Good News for pretty much everyone
HT: Pharyngula
A young lady was able to get a Girls Gone Wild event cancelled in her area. Kudos to her. I use to think that GGW was just harmless stupid fun that young people are fond of doing. That is until I read the infamous latimes story about Joe Francis the purveyor of this enterprise. That chilling story coupled with the fact that I was expecting a baby girl really soured my opinion of the entire enterprise.
Indeed, it's as Carol McCord (a former? student that got it cancelled) says: "It's not that we are against women having the right to choose what they want to do with their bodies," McCord said. "If a woman chooses to go into the bus or about making pornography that's different to me than her being coerced when drunk and someone getting rich off of it. As an advocate for women, I want to make sure they have the right information about these people and their tactics."
Exactly. It's not that these women are prudes and think sex is fill-in-bad-thing-here, but they object to the sleazy tactics of getting women drunk, filming them on camera, having them sign consent forms and then leaving them with a tank top or a hat (not to mention making millions of their drunken exploits). Add in the allegations of rape and exploiting minors and you just want to barf.
Good job Carol McCord. Thanks for the work. Hopefully more clubs will cancel these events going forward.
