Once again an idiotic college student has brought shame on his fraternity, his school, and possibly the entire Greek system by doing something that confirms every misogynistic frat guy stereotype. Today we received a copy of a an email purportedly written by a member of USC’s Kappa Sigma chapter, in which he offers a treatise on how to be an effective “cocksman” (how creative). Disgust ensues.

Here’s the email that went out to his fraternity brothers:

To the Distinguished Gentlemen of the Kappa Sigma Fraternity:

As I have mentioned I will be starting a weekly Gullet Report. In response to the Soft Report, I felt it necessary to offer a contrasting and more uplifting telegram. My theories and practices are elaborated in more detail in the body of this email.

Please send me all of your hook-ups in Tucker Max format (for those unfamiliar with this legend, google will suffice). These renditions should be elaborate and interesting. I want raw data on who fucks and who doesn’t. In conclusion the gullet report will strengthen brotherhood and help pin-point sorostitiutes more inclined to put-out. From my experience when a female goes Ksig shes typically repeats.

For your entertainment read on and pause for note taking. My hope is that ALL of our brothers will follow this creed with pride and distinction.

I have come to write this memo to you today to educate on the only life worth living, that of a Cocksman. A Cocksman is taught to live by the two most applicable principles I know: The Pie and the Gullet. You may already be lost in trying to comprehend this logic. Do not worry this is completely understandable. By the end of this memo, you will not only gain a greater understanding of what it means to live, but you will have embraced a lifestyle. However, in order for this to happen you first must know a couple key terms.

Note: I will refer to females as “targets”. They aren’t actual people like us men. Consequently, giving them a certain name or distinction is pointless.

Pie: A target’s vagina. Some of you may have heard phrases such as, twat, cooter, muff, snatch, poontang, cock pocket, DNA dumpster, fun hatch, cock sock, the fish flap, spunk-pot, whisker biscuit, or the rarely used, wizard’s sleeve. All these terms are interchangeable and fine to use. However, for the purpose of this memo, I will refer to a target’s vagina as pie.

Gullet: Usually refers to a target’s mouth and throat. Most often pertains to a target’s throat capacity and it’s ability to gobble cock. If a target is known to have a good gullet, it can deep-throat dick extremely well. My advice is to seek out this target early in the night. Good Gullet Girls (GGG) are always scooped up well before last call.

Grip: Refers to the tightness of a target’s pie. If a target is said to have good grip, your cock probably feels like it’s in a vice when you are deep inside it. If a target is said to have great grip, your cock probably feels like it got caught in a Chinese finger trap. Gentlemen, don’t let a target like that get away from you. Avoid the pie’s that are extremely meaty and resemble a cold cut combo from Subway. More often then not, if a target’s pie looks like a bag of roast beef on the outside, it’s probably a Cleveland Sideslapper.

Cleveland Sideslapper: An extremely loose pie. The target’s pie has become so loose because of overusage, the lips of the pie flap and slap it’s inner thigh as it walks.

Pie-Getters: A man that is possessed with getting his nut off. He exists solely to spread his seed in any pie that will have him.

R.D.A (Raw Dog Assassin): A man that refuses to wear condoms because no feeling on earth can compare to a warm piece of pie coming in contact with your cock. Let’s be honest, if it isn’t raw it isn’t real. Drawbacks of this philosophy are that you may have to visit the clinic more often than not, but a quick penicillin shot really isn’t that bad (trust me).

Loop n’ Doop: A target that is very easy to take down. All she takes is a good amount of liquor (loop) and she will be good to go for you to fuck her (doop). Be careful with loop n’ doops, because too much loop and they will get sick and be useless entities.

Guap n’ Drop: A target that is extremely difficult to take down. She probably doesn’t drink very much and she probably has a high socioeconomic status. Simple tactics wont impress her. It will take a good amount of effort and time to crack these. You are going to have to open up the wallet (guap) and spend (drop) a good amount on her to finally get to the pie. Better hope it has great grip for all your diligent work.

Defending the Gullet Report:
You may feel this is an unnecessary initiative. Gentlemen, you could not be more wrong. Gullet Reports only exist to help pie-getters get their nut more. It gives them the knowledge so they can operate as an efficient, calculated assassin. It also exists to call out the pie-getters who may fabricate stories sometimes or tend to exaggerate their sexual encounters. You all know who you are, and should be ashamed of your actions. There is nothing wrong with having a fatty on your record.

