"The attorneys for Pastor Jordan Brown said he ordered a cake from a Whole Foods store with the personalized message "Love Wins," but when he received it, the cake said "Love Wins F**."'Whole Foods is popular with urban yuppies and "raw food" eaters who tend to lean left on economic and social issues, so this was a little funny. But then again Christians are publicly mocked (SNL, Modern Family, Law & Order, academia) and it doesn't become national news. The word "fag/faggot" has become to the new n-word in terms of that word of socially unacceptable pejoratives.

Where's Milo Yiannopoulos when you need him?
A Texas pastor ordered a cake from Whole Foods, asking to have "Love Wins" written. The cake decorator went above and beyond his duties, though.

Sewanee caves into the feminists.
Over at Ivy Style, editor-in-chief Christian created a wonderful post about the joyous day of commencement at the University of the South, or simply known as Sewanee. It's a marvelous tribute to the tightness of the campus and to the well-dressed students.
But all was not well.
The post was so marvelous that Sewanee put it on their facebook page, only for it to be later taken down due to backlash of how the students were described. As Christian writes -
Maybe they were triggered and thought that Christian's words were hints of sexual harassment.
What else? Fresh-faced and pretty. As suppose to what, hot? Babe? Bangable? Fuckable? Dour?
Maybe those that complained want the words like "independent," "strong," "empowered" as descriptive words instead of "fresh-faced and pretty." There's no doubt in my mind that the "fresh-faced and pretty" women captured in the Sewanee photos would describe themselves as such.
As a guy, I greatly prefer "fresh-faced and pretty." Add in "ladylike" as well. I suggest that you don't erase such a standard, or else you risk the future of young women not knowing was "ladylike" is and what it entails. You also don't want young men who have forgotten what being a gentlemen is, because without a lady, a gentleman would be incomplete - in some way.
EDIT: Since the Ivy Style Sewanee post was taken down from the university's Facebook page, a handful of students have ventured to the site and have expressed their views.
Students, Isabella Lilly and Rachel Head, wrote the following -
Speaking of privilege -
EDIT 4: I've met this mentality before - the scoffing off when someone mentions political correctness. That person was a homosexual. Go figure.
I've written back to most of these losers and I said that opposing views have taken into account the microaggression brigade. The reason why they're mad is because the "fellows" (the clowns, creeps and bores at Ivy Style) won't apologize; C'13 and his crowd are bitter because people actually stand up to their shit. The irony.
You mad, bro?
I'm not sure what's so "short-sighted" about the article since it really didn't say anything about the university or student body besides acknowledging the sense of community and pride that permeates the pictures. It's obvious that C'13 is not up-to-date on the tracking and discussions about the feminist/microaggression crowd done by conservative blogs (see: College Fix, Minding the Campus) and think tanks (see: Clare Booth Luce Policy Institute, YAF) and that the disparages are not without thought. Also note the arrogance of the poster. He believes that Isabella's and Rachel's posts were excellent counters to the article, and that the disparages are shallow.
This fucker actually believes that his indignant side is the "A-Team." He actually thinks that the people who expressed disagreement are in over their heads.
Then we get into some "you've been token up' heavily, eh?" territory.
EDIT 2: Paula Jones cared to join.
If you tell off the feminists, accusing them being "PC Stalinists," and refuse to apologize, you're the delicate snowflake according to poster "Ol' Nippy" -
Clowns? Bores? These are all used to mock, denigrate, and silence the people they deem ill equipped to handle important discussion.
Note: Both C'13 and Paula use "better equipped" when referring those - and I don't who they're referring to - that no doubt feed their psychological imbalance.
EDIT 5: Sewanee student "Paul [Gibson] Naumann" issued this set of posts -
Since the article featured mostly whites (maybe he expected to see more minorities?) he accuses his own campus of having "white male privilege." Given a quick google search and if I can derive anything from his name, Naumann is white himself. As I try to make sense of his first post he's also accusing the article of having racist and classist undertones because it pictures mostly white and well-dressed students.
Naumann is the same student who wrote this student piece back in 2013. The topic? Douchebag frat boys and sexism. The boy even says that men assert their male privilege in the workforce and depend on it to get ahead while females have to work harder. Given his writing ability Naumann has demonstrated that he's a dumbass.
In his article Naumann posits that since the university's Alpha Phi Omega chapter, alongside others, is led by women that "male excellence" is debunked. I was in APO at my university and there were more females than male members, about 70-30 ratio. During my undergraduate years my chapter's president was male and then I later become president. Unless there's an even distribution of male to female at Sewanee's chapter, and that a male lost an executive position to the eventual winner who so happens to be female, Naumann's premise just doesn't work. He then accuses SGA (Student Government Association) of sexism since it's been dominated by males - too closed minded and lazy to elect a female. (Are we talkin' Hillary Clinton here?) That's weird, because Mizzou's SGA's executive board is led by a male. Yes, the Peyton Head who rang a false alarm about seeing a KKK member on campus. Not only does Mizzou has to deal with BLM, but also sexism! Naumann better give the heads-up to Mizzou! Right the wrong! What's strange is that Sewanee has more female students then male. I'm not aware of SGA at Sewanee being accused of male bias in the past, so I think Naumann is seeing things that only he sees due to his poorly developed brain.
Isabella and Rachel probably know each other. C'13 and BB c'17 probably have some ties to said students. Same with Paula. Paul is the perfect white knight.
But all was not well.
The post was so marvelous that Sewanee put it on their facebook page, only for it to be later taken down due to backlash of how the students were described. As Christian writes -
"So I was monitoring Google Analytics and social media today, and Sewanee put up a link to this post on its Facebook page, leading to another giant traffic spike that lasted for several hours.
Initial comments on FB were proud and positive. Then the feminists started complaining. I say feminists because the most vocal used that term in reference to her studies, and said she felt “erased” by the quote from the reader who said the female students in the post from last fall looked “ladylike.”
Several others complained that this post is sexist because of the terms “ladylike” and “fresh-faced and pretty.”
The feminists are on every campus, even if it's in The South. It's almost a guarantee that someone will be offended if you give words that are complimentary to a woman that is genteel in nature. I can only assume that this is seen as a sin because, if I wear my feminist cap, unconsciously puts women "in a box" and creates images of a picket fence, marriage and - I dunno - slimness. A housewife may have popped into their feminist head alongside submissiveness. Modern day feminists don't like that.I went out for a couple hours and when I got back the link and discussion thread had been removed from Sewanee’s Facebook page."

