I'm not upset that the women spoke out for what they believed, what I am upset about is that one of my sisters (as I understand the article) lumped me into a place where I have never been... submissive. I was not brought up to be submissive to the white man or the MAN for that matter.
Why is it that I cannot be an American greek, who just happens to live in the south and take pride in the south and my state, my heritage, and just happen to not be submissive to the "Man"?
As to the whole voting thing... it is just like with Americans today, we don't vote... it isn't that we are abstaining from the vote... we don't take the 5.6 sec it takes to walk into a polling place... away from the tv and the supersize fries, and press the button or punch the hole, or push the screen... I agree that if the student body would vote, with or without the machine, just vote... this wouldn't be an issue because the majority would win out.
I'm sorry that either of those women felt that their life was in danger or that they were being disinfranchised, that is wrong. I just hope that them and their campus will be able to see through the crazyness of all this and come back together one day.
