University of Alabama - “ peak neo-antebellum white Southern culture” - NYT

Angry woman from NYT big mad that Bama girls are hot and also big mad that outsiders think the Bama girls are hot also.

“ Their Southern accents are the linguistic equivalent of pointing a ring light at their shiny hair and tasteful makeup. ”

“ that accent is seductive. It says these are ideal women from a regional culture that values traditional gender norms ”

“ these sororities’ annual viral juggernaut is counterprogramming to the Northeastern elite university brand. The Bama version is wholesome, nonthreatening, traditional femininity in Lululemon athleisure. ”

The whole article is a must read

I don’t even like the Greek system and I thought that article sounded incredibly petulant and whiny.

Do you write the chrome for Fox News or something? The article is a bit tiresome but in a boring format overwrought essay way and your excerpt “summary” is absurd.

Oh no! Shiny hair and tasteful makeup!! Evil, evil temptress girls.

The article is just paragraphs and paragraphs of pathetic bile by some silly woman with a major case of FOMO.

Of course the NYT will print anything she has to say, which begs the question about who is actually the more privileged in 2023 - the hot White sorority sisters or the angry Black “journalist.”

She's not a journalist. She's a sociologist and essayist.
