HAMILTON, NY — The world has sat back in shock as countless women have come out with stories of sexual assault and harassment against big names in Hollywood, most notably Harvey Weinstein. Weinstein was the first to fall, and since the story of his crimes was published, countless women have been empowered to come forward about their assaults, resulting in the firing of Matt Lauer and substantiated accusations of sexual misconduct against the comedian Louis C.K. No one is really surprised by the crimes or that they were committed by powerful white men, the real kicker is that they’re facing consequences for what they’ve done.
“I mean it’s kinda crazy to think a serial rapist with power and privilege would actually have to be accountable for what he did,” said senior Macy Blahblahblah, “that’s just like, unheard of at Colgate.” Many other students have expressed the same surprise as Macy. “Yeah like I’m all about smashing the patriarchy, man, and these Hollywood babes are kicking ass and taking names, man, I dig it bro,” commented sophomore JB ski team member Tucker HkjsFADJAH, “it must be way easier since they don’t have to go through a bunch of university bureaucracy bullshit to get justice and stuff.”
Everyone is generally inspired by the action being taken throughout the industry, but realizes it makes the lack thereof at Colgate suck that much more. “I just feel like, yah know, we all know the Black List exists, and like it’s the same deal as Weinstein where everyone knows a little piece of the story and we just don’t do anything,” GPhi sophomore Leandra Lksjdhflkaj said. “Like, Hollywood is literally going through its Black List and crossing off names, rapid fire. I love it, even if it did ruin House of Cards,” she continued.
The Monthly Rag reached out for comment from Colgate’s Board of Trustees in regards to them being shown up by one of the most notoriously sexist industries in the world, but all they would say is, “at least we’re doing better than Congress.”
