So, some back story. I attend Harvey Mudd College, a small tech school at the very eastern edge of LA County. We're part of a consortium of 5 colleges called the Claremont Colleges (there are two grad schools, but nobody cares). The other four schools are Pitzer, Claremont McKenna (CMC), Pomona, and Scripps (the aforementioned women's college). Each school has a pretty strong, well-known stereotype. Mudd is full of geeks, Pitzer hippies, CMC jocks/Republicans, Pomona elitists, and Scripps is full of feminist nutjobs.
Okay, that was the where. Now the who: the Claremont Colleges Rowing Club (CCRC). We don't have an official rowing team on campus, so they're the stand-in. They have to fund themselves, so two years ago, they decided to sell T-shirts for a fundraiser. There was one for each school with a one-liner about the school's stereotype. The best was for Pomona: There is no Pomona Street at Harvard. (It's funny because a lot of the streets around here are named after the Ivies.) Anyway, two years later, and the shirts are on their third revision. This year's Scripps shirt? "Men don't go here, but they do come here." Funny, and true on a number of counts.
Well, a few Scripps students were less than amused, and as college students out to change the world, they did the one thing they could. Yes, they made a Facebook group. They also made the giant leap from men orgasming to sexual assault. Apparently, men can't have an orgasm without oppressing a woman somewhere. I don't know about you, but I find the whole thing ridiculously amusing. A friend of mine made a
parody T-shirt.
I like your parody shirt.