Also, sometimes targets that look like a Mack truck ran over their face have the greatest bodies and some outstanding grip. He who is without sin can cast the first stone, but he does not exist. Having a bad mark on your resume is a slight drawback of being a dedicated nut-getter. Shit happens. But own up to your disgrace, as you will only make the situation worse if you don’t take credit for dicking-down scum.

By now I assume some of you are wondering what constitutes a bad mark on your resume. To simplify the matter, I have come up with a rating system so strict that most of you will cringe when you actually figure out what your lifetime average really is. This scale was created because a friend of mine went on a spring break trip and came back claiming he fucked a 9. His defense was “she had to be a 9 man. She was the hottest girl I ever fucked.” That was when my friend and I decided to institute an absolute ranking system that could be universally used and implemented.

The scale is a simple 1-10 ranking system, with outliers existing up to a -5. Anything worse than that and I suggest you go find the nearest cliff and end your sorry putz existence. You don’t deserve to use your cock anymore and you don’t deserve to live your life. Moving on, I am sorry to break it to you but no one in our fraternity has ever fucked a 10. Probably only a handful have put down a 7. Society has inflated your perception and lowered your standards. My scale is absolute. It takes nothing else into account but pure physical beauty. Anything you can see with your eyes is fair game, however, a target does not get a higher ranking if it has “great grip” or a “great gullet.” How many times have you seen some sorry sap trying to justify fucking a poor piece of pie by saying “dude she gives great head” or “her pussy is so tight!” Many fatties and uglies do have great gullets and are particularly good at sex. They have to be more dedicated to their craft because no one would talk to them otherwise. Likewise, a target does not receive a reduced ranking if you get down to the pie and it resembles a slaughterhouse. It’s unfortunate, but poor qualities like that do not lower her physical beauty.

I would now like to take the time to explain the rating system in detail. I will not cover negatives because when you are trying to decide whether a target is a -3 or -2 that’s just sad for mankind. Moreover, since I do not personally know you I cannot be the judge of what pie you have fucked. I will offerer my guidance upon request because I consider my self a pie-getting veteran. My judgment is sound and I promise to give you my unbiased opinion. Seek my council in ranking a target, as initially this will be a difficult challenge for you.

To accumulate your lifetime average, have all the pies you have fucked verified by a brother who is also subject to these gullet reporting regulations. Then add up their ranks and divide by how many pies you have fucked. A good score is right around a 5.

To accumulate your “filth rating,” add up all the pieces of pie you have fucked that are a 3 or below and divide by how many pies you have fucked. Make this a percentage. For example, my filth rating is at 12%, but I have exceeded 50 pieces of pie. Not bad.

10- The likes of Marissa Miller and Megan Fox. No one will ever get this.
9- If any of you are lucky to get so close to perfection, feel blessed. If you fuck this up, you should be lynched. This is your ceiling.
8- See #7
7-Wife Status. Be careful not to fuck this up.
6-Date Status. Be careful when you cheat, but still cheat
5-Apply the 5x5 rule. Toot it 5 times, and then boot it. Move onto the next piece of pie.
4-One night stands, but they are fairly attractive. Should not be repeats.
3-The filth cut-off. These are not attractive women, but sadly many of you have fucked these.
2-Still filth. Still Pathetic.
1-Anything this close to 0 is bad. You better be 3 four lokos deep to justify this abomination
0-Let me just say from experience, when calculating your lifetime pie accumulation, throwing a 0 in the mix really hurts the average.

Additional Rules for a Cocksman

1.) Non-consent and rape are two different things. There is a fine line, so make sure not to cross it.
2.) A target should maintain the hair around her pie. It’s a matter of respect. Maintenance is preferred (I prefer pie that has been lasered increasing the aesthetics and feel).
3.) Do your research and find out what is a loop n’ doop target and what is a guap n’ drop target. Keep yourself busy by fucking loop n’ doops while working on a guap n’ drop on the side. It only makes perfect sense.
4.) When utilizing the loop power of 4 Lokos, be careful. A target on one 4 Loko is putting the odds in your favor of getting some pie. A target on two 4 Lokos is going to get sick and pass out. A target on three 4 Lokos leads to instances of litigation and lawsuits. Terms like “sexual assault” seem to be used in this case.

