hey did this bother anyone else about this week's Dawson?
OK, so the fraternity has apparently accepted Jack as gay. Heck, they recruited him knowing it. But have they really accepted what that means?
They have a formal - i.e. a date party. But it's just assumed that Jack is supposed to bring a GIRL. If it's a date party, shouldn't you get to bring someone you are dating/are thinking about dating/want to date? They even say something like "Everyone gets laid tonight - oops, except you Jack! hahaha!" Like since he's gay he must therefore stay celibate in order to fit in?
I know Jack and Toby broke up, but why couldn't Jack bring another guy? Oh wait - he's been hanging out with his "neanderthal macho frat brothers" so of course he couldn't possibly have the opportunity to meet any nice sensitive gay guys, right?
Looks like they are playing into the stereotype that gay guys attract girls. Look how they begged him to bring "some of those hot Worthington girls you hang out with." If the fraternity's goal really is "everyone gets laid" then Jack is an asset. Not only will Jack set a brother up with a date, but he'll also bring along a date himself that he won't hook up with, so if another brother's date isn't any fun, then there's a "spare girl."
Give me a break!
