Embarrassing
I am embarrassed to say in my day we would have thought that whole thing was really cool and funny (if you adjust the expectations of raunchiness to match the music now- which is way worse then back then). We made up all sorts of inappropriate songs to match the sweet sorority songs and thought we were pretty hilarious. We were a party group, which I think this group is too.
I am not making excuses because if nothing else their song was stupid and degrading to women when there are enough men around to degrade us- we shouldn't do it to ourselves. But I see that they were trying to be hip hop and act like Nicki Manaj or whatever and it really was more stupid than anything else. I hope they don't close the chapter over it- maybe just make them not socialize for a semester, study a bit more and get better taste in music. Maybe a sensitivity course about sexual assault and how it isn't funny.
But I am a very upstanding citizen now and I have to admit that I could have been right there with them, being stupid at the age of 19.