Pie Code

A pie code is essential to have so pie-getters can have a conversation in front of targets while talking about them and deciding which one to make a move on. The following references:

Blackberry: A black target
Blueberry Pie: half-black/half-white
Pumpkin Pie: A latin/mexican target
Pecan Pie: half-white/half-latin
Strawberry Pie: white target
Cherry pie: A young white target
Lemon Meringue: Asian target

Note: If you are so lucky to encounter a perfect piece of pie. I mean the grip is out of this world, it doesn’t look like hair ever existed in the region, and it tastes like strawberry shortcake, then you are allowed to refer to the pie as crème brulee. It must hit the tri-fecta to be considered for this great and honorable distinction.

*Don’t fuck middle-eastern targets. Exhibit some patriotism and have some pride. You want your cock smelling like falafel? Filth.

Do not recreate this email. This is for Kappa Sigmas. I will track you down and take your soul if you transmit this email to anyone outside our brotherhood.

- [NAME/RIDICULOUS NICKNAMES REDACTED]

The email covers disgusting frat guy cliches — racism, degrading women, and promoting sexual assault — so thoroughly that it almost seems like a parody, but it appears to be real. The student who initially forwarded it says the author is “getting in a shit load of trouble because it got out.” (Charming side note: It was originally passed around because it was “funny.”)

According to USC’s Daily Trojan, the email has been going around campus, and the fraternity’s national organization is investigating. Mitchell Wislon, executive director of Kappa Sigma Fraternity, told the Daily Trojan:

“The content [of the e-mail] is contrary to everything [Kappa Sigma stands] for and we are not going to allow individuals to attempt to tarnish our name in any form or fashion … We will pursue this as far as we can.”

“Obviously we are appalled that [the e-mail is] associated in any way with our name because the e-mail is disgusting and offensive … We are going to do our best to identify who the author is and hold the person accountable.”

Wilson added that if the member is identified, he’ll be suspended or expelled from the organization, but he raised the possibility that it could have been circulated by another fraternity as a prank.

USC officials say they won’t take action until Kappa Sigma’s national organization has completed its investigation. Pat Lauer, president of USC’s Interfraternity Council, condemned the email, saying:

“The e-mail is repulsive, it’s ridiculous, it’s insulting … It’s just really sad that this e-mail doesn’t reflect the standard of any fraternity or chapter in our community. What’s more shocking is that such a respected fraternity’s name is on that e-mail.”

Of course one student’s moronic attempt to amuse his frat brothers doesn’t reflect the attitudes of every guy in a Greek organization. However, it is one of the most thorough articulations we’ve seen of the culture of misogyny that thrives in many fraternities across the country.

BUT TEH FRATS R BOUT TEH BROVVERHOOD N SHIT BRO!

This matches up with every frat guy I have ever met.

If frats were actually about brotherhood, there would be a cover charge for everyone at their parties.

Did you just compare me to a FUCKING PIE?!

And this is why I avoid white frat boys. There was a version of this (please don’t tell me you think this ish is brand new), that circulated on my campus in undergrad, & I’d bet you money that it was old hat 40 years ago too.

These things are the reason why I want to throw bricks at any white feminist who wants to talk shit about misogyny by men of color but doesn’t say a damn thing about things like this which have basically been accepted as normal and okay because WHITE dudes are doing it. 

Because there really is a level of filthiness and hate and utter dehumanization of women that only white men can really achieve. And they’re the only ones who get to get away with it like. 

Oh, and as for the person claiming the email doesn’t reflect the values of the frat organization over all? Bullshit. Fraternities of white dudes on college campuses are designed to create exactly this shit. The entire point of it is to create a network of white, upper class male privilege and focus it into a predatory pack mentality wherein the young white men in the frat really learn to hone and use their white, upper class male privilege. 

This is exactly what the system is designed to do. This isn’t a failure or an anomaly. It’s the DESIRED result.

