In reply to the discussion: Worse for women than Trump? Bama sorority recruiting video under fire [View all]hamsterjill
(15,220 posts)24. I find it idiotic.
Yes, I think it's a step backwards. It says to me, " Send your daughter to this school and pledge her to this sorority if you want her to be a trophy wife."
There are many young women making tremendous contributions to the world at large in today's environment. Pilots, doctors, teachers, and the list goes on. In my opinion, we need to celebrate those young women who are using their brains rather than celebrating a video made to objectify a certain typecast of what is "beauty".

No, the rhetoric is very simple to grasp. It's just that most people see through it.
