Forbes article: Drunk Female Guests Are The Gravest Threat To Fraternities

[Sp5]

The old left opinion magazine The Nation just did an interesting piece on feminism and the police state.

The Nation: How feminists and liberals enabled the modern police state

“Carceral feminists,” the subject of a fair amount of recent talk and scholarship on the roots of anti-trafficking campaigns, is an unlovely phrase, but it usefully denotes a social force that elided personal power with state power, eschewed the project of liberation—the goal of a radically different set of power relations—and took as its armor the victim’s mantle.

Wesleyan banned all male fraternities on Monday. http://connecticut.cbslocal.com/2014/09/22/wesleyan-fraternities-ordered-to-go-coed/

From the article:

Wesleyan follows Trinity College in Hartford, which began the transition starting in 2012, citing problems with drinking and drug use in Greek organizations. It also comes less than a month after Wesleyan closed the Beta Theta Pi fraternity house after a woman attending a party there was seriously injured after falling from a third-floor window.

So men are punished because a woman got out of control. What are the chances a sorority would be closed after a drunk man hurt himself in the house? Zero, of course.

This is part of the feminist attack on men's free association and masculinity; they want to extirpate all male spaces whether they are fraternities, men's clubs, civic organizations, military units, sports, whatever, while building and encouraging female only organizations, of course without the slightest shame at the hypocrisy.

Their end goal is simply the de-masculinization of society and as to the reason for this I agree with Heartiste:" The eradication of men-only spaces is status quo elite insurance against rebellion."

Great article. Now how much you want to bet that author continues to vote for the same kinds of people who brought us those changes anyway?

They didn't ban the fraternities (yet) but are forcing the few with residential houses on campus to go co-ed. It's probably only a matter of time before they force all of them to be co-ed, residential or not.

What guy would want to join a co-ed fraternity? Isn't that kind of like paying dues for a t-shirt and living in the same dorm you were already in?

That article was too honest. Nobody can handle the truth nowadays. I had a discussion with my chapter brothers - they said it was brilliant. We want to drink, party and bang sluts and kicking drunk whores out is the best way to ensure we don't get in deep shit.

I may do a post/ submit an article to RoK on why the attack on fraternities indicates the death of American values. Fraternities are essentially a breeding ground for future leaders and prove that synergy works wonders. The person I was as a pledge and the person I am now are completely different. Take away Greek Life and you take away many men's chance of becoming better versions of themselves.

But feminists do tend to attack men deemed attractive, because they hate masculinity with a strong vigor. Even if colleges do ban fraternities, they will continue to exist as secret organizations. No way in hell a lot of them are selling/ renting out houses to GDIs. And they will maintain chapters even when fraternities are banned, it'll just be without letters outside the house or on clothes.

I implore you to write an article on the Attack of Fraternities.

Also, while many all male dorms are now becoming co-ed don't be surprised when more than a few all female dorms are instated.

Adding to your point, back when i was in college about 7 years ago, a guy fell out of the window and died partying at a frat. After a few articles in the school newspaper and a funnel, nothing else happen.

I will soon. I just have a busy course load this semester. But you can be assured that more colleges will ban them over the next 10 years. Fraternities are the new target for SJWs. Their influence over the country and University Boards is the only thing keeping the Greek system alive. Wait till universities start replacing their board of governors with younger non-greeks.

Also, fraternity men are easy targets. They're young, immature and do stupid things like every other college student. They also inspire a lot of jealousy and maintain traditional principles. Above all, they're smarter and tend to be much more successful than average. Combine that with the fact that they have penises and you understand why frumpy unsuccessful SJWs hate them

Bill Frezza is a friend of a friend on facebook. I sometimes see his comments on posts. He relishes taking on liberals, so he's probably enjoying every minute of this. My guess is that he's independently wealthy and likes spending time promoting conservative causes. And he's probably getting more publicity from being fired from Forbes than he was writing for them.

About this:

In our age of sexual equality, why drunk female students are almost never characterized as irresponsible jerks is a question I leave to the feminists. But it is precisely those 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.

