Over the Edge Dec 6, 1995 PASE 23 THE INTERNET HEATS UP RESEARCHED BY STEPHANIE WILLET/COMPILED BY PAUL BERARD Editors Note: This article may be offensive to some readers. We have decided to print it because we feel that this is a signifigant issue that affects university students. This document contains E-mail which people wrote in regards to this issue and does not, in any way, reflect the views and opinions of this newspaper or its affiliates. The list is provided - in its unedited format for your scrutiny. Thank you. This appears to be the most recent info I’ve seen about the offensive list someone posted here not too long ago. Why does it not surprise me that they get off scot free? Just thought y’all might be interested. Cornell University announced Thursday that it will not discipline the four freshmen who wrote “75 reasons why women (bitches) should not have freedom of speech.” The list, which was widely distributed on the Internet, contains many vulgarities and jokes about women and rape. The university has been flooded with electronic mail from people around the country, demanding that the students be punished. Cornell released a statement Thursday saying that the message did not constitute sexual harassment because the students had only intended it to be distributed among friends. Cornell, which does not have a “hate speech” policy, said “certain offensive messages may have to be tolerated in a community which values the right of all to speak freely. Hello, ladies. You might have already heard about it, those Cornell guys are now under investigation. 1 just found it out in our school paper this morning. According to the paper, Cornell is investigating the students—actually they were all freshmen—for “possible sexual harassment” and “misuse of computer resources.” and “If they are found charged and found guilty by the school discipline system, the four could be made to perform community service.”—but the school officials are “not sure yet.” Also, these four guys expressed their school paper “deep remorse”, but said most of the material in their e-mail also could be found in on the television, the Internet and elsewhere... hello. as the end of semester looms closer and you’re feeling stressed, feel free to vent all your anger about life and the patriarchy in general to these assholes who think they’re funny. I did and I feel a whole lot better. These twit’s e mail are listed in here. HOPE EVERYONE SURVIVES EXAMS!! hey guys, check out this bullshit 4 idiots from Cornell came up with...fucking pricks need shots to the head... Eh there guys, let these idiots know how you feel about this OK guys, this REALLY pissed the heck out of me. Write to these assholes and tell them what we intelligent people have to say about this sexist Alright guys and gals. This is just revolting. It seems as though each one of them needs a swift kick in the ass... If you so desire, send it on to everyone that you know to publicize the stupidity and ignorance of these 4 freaks. Hi guys. I got this from a friend at Cornell. It’s a really bad list written by four jerks there. I really couldn’t believe some of it myself. Read the list, but before you do, read the comments from the people who have already seen this. P.S. To everyone who I don’t usually write, this is pretty interesting and you should see it. To everyone else, I’m sure you’ll get a personalized message from me soon... I’m not quite sure how to begin, I suppose I'll start by saying that the following list is, at it’s least, disgusting and offensive. It’s the kind of thing that needs to be passed around as much as possible, because, even though it is disgusing and offensive, it’s aggrivating. I realize that I don’t know some of you very well, but this is something that I think everybody needs to see. I was brought up with the understanding that all people, regardless of religion, sexual preference, color, nationality, education, age, and most of all gender, were equal. I know that many of you were brought up the same way. This list just goes to show. how some people are incapable of reaching that same understanding, of treating each other, especially women, with respect. It hurts me to think that I could be a part of the same society, and be classified under the same category, “male”, as the cretins who wrote this. Read it, pass it on. I’ve cleaned it up some so it won’t take up as much space. This is probably-one of the most frightening things that I have ever read. It scares me that these “men” are walking around out there and are considered to be “educated”. Send this around. Just when i’m getting idealistic and thinking that people aren’t *really* that sexist and no one would want to do something to intentionally hurt someone, things like this come along. I’m at a loss for what to do, How can you change people who are so proud of their ignorance and blatently, well, assholes? And people say that femanists make things up and exaggerate, whatever....... I have never seen anything this offensive in my life.
