We learned earlier today that evil females are trying to destroy one of the few remaining safe spaces for men in our culture – professional football. Now we learn that evil drunk females have their blurry sights set on another man space: College fraternities.
The brave soul bringing this crucial information to the men of the world? The impressively tan frat man Bill Frezza, who presented his case in a post on Forbes.com with the subtle title
Alas, the Femborg Collective must have caught wind of this little breach in security. The piece was quickly taken down, and Frezza was relieved of his duties as a contributor to Forbes. (You can still see the Google cache version here though.)
So what did brother Frezza argue? Basically, that drunken women are actively infiltrating American frats – and threatening to bring them down by being drunk and female. While frat brothers are carefully policed by well-meaning elders like Frezza – the head of the alumni house corporation for his MIT fraternity – the ladies are uncontrolled and uncontrollable:
Fraternity alumni boards, working with chapter officers, employ a variety of policies designed to guide and police member behavior. Our own risk management manual exceeds 22 pages. The number of rules and procedures that have to be followed to run a party nowadays would astound anyone over 40. We take the rules very seriously, so much so that brothers who flout these policies can, and will, be asked to move out. But we have very little control over women who walk in the door carrying enough pre-gaming booze in their bellies to render them unconscious before the night is through.
(Emphasis mine.)
Damn those drunk gals, all liquored-up on booze that our frat brothers didn’t provide, honest, come on we all know those bitches were drunk when they got here right fellas let’s keep our goddamn stories straight.
Yes, boozed up males also show up at parties, sometimes mobs of them disturbing the peace on the front steps. But few are allowed in, especially if they are strangers. … [I]t is … irresponsible women that the brothers must be trained to identify and protect against, because all it takes is one to bring an entire fraternity system down.
So how exactly do these terrible gals do their damage? A variety of devious ways.
Alcohol poisoning due to overconsumption before, during, or after an event. Death or grievous injury as a result of falling down the stairs or off a balcony. Death or grievous injury as a result of a pedestrian or traffic accident as the young lady weaves her way home.
That’s right. Some of these gals are apparently willing to give up their own lives in order to make frats look bad.
Oh, but some use an even more devious weapon:
False accusation of rape months after the fact triggered by regrets over a drunken hook-up, or anger over a failed relationship. And false 911 calls accusing our members of gang rape during a party in progress.
It’s gotten so bad that Frezza feels compelled to tell young frat brothers that maybe it’s not such a good idea to have sex with drunken women, or even to bring them to your room for a game of Jenga.
Never, ever take a drunk female guest to your bedroom – even if you have a signed contract indicating sexual consent. Based on new standards being promulgated on campus, all consent is null and void the minute a woman becomes intoxicated – even if she is your fiancée.
The solution? Lower the drinking age to 18. That’ll show ’em!
No, really.
Unless and until the drinking age is reduced to 18, students relearn how to pace themselves while drinking, and individuals are held responsible for the consequences of their own behavior, rather than blaming the institutions that house and educate them, the only defense is extreme vigilance.
This is how you can tell that Frezza really did go to MIT. Because this is STEM logic at its finest.
Oh, I noticed this at the end of his piece:
Bill Frezza is the President of The Beta Foundation, the house corporation for the Chi Phi fraternity at MIT.
Ha ha, what a beta. He’s so beta he’s the president of Betas.
wordsp1nner:
o_O He urinated on her yarn and all he got was to be the subject of an embarrassing anecdote on the dangers of drug use? I’d say he got off easy.
If that is what you think is being criticized here you need to have your self a reread of the article. You didn’t just miss the point, you missed the set and the match as well.
I know! I told him he was lucky she didn’t stab him with a knitting needle.
But she used his name, so…
WOMEN ARE TREES. STOP THE PRESSES. WOMEN ARE TREES.
THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. WOMEN ARE TREEEEEEEEES.
I AM GROOT.

GROOT IS FUCKING ADORABLE.

GNL: fuck off.
Can we get a challenge for him? Like he has to be interesting or something.
Groot is not a tree. Criminy! And neither are women.
cloudiah, if watching Idris Elba and Charlie Hunnam is wrong, I don’t wanna be right.
I AM TREEEEEEEEEEEEE
(i am also sleeeepy)
Actual footage of women destroying a fraternity.
Well, really, it’s the ents destroying Isengard. But same difference, right?
Do not blame the trees if they crush your house and do not blame the drunk women if they destroy your frat house. They are both forces of nature and cannot be held responsible for the damage they do.
ummmmm nope.
I think that I shall never see / A rapist lovely as a tree
If on my house a tree should fall / GNL’s not who I’d call
Cloudiah: THIS IS A GAME CHANGER. WOMEN ARE TREEEEEEEEES.
Pollinate off – you’re drunk.
A woman threatens a fraternity:
The last big storm to come through western Oregon knocked down a tree in my neighbor’s yard that decapitated one of their decorative Christmas deer. No video, unfortunately.
Oh God, cloudiah, whatever you do, DO NOT TAKE YOURSELF TO BED! Even if you have a signed agreement from yourself!
It’s true that I am slightly drunk. But I am going to bed nonetheless, since (as a bona fide feminist) I only live with (female) cats.
By “slightly drunk” I mean “drunk”. But look how I can still type.
I AM TREEEEEEEEE
Feminist killjoy
