So lately there has been this article floating about (http://nymag.com/thecut/2014/09/emma-sulkowicz-campus-sexual-assault-activism.html) the internet. It focuses on a young woman named Emma, who has started a movement by carrying her mattress around campus as long as her rapist is still on enrolled in the same school. It's actually pretty cool how much media this has gotten.
Now being in engineering 90% of the people I seem to hang around are guys. This past weekend I went to a party and had a blast just hanging out, but I also had a lot to drink. Way too much to drink. But never once did I fear for my safety. I trust my engineering friends, either that or I am really lucky that I chose them as friends. I don't think any of them would attempt anything sexual with a woman without her consent. I'm just really glad that I can trust them, I wish that all women could feel that safe.
Arguably I don't really go to parties where I don't know people. I also am extremely private, and have a difficult time getting emotionally/physically close to people. Anyhow stay safe, have a great fall, enjoy the pumpkin flavored everything!
