USC Fratboy Email Calls Women “Targets;” Declares “Giving Them A Name Is Pointless” [View all]

[one_voice]

In another “isolated incident” involving a college fraternity advocating misogyny of the highest order, an email has been circulating around the campus of the University of Southern California that, at first blush, would appear to be a tasteless joke. Unfortunately this does not seem to be the case and, as the email lists the Kappa Sigma fraternity as its source, is under investigation by the Kappa Sigma Fraternity nationals.

The author of the email celebrates the concept of getting a woman drunk for the purposes of taking advantage of her. He calls it “loop n’ doop” and cautions potential “cocksmen” to “Be careful with loop n’ doops, because too much loop and they will get sick and be useless entities.” Entities. Not people. Entities.

The worst part about this email, to me at least, is that the author is fully aware of what rape culture is and advises his fellow cretins on how to use it to their advantage:

Non-consent and rape are two different things. There is a fine line, so make sure not to cross it.

When utilizing the loop power of 4 Lokos, be careful. A target on one 4 Loko is putting the odds in your favor of getting some pie. A target on two 4 Lokos is going to get sick and pass out. A target on three 4 Lokos leads to instances of litigation and lawsuits. Terms like “sexual assault” seem to be used in this case.

I would love to say “He thinks there’s no difference between non-consent and rape? Boy, is he in for a surprise when his inevitable court date comes up!” But I can’t and this piece of dirt knows it. You see, in rape culture, it’s possible for non-consensual sex to NOT be rape. Was the woman drinking? On drugs? Was she dressed like a whore? Well, then she must have wanted it on some level so it can’t possibly be rape even if she was screaming and crying the whole time. See how this works? The author certainly does.