Come up with a better argument before you decide to pick a fight with your better-equipped peers online.

"Me thinks the overly sensitive ones are the clowns calling out the “PC Stalinist” crowd. Who is the real snowflakes here?"We got cunts who want to throw out all the accusations and then some. They're in the right. They aren't the snowflakes. You can't win because they aren't honest and they don't practice logic.
Clowns? Bores? These are all used to mock, denigrate, and silence the people they deem ill equipped to handle important discussion.

#FogeyGate
University of San Francisco's Intercultural Center goes full-retard.
You cannot make this stuff up.
Are any of the staff practicing Christians? As a Catholic I never asked for a day off nor did my parents or their friends who are also Catholic. I never needed one for religious reasons. I don't know how they came up with this Christian privilege.
The other sad part is other universities thought it was a good idea and implemented it on their campus as well, reports the San Francisco Foghorn campus newspaper.
If we just look at the staff group picture there are a few white females who are no doubt feminists. There's one white guy who I will presume is a White Knight. There's a couple of fat chicks, a black guy trying to act cool, a bunch of Asian girls, an Indian girl, couple of black chicks and a fat Hispanic. No Asian guy. No Middle Eastern or Indian guy. Heck, there's not one person who is physically handicapped in one way or another. Are any of these people veterans?
We have a bunch of indignant assholes whose "awareness" is making naive college & high school students believe that "Check Your Privilege" is some legit movement worth investing in.

“The posters were shared thousands of times on social media sites, especially Tumblr and Facebook, and published in feminist online publications Jezebel and Bitch Media. As a result, there have been numerous requests from colleges across the nation to use the materials on their campuses.”This is something straight out of tumblr's Loserville section. If you check the Intercultural Center's staff bios you can get some idea of how this became about.

I'm in Twilight Zone
I find it awfully weird when Catholics, and usually they carry a certain tone and viewpoints that's shared between them, say that fellow Catholics are idolizing marriage and family. I see no such thing unless giving first priority to earthly duties means idolizing.
I've seen this accusation twice, and though only twice it's concerning me. Those that complain borrow the same tactic from those who say social conservatives are "obsessed" with sex and genitalia. It's as if talk of opposing same-sex relationships and faux same-sex marriage should be done sparingly and only when we're in Bible study. For marriage and family, poster like "Liberty" (see: comment box via link) come across as bitter as another poster puts it. The same persistent attack is the same as a homosexual who's bitter that the RCC does not approve of their relationship.
Of course, I'm no way charitable towards such people because I see the "Liberty"'s of the world aiding to the downfall of society and to America. I could care less if she's a fellow Catholic. I don't want to be around her because she makes beauty dour -- because she can, and if you push back she'll accuse you of being an "angry traditionalist." Liberty doesn't need to get laid, she needs to get bitch slapped and relegated to some Episcopalian sect.

Social Work.
The helping field where you don't take a vow of poverty, but you sure are expected to suck it up and somehow be all fucking happy about it.
It currently dawned on me that for MSW's 10 month internship for school social work is unpaid. You're basically forced to work for free if you want to successfully complete your degree and there's no guarantee you'll even land a job that pays at least 40K six months after graduation. But you'll be over 15K in debt. For a "masters."
During my undergraduate years my internships, besides one, was paid (summers were paid, semesters weren't). The difference is that the paid internships were only two-three months long; and even then not being for that duration was sorta fine if it came to it since the duration was short. A school work internship being unpaid - for the entire school year - is fucking ludicrous.
My friends that became elementary teachers only had one semester internship for their program (music, English, social studies) in their senior year and they're certified teachers once they graduate.
This field becomes more of a bizarre joke once I delve deeper into the abyss of social justice.
