College Student Gets Applauded For Organizing "Hoe Union" To Stay Safe At Parties

We can hide behind the lofty claims of employability prospects and intellectual stimulation all we like, but the fact remains: many wide-eyed eighteen year olds look forward to college as an opportunity to party. There's no hiding that many higher education institutions are propped up by the fact that their prospective students want to let loose as well as buckle down, but these experiences aren't always fun and games. In particular, college social life both on and off campus can carry some risks for women, and despite greater awareness over the past few years, these problems haven't always diminished like they should.

After u/solidarityslutts and her friends encountered some of these issues at parties they had been to at her college, she decided that it was only necessary to do something about it. Unfortunately, her school administration didn't feel the same way. After creating a group chat designed to alert women to skip or leave parties that presented certain dangers or unpleasant behaviors, a guidance counsellor advised that her actions had "ostracized people". This lead to her posting to r/AmITheAsshole, where Redditors almost unanimously commended her for putting the safety of female students first. "Hoe Union" has a certain kind of ring to it, no?
