I don' t think the idea is wacky. I think the fact these college students were so "traumatized" by the comments from the audience that they actually vomited is a little on the theatrical side.
If they did indeed vomit from it, then they're going to have very tough lives when they graduate.
Well, it was a play. Theatrics kinda come with the territory.
Yeah, but they'll be really thin!
Sigh.
The idea that sexual assault is not some drunken game and needs to be taken seriously is not a joking matter. It's a violent criminal act. So putting the notion forth to freshmen that such behaviour will not be tolerated is not a bad thing.
But a play? I'm sorry but that is just so 'after-school special'. These aren't a bunch of tweens, these are young adults. The can drive, vote, in some places even drink legally. So treat them like young adults and impart these messages in an adult manner, it might be received slightly better than a mandatory viewing of a play.
As for the heckler, the little toad needs to grow the fuk up, seriously that's tween like behaviour. Yet there is some small part of me that understands lashing out at the mandatory aspect here, just maybe not in the way he lashed out. The idea of a mandatory play just seems so condescending.....I don't know, maybe if we treat these young adults like adults they may actually begin to act like adults? Some of them anyway.

It ain't sexual assault if she's asking for it (in the opinion of a drunk adolescent).
Not in the U.S. The drinking age in all 50 states is 21.
Yeah, make 'em sign a densely-worded legal document they won't read.
As you note yourself, his conduct shows that he's well deserving of condescension.
The feminist ideal that ALL men a rapists, all women are victims is the predominate cultural ethos in college these days. Those men who do not accept the fact that they are rapists, in a culture of systemic sexism, and and vicitimization of women.. must be punished. They will be forced to bow before this goddess.
I can see having this addressed in orientation at the beginning of the year but a mandatory play?
Nope... this was the College Drama Club wanting to force all students to see one of their plays.

they were trying to bring sex assualt into the conversation, about it being a criminal act, what it is , the agressor can be either man or a woman.....point being any sex assualt is a criminal act & sall be prosicuted under the guise of the law....all are involved even those who know it was happening or were arawre it was going to happen...all are responsible....its sad it happens says so much about peoples values in life now...and schools are supposed to look out for students...avoiding maltreatment of any kind.
