> It was a wild rant by a sorority girl generously peppered with the words “fuck” and “suck” and other sexually-derived abuses and highly suggestive that the role of a sorority girl is to cater to the preferences of a particular fraternity. The entire subject screams of gender-based stereotypes, including the major stereotypes about sororities and fraternities and their accepted sexual behaviors. The rant linked in the OP was barely a step away from “When you are in the company of X fraternity, you _belong_ to them, so don’t even mention that you are aware that other male persons exist.” And that is a whisker away from “Your vaginas belong to X fraternity, so act like you know it, and act like you love it.”

I’m just reading this for the first time, but do you feel this is an appropriate and on-topic response to that sort of stereotyping?
