The Rules According to a Fraternity "Cocksman"

This is just jaw-dropping BAD.
Frat Email Explains Women Are "Targets," Not "Actual People"
A long intro to story-one that maybe all some need to read:

The whole story and the e-mail:

Like a commenter said, this is some douchecanoe pretending he's Tucker Max. Undoubtedly all talk, just as my friends and I were in junior high when we pretended to be Valley Girls. The less attention given to this dude, the better - more than likely he's angling for some sort of writing job (this is LA, mensas) and any publicity he gets, bad or good, will just improve his chances.

The real crime here is that he isn't even funny.

33girl: The way I read the stories, this douchecanoe (and I would use stronger terms in private) is rather real.
Perhaps we should just leave it up to USC and Kappa Sigma's National to figure it out.
Real or not, this goes way beyond a Hollywood or Madison Ave writing audition.

And DeltaBetaBaby I agree with you-There is no humor in anything he wrote.

It wasn't that funny. He went for crude over creative.

However, eliminating some of the crudeness, parts of this are not uncommon types of conversation, among men.

James: There are a great many ideas and thoughts that maybe common types of conversation among certain groups.

Does that make any of them correct, proper and decedent?

When I spoke, last night, to a Chapter EA he was sicken and disgusted by what he saw. And planned to have a meeting with the Men of the chapter to make it very clear that this line of thought is not condoned.

Well I hope and pray the originator of the email was not a Kappa Sig. If he was I "pity the fool" as our alums will insist that he be expelled from the fraternity and hound him to the gates of hell.

My suspicion is that the writer is not a Kappa Sig or a member of a fraternity at USC. If he is, he is really stupid as he will be outed for what he is. A true dumbass. We shall soon see as USC says the writer was not a student there.

There's been some speculation of a cover-up.

I wouldn't believe anything re this incident that I read on Jezebel. They have a very clear agenda. That's proven by the fact that you have to be "approved" to post there, even about something as innocuous as children's books.

I. CANNOT. STAND. JEZEBEL.

At first, it was fun--a cheeky reaction to women's magazines, etc. Now it's just a lot of self-serving harpies who have taken the fun out of feminism.

A. The OP in this thread has a link from Jezebel. This is their follow-up. Hence the link from Jezebel (although they're actually re-posting something from ONTD Feminism - which I can't get to at work anyway).
2. The tiers of commenting is on all GawkerMedia sites (Gizmodo, Gawker, Lifehacker, i09) and is really fucking annoying. It does not prove Jezebel's agenda since the commenters on GawkerMedia sites outside of Jezebel display the most grotesque misogynistic thought processes I've ever had the "pleasure" of reading. Don't disagree with you about Jezebel's agenda, however.
C. There was a reason I used the word "speculation" and not "THIS IS TOTALLY A COVER-UP."
