In reply to the discussion: Worse for women than Trump? Bama sorority recruiting video under fire [View all]Orrex
(63,168 posts)75. Not affronted at all, thanks.
I know from long experience on DU that people will readily call out a perceived failure to address questions that they think are important. Specifically, they will declare the perceived failure to be a deliberate and significant denial. If you don't fall in that category, then this doesn't apply to you, but once bitten...
So I'm not "affronted" in the slightest. I'm simply explaining why I've declined to answer questions.
"college is where you learn that mistakes have consequences" - which made me roll my eyes.
That was indeed my statement, but I didn't state that the video is a mistake. That, I believe, is where you erred.
Your point should probably addressed to AngryAmish, who wrote
In college you are allowed to make mistakes.
So that's were the idea that the video is a "mistake" was introduced.
Glad to help.

No, because they're in a T & A production masquerading as a recruitment video. n/t

There are hundreds of stupid recruitment videos like this, I guess there is a lull in SJW material

"marketing to guys?" I never went to college, but I know what a sorority is.

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