I think, pointing out female privilege like that is more angering to feminists than any any of the reasons that they've stated. He's pointing out that women can always fall back on their sex appeal to avoid responsibility.

Excellent reply. Firm and unyielding. I wish all men under attack by SJW berserkers would do the same. The moment you start apologizing or explaining how you didn't mean it that way, they will become even more crazed and destroy you completely.

Sounds like an RVFer

I've not recieved a reply from Forbes but I bet it was a mangina or a woman who pulled the article. For example the Daily Mail would have run with that article and thought $$$$$$$

Well - Dailymail strangely enough publishes plenty of Red Pill wisdom, which produces click-bait-material, but sometimes gets full support by the comment section. They pull it off, because they can always excuse themselves to address a "lower" even sexist segment of society. Too bad that this kind of "sexism" is pure truth. Forbes, The Times & NY Beta Times have to pull the high-brow party line.

And it its possible that the author is independently wealthy and he does not give a shit about getting fired. A man on alimony payments and mortgaged to the hilt seldom rebels.

Bill Frezza won’t be keeping his gig as a Forbes contributor after he wrote a controversial article entitled “Drunk Female Guests Are the Gravest Threat to Fraternities” that didn’t sit well with readers. The piece was quickly taken down — although a cached version is still available — and a spokesperson for Forbes confirmed to the New York Daily News that Frezza will no longer contribute to the site.

Of course it "didn't sit well with readers". Hardcore politically-incorrect (dare I say socially unacceptable) truth rarely ever does. That's why there's almost always a shitstorm about what gets written on RoK, /r/TheRedPill, and the like.

Feminists don't like having the truth of their nature revealed and will fight tooth-and-nail to deny that truth when it comes to light. If you can't make coherent rebuttals (protip: they can't) then your only other option is attempting to silence dissent as we have seen here.

The ironic part of all of this is how common-sense advice suddenly becomes outrageous victim-blaming when women are asked to follow it in order to exercise some responsibility for their own safety.

For instance, take the following exert from Fodor's travel guides on FIVE SIMPLE RULES FOR TRAVEL SAFETY

FIVE SIMPLE RULES FOR TRAVEL SAFETY

By exercising the slightest amount of common sense, you can greatly reduce the chance that you will experience any serious incident, whether at home or abroad.

And what, pray tell, is number one on their list?

1. Don't drink to excess. Most vacation incidents involve alcohol abuse. Drunk travelers fall off cruise ships. They get mugged on dark streets. They crash their car. They decide to jump off their hotel balcony. Whether it's crime or accidents, drinking too much is very likely a contributing factor, if not the root cause."

Replace "falling off cruise ships" and "jumping off hotel balconies" with "falling out frat-house windows" and it's nearly the exact same advice that gets journalists vilified for victim-blaming.

If feminists controlled the travel industry the way the want to control frats, the above advice would be to ban cruise-ships and hotel balconies so chicks can't fall or jump off of them, and "DON'T TELL ME NOT TO DRINK, TEACH MUGGERS NOT TO MUG!"

 

[Slim Shady]

It is interesting also how any time you point out unacceptable truths to feminists, they immediately attack you personally. Like "I'm sure your daughter feels good about your beliefs" or attacking my man parts or man pride.

 

[lurker]

What's interesting is how, in the feminist response, the article became all about rape. The article is about personal injury and property damage liability - alcohol poisoning, falling from high places, breaking things in the house, fighting, etc. Rape accusations are one subpart of that, and not even the main danger he warns about. Yet when this hit Jezebel via Erin Gloria Ryan's semiliterate screed, rape was the only topic of conversation. It's almost as if these people have an agenda they want to push regardless of the context or background facts...

Comments section is surprisingly supportive.

By taking a long view of risks and rewards, Frezza’s column was an attempt to change how fraternities view their self-interest. Instead, it revealed how deeply young women -- or the Internet voices who speak for them -- are invested in the right to get wasted without condemnation or consequence.
