Related: About this forumA Voice for Men’s Paul Elam blames rape chants at Canadian schools on feminism
Since we're on the topic;
You might not think that student orientation events would be an appropriate venue for chants celebrating the rape of underage girls. But such chants have apparently been something of a tradition at not one but two Canadian schools and possibly more? Last week, a scandal erupted at the University of British Columbia after word got out that an orientation event at its Saunder School of Business had included a chant on this particular theme, led by orientation leaders from the Commerce Undergraduate Society.
According to one woman who disgustedly live-tweeted the event, it went something like this:
Y-O-U-N-G at UBC, we like em young, Y is for your sister, O is for oh so tight, U is for underage, N is for no consent, G is for go to jail.
Meanwhile, in Halifax, someone made a video and posted it to YouTube of student orientation leaders at Saint Marys University chanting a nearly identical chant.
Naturally, noted, er, human rights activist Paul Elam of A Voice for Men felt compelled to weigh in on the issue. He started off by expressing his deep disgust with having to hear anything about the issue at all:
I swear if I read one more outraged report aka feverish, paranoid rant that twists something stupid into evidence of a rape culture, I am going to just lose it.
Yes, how outrageous that a chant joking about raping underage girls at an official school orientation event could possibly be construed as contributing in any way to rape culture! So sorry that your delicate sensitivities were offended, Paul.
After some more predictable histrionics on this hyper-hipster-hysteria from Mr. Elam, he got to his main point: blaming feminists for the rape chants.
No, really.

(110,159 posts)3. the thing is, we see in that other thread, that SOME men cant help pedophilia. really. wired.
seems like a hell of a lot of sick, perverted, wired wanting to be pedophilia. i tend to say it is more culture learned. and i am saying most of these little brains really arent after young girls, but play the macho male game of these fuckin disgusting chants cause it makes them feel manly, dominate and in control. it has nothing to do with wiring, what they are attracted to and all to do with putting women, and their fellow female students in place in a subservient role.
