Take Back the Night from Barstool's BC Blackout: 3-28-12
On a day where BC survivors of sexual assault share their stories, we as a community listen, support, and empower others to advocate and continue on the fight for a safer campus. On the other side of the spectrum, students will be partying on an event organized by Barstool Sports, a group that condones and mocks the rape culture. This is a call to BC students and members of the greater community to be men and women for others by refusing to support violent rhetoric, even in the name of satire or not-so-funny humor, which contributes to a culture that blames victims and condones rape.
By signing this petition I am supporting survivors of sexual assault and not condoning the rape culture that barstool sports blog perpetuates.
"Just to make friends with the feminists, I'd like to reiterate that we don't condone rape of any kind at our Blackout Parties in mid January. However, if a chick passes out, that's a grey area though." - Barstool Sports
"[E]ven though I never condone rape, if you're a size 6 and you're wearing skinny jeans you kind of deserve to be raped right? I mean skinny jeans don't look good on size 0 and 2 chicks, nevermind size 6s. So it's almost like this guy had no choice but to teach her a lesson." -Barstool Sports
