The Slutty Bitch Chronicles
Posted by recent grad under Record at 6:00 am
The Record‘s Op-Ed section seems to have become something of a meme recently, with students giving it an unusual amount of (negative) attention. Several Op-eds are responsible for this (see Op-eds relating to Kleiner and to Mauna Kea), but those are notable in large part because they form a professors-vs-students dichotomy on campus. In contrast, a controversial series of articles has emerged as an argument within the student body: the slutty bitch chronicles.
The original:
In defense of the slutty bitch: Not letting society dictate women’s preferences
The response:
The counter-response
Guilty by omission?: Standing trial: A defense of “In defense of the slutty bitch”
Personally, I found the original article to be pretty poorly written and not to have much of a point, the second article to be over the top in its indignant outrage towards an opinion that really wasn’t much of an opinion in the first place, and the third, while a fair response to the second, just totally unnecessary to write (did these two mediocre op-eds really need a third response?).
Thankfully, something good has come out of this dumpster fire: from the Op-eds section being something of a meme have emerged some great actual memes on Williams Memes for Sun-Dappled Tweens.
And my favorite, of particular relevance to the present audience:
(At least one of these memers had to have visited EphBlog at least once in their lives, to grab that screenshot for the last meme. So on the off chance you’re reading this:
- Yes, stealing memes for a post is very lazy journalism, worthy of the worst of BuzzFeed. Guilty as charged. But it’s a meme, that’s what happens.
- Do student memers want to be credited? I’m not doing so because when I was a student I would not have wanted my name to be associated with EphBlog in any way, shape, or form, but on the other hand it’s your content that we’re…profiting? off of? [Does EphBlog make anything close to a profit?] And posting on a private meme page is not granting permission to have your name publicly associated with that material, so while I can somewhat justify to myself reposting the memes because that’s what memes are, I wouldn’t feel comfortable doing so with names.)

The first was so mediocre and unfocused I didn’t bother to read the follow ups in any depth.

Big fight in the comments of one of the newer memes today. Any interest in posting that @recentgrad? Of course, I would expect (even require) all personal identifying information to be removed. While I agree some of these are funny, the commenter makes some interesting points about the ulterior motives of memes and about a lack of dissenting opinions on the meme page…

Please post! And there is certainly no requirement that “all personal identifying information to be removed.” These are (semi-)public fora with thousands of members. No one expects (or should expect) secrecy.

Ha. As if anyone has enough sex at Williams to be a “slut.”
Oh, I almost forgot that at Williams having sex with three different people in a semester qualifies as being a “slut.”
In the words of Bill Clinton, “it depends on what your definition of ‘slut’ is.”
“It depends on what your definition of ‘bitch’ is.”
“It depends on what your definition of ‘is’ is.”
Slutty at Williams? Never heard of it beyond rumors- which oddly shame such a thing to the point it does not exist.