People you will meet in discussions about sexism on the internet:

  • Mr “Welcome to the real world”. Sexism happens. Always has, always will. Might as well suck it up and deal with it. Try to change society? What are you, mad? I don’t like it either, sunshine, but just be good and don’t make a fuss.
  • Mr “Oh my god calm down it was a joke”. Everyone knows if you tack “lol” onto the end of a sentence, no one can get mad at you because you were being hilarious, and if anyone gets offended they’re being an uptight prick. You truly are the George Carlin of our time.
  • Miss Validator. “I’m a girl, and I think this is HILARIOUS. Calm down feminists!” Watch as everyone in the thread uses her as yet another reason why you are stupid and oversensitive and they are hilarious and right. May also “apologise for her gender” in a cosmic blast of internalised misogyny.
  • Mr “I refuse to believe this happens”. He would never cat call or rape and isn’t sexist at all and thinks gender roles are outmoded. Therefore, he thinks, everyone else thinks just like me too. Can’t line up women’s experiences of sexism with his own worldview, so dismisses everything they say, demanding “proof”. Sees no irony in this.
  • Mr “actually you’ve got this the wrong way round”. Silly you! This is looks, feels, smells and tastes like misogyny but is actually misandry. Don’t worry, easy mistake to make, anyone could have done it. Just don’t say I’m wrong or I’ll link you to pages explaining why you have female privilege and call you an ignorant bitch. 
  • Mr EvoPsych! Has never studied this but has skimmed some articles and therefore can explain every facet of how human behaviour works. And why it’s just best and most natural for everyone to stick to their traditional gender roles. Because that’s how we did it in 10000bc. Women and men are just different, that’s why you’re not as smart as him.
  • Mr *totally unrelated point*. Seriously dude, how did you even get here. Seems to be having a totally different discussion than the one you’re having, then whines that you aren’t addressing his points.
  • Mr “I’m so not the problem here. Hello ladies.” Ugh, photoshopping is TERRIBLE, fashion is STUPID and I tell my girlfriend not to wear makeup because makeup is GROSS. I like small boobs - take that societal norms! You don’t have to have plastic surgery anymore, girls, because I like’em small. Stop dieting! I like a woman with meat on her bones. Read Proust! I like a lady who’s well-read. I don’t understand why you would want an item of clothing that cost more than £50 - you don’t need that to attract me, madam. What do you mean, you like wearing eyeliner and don’t dress yourself solely for my benefit? I told you I don’t like high heels! STOP DOING THINGS I DON’T LIKE!

ACCURATE. REALLY ACCURATE. 

Change some of the descriptors and this could totally be about a lot of different kinds of oppression. But yeah, it’s pretty damn true. 

I’d also add: Mr. What About The Men?

If You Had Not Heard

[Trigger warning: rape threats, sexual harrassment]

garlandgrey:

The Atheism subreddit proved that Richard Dawkins is so full of shit he’s legally a septic tank by launching rape and kidnapping threats at a 15-year-old girl when she posted a picture of herself with a book by Carl Sagan. Rebecca Watson wrote about it on Skepchick, “Reddit Makes Me Hate Atheists” which prompted Kate Harding’s “You Are Awful Too.”

First of all, I’ve never read a single word by Sagan that indicates he would have anything but contempt for a community that acted this way. All of the ignorant shitbeards making Sagan-themed rape “jokes” in that thread are insulting his legacy, full stop. Second, every conversation about Intersectional Atheism I’ve ever had has been attacked by men for being an unconscionable splintering of the movement. The reasoning goes that Religion is the source of all ills in the world, making all other struggles against oppression irrelevant. The work that Atheists do is so important, so vital, that if we all just focused on that we could solve everything.

It is apparently NOT important enough to avoid alienating enthusiastic young women from the next generation of Atheist activism with rape and abduction threats. I mean, who gives a shit about all of the people who will never, ever use Reddit as a resource for Atheist thought because of this? Or the people who are thinking of leaving the Church who DO use this subreddit as a resource, find all of their suspicions and fears confirmed and decide to stick with the comfortable and familiar instead of becoming one of these people? If Atheism isn’t important enough for you to fucking figure this stuff out, to figure out how not to squander human capitol like this, then Atheism isn’t important to you.

