Comments on: Questioning the Feminism of Yale’s Sororities http://broadrecognition.com/politics/questioning-the-feminism-of-yale%e2%80%99s-sororities/ A Feminist Magazine at Yale Mon, 21 May 2012 02:19:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: really http://broadrecognition.com/politics/questioning-the-feminism-of-yale%e2%80%99s-sororities/#comment-1552 really Mon, 11 Jul 2011 20:13:08 +0000 http://www.broadrecognition.com/?p=754#comment-1552 what is with the photo illustration that accompanies this article? are you trying to point out some kind of irony by implying that pi phi's "values" don't match the underwear it has as sorority merchandise? are you saying that women who wear that kind of underwear don't actually have "values"? this whole article, frankly, comes off as pretty anti-feminist itself. rather than focus on legitimate critiques of yale's sororities, particularly the shady process of choosing new members -- i've heard stories of girls being rejected for being ugly or "slut" -- this article wastes time implying that there's something wrong with yale's sororities because they make silly videos that are ridiculed on ivygate. chase's quote and the issue of sororities not speaking out about the zeta incident were totally relevant and interesting, but they were buried under the completely unrelated rush video anecdotes and that offensive picture illustration. what is with the photo illustration that accompanies this article? are you trying to point out some kind of irony by implying that pi phi’s “values” don’t match the underwear it has as sorority merchandise? are you saying that women who wear that kind of underwear don’t actually have “values”? this whole article, frankly, comes off as pretty anti-feminist itself. rather than focus on legitimate critiques of yale’s sororities, particularly the shady process of choosing new members — i’ve heard stories of girls being rejected for being ugly or “slut” — this article wastes time implying that there’s something wrong with yale’s sororities because they make silly videos that are ridiculed on ivygate.

When they do it in an organized group, it's degrading and anti-feminist. Gotcha.
