Dear r/MensRights,

FYI, "Pure Romance" is a company that sells dildos. It's like a tupperware party or a jewelry party, except for dildos. source

It's likely they're actually trying to include men as best as they can without alienating any shy-er women from showing up.

In a delicious historical irony, the baby boomers who dismantled the university’s intellectual architecture in favor of unbridled sex and protest have now bureaucratized both. While women’s studies professors bang pots and blow whistles at antirape rallies, in the dorm next door, freshman counselors and deans pass out tips for better orgasms and the use of sex toys. The academic bureaucracy is roomy enough to sponsor both the dour antimale feminism of the college rape movement and the promiscuous hookup culture of student life.

I'm all for gender exclusive events/places. More power to 'em! Let them have their safe spaces, just as long as we can have ours.

The part that bothers me is that they may have an infinite amount of exclusive places, but will still protest the few that men want.

Pure Romance is a company that sells sex toys for women. They don't allow men at any of their sales events because they want women to feel comfortable enough to buy dildos.

I wonder how sexist something can get before people have to admit that its sexist? How blatantly traditionalist does it need to be before people stop calling it progressive?

Only women at the romance party, men can just bring money, because we don't like sexism.

I'd consider writing an open letter. Send it to those responsible as well as the school paper for publication.

Really wish they'd at least allude to what it's really about. "Bean Flicking week" comes to mind.

troll the event. loudly, and with factual fliers. it's necessary and worth it.

Play heavily on the "bring in the bystander" event - it's sure to discuss the "bystander effect"

also, note that hint: "pure romance" is a sex toy store.

It's sex week at my university.

Whatever is the world coming to?
