Well the point I'm trying to make is that in each of the previous incidents MORE people were offended than were not. It wasn't an isolated incident, there was national coverage and sanctions by EACH of the universities and governing bodies of the fraternities. How could you NOT know the possibility that offending someone exists, even if you JUST look at the other inicidents in Oklahoma, Tennesee, Ohio etc etc, and if it does why do it. Are there times when I have unintentionally offended someone? Yes but the difference is I was woman enough to admit that I had and take responsibility for it by apologizing and trying to figure out why. That is something this chapter has YET to demonstrate.
