[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have none of you ever played on [b]a girls sports team or lived in a sorority house-[/b]-hell, even a dorm.  It isn't just males pulling this crap.  It is just males suffering the consequences.  [/quote]

I played soccer and lived in a sorority house. We didn't do any of that stuff. [/quote]

+1. I have no idea what the pp is talking about. What are you suggesting women do in these settings because I obviously missed the boat?[/quote]

True, ice hockey college team player here. We had and still have our ranking system for the guy athletes on campus. It goes both ways. [/quote]

Two different issues have been lumped together. Ranking the attractiveness of the opposite sex may be crude but there's nothing wrong with it, especially if it's private correspondence between friends.

However, these athletes were also found using racist, homophobic, and misogynist slurs. That's an actual problem. [/quote] Using them and acting on them are two different things.  I don't want to live in a society controlled by the thought police--no matter how disgusting I find their speech.  This is not the way to eradicate racism, homophobia or misogyny.  [/quote]

Well said.  You can't legislate or punish people into behaving the way you deem they should behave.  The thought police need to back off on this and let the kids figure this out themselves.  Sadly in life your feelings will get hurt, people will say things that upset you and you will have to learn how to deal with it or we will all be on meds trying to stay sane.  Life sometimes sucks, hopefully the non sucky times outweigh the sucky times.  [/quote]

Translate, as long as it sucks for them and not me all is well[/quote]
