In my last post I noted that Women, Race &: Class by Angela Davis is a fantastic book. One of the chapters in said book addresses the myth of the black rapist. So today, when I stumbled across this, I couldn't help by blog about it.
The story here is that a frat at Yale went to the first years' dorms and chanted "no means yes, yes means anal." I don't think I'd find that a welcoming speech if I were, say, a first year female student at Yale. Welcome to the Ivy league, ladies. There's also a clip where you can hear the actual chanting.
No means different things for different people?
I found Michael Kimmel's analysis to be quite interesting: http://msmagazine.com/blog/blog/2010/10/17/the-men-and-women-of-yale/
