Sorority Recruitment Video Objectifying?

[Clyde]

There are "all Black" fraternities and sororities at most colleges. Are you offended by that too or is that ok?

 

I am not offended by any fraternities/sororities so what is your point?

[Jim Schue]

Is it a big deal? No.

 

Is it shocking that there's a lack of diversity? No.

 

Is it objectifying of females? Of course it is.

 

It was only a few beers and a dog short of a Spuds McKenzie Bud Light commercial.

Well done, sir.

 

Add in girls jumping on a trampoline and you've got a viral Facebook video.

I misunderstood what you were saying. My bad :thumb:

No sweat.

So who is really offended by this? Just because the internet/media tells us that? I don't see anyone in this thread who is offended at all.

There are women, adult women, who are fighting a battle that says to the world to look at women for who they are and what their abilities are vs how pretty they are, how nice their rack is, or how round their booty is.

 

That's not an unreasonable request IMO. Those women are the ones who are offended by this. It hurts a just cause.

 

No one enjoys attractive women more than me but I also have a wife and daughter who I want people to look at with respect and for who they are.

 

I get why some are bothered.

[Clyde]

I'd also be bothered if I was the national arm of the sorority. Read the sorority website about who they are and none of it is reflected in that "recruiting" video.

They should be offended by the girls posting half-naked selfies on social media (and accruing hundreds of thousands worth of followers), not a couple college girls having fun & making a recruitment video.

It's all the same issue. Same message.

But why should those women have any say how all women should act. They should worry about themselves

And none of it should be an issue if women are doing it on their own free will. Just because some women don't like it , does not mean all women feel the same. Neither opinion should matter any more than the other.

This video is Rated G compared to so many rap videos out there. Hell, the Thong Song was probably #1 on TRL for 4-5 weeks in a row back in the day.

[MJAlltheWay24]

If you changed the song to Florida Georgia Line and had those guys pop in a few scenes, this would have been on CMT and no issues, except for Bro Country haters.

 

Its all because people want to try and dictate how fraternities and sororities should behave and/or how diverse they should be.

They can express an opinion, right?