Being unapologetic shitbeards, their reaction was to blame the original poster for having posted a picture of her face, invoking the old “If you didn’t want to have someone threaten to abduct you and make you his sex slave, you shouldn’t have been a lady on the Internet” defense. Essentially, it would be goddamn impossible for any of those (grown, adult) men to not hurl abuse at a minor so she should have known better. And yet, there are places on the Internet where that shit simply doesn’t fly. It is shut down, tossed on its ass, and challenged to foster a dialogue that is worth more to its participants than whether a dude thinks their argument holds water. People marginalized by the movement seek out these spaces, because a large part of activism is discussion and rumination, and that absolutely cannot happen if the response they get is “Tits or GTFO.”

This is why I will never go near Reddit. [TW: For people making rape jokes at a minor, gross misogyny, and sexism]

Because, this shit is allowed to happen. A lot.

ETA: DO NOT, FOR THE LOVE OF WHATEVER YOU HOLD DEAR, READ THE COMMENTS ON THAT ARTICLE. JUST DON’T EVEN DO IT. PRESERVE YOUR MENTAL HEALTH. THE MANSPLAINING IS STRONG WITH THESE THREADS.

(Warning, screencaps of this fuckery on the linked site).

Knowing what I know, this is probably not the first or last or even most severe instance of this. 

Long story short: Young woman (15-years-old) posts a relevant pic of herself holding a Carl Sagan book she got from her super religious mother for X-Mas in the atheist subreddit. Touching story of tolerance and building bridges, right?

Nope. It’s actually a cleverly disguised opportunity for a flood of misogynistic douchewads to produce their best rape jokes and upvote the ones other people post. To the point where upvotes of this trash far outweigh the downvotes by a LARGE MARGIN.

But wait, it’s not just about rape jokes. It’s about misogyny, too, and some clever soul posting a picture that basically says, “Stupid females. They post pictures of objects with themselves in it because they’re such camera whore. Not like us males who sensibly just photograph the object.”

When you have a site that ever, even for a minute allows even one person to tell a fifteen-year-old young woman THAT THEY WANT TO RAPE HER in graphic and rape-culture condoning terms, you’ve already failed. When your site and the moderation are designed so that this can continue for copious threads and get “upvotes” for it, showing that the community at large generally approves?

You have failed beyond the telling of it. And heavens forfend this young woman should have been of color. Then it would’ve been bitter misogyny + foul racism.

Oh, and anyone who wants to tell me how not ALL of reddit is like that and that there are great people there and some people protested? Don’t bother. 

Telling me that is like saying, “Well, not all the strains of bacteria, fungus, algae, and microbial life are harmful! Some are downright benign!” when I’ve told you why I refuse to drink from or swim in a cesspool or sewage tank. 

Sorry, it’s a place where harmful and filthy things are allowed to thrive BY DESIGN. I don’t care about the benign stuff, because there’s enough malignancy to make it toxic.

Oh, and a special “fuck you” to the person who made a snide remark about the young woman’s spelling when she replied to this bonanza of bullshit. 

Because of course, the idea that maybe her hands were shaking and she was trying not to have a total panic attack because MANY GROWN MEN JUST SAID HOW MUCH THEY WANTED TO RAPE HER AND HOW STUPID SHE WAS FOR BEING A GIRL is not at all feasible, right?

I don’t know what makes me more disgusted. This tweet or the 100+ folks that retweeted it. 
Object lesson, friends and kind relations: this is how rape culture keeps itself functioning and the wheels of it’s terrible, people destroying machine greased. It isn’t just that one person or one douchebag says or does something that turns rape into a joke, a punchline, or a triviality. It’s that A HUNDRED PLUS OTHERS give them a round of applause for it. It’s that A HUNDRED PLUS OTHERS spread it and send the very tacit, very powerful message that this is okay. That rape can be a joke and OTHER PEOPLE WILL SUPPORT YOU IN THAT IN LARGE NUMBERS. 
This is how this persists. The way any hatred persists. Because the people who talk and act in these ways can be assured that they will not meet with great opposition or forceful pushback. They can be assured that people will chuckle and laugh and support them. 
And this is how those who become rapists first have the idea planted in their skulls that the act of rape can ever be okay to do, that it’s ever something you can let yourself participate in. Because they see this and an insidious little seed of a thought just sort of grows, silent and unexamined and unconscious in their brains until it become a very very horrible action.
