of our preferred gender might be there alone?
Jumping from "men want to meet the new women on campus" to "men only think of the new women on campus as objects to fulfill their sexual needs" is exactly the the type of mars/venus-divide thinking that actually reinforces rape culture.
The signs were pretty tacky, and not very funny, but if anything, I think they just kinda make the guys look like desperate losers more than predators.
