Cuntfest and the Sex Faire educational, not classless

To consider Cuntfest and the Sex Faire "classless" exhibits an extreme xenophobic attitude! This attitude runs rampant at this university and throughout the state's government. Cuntfest and the Sex Faire were designed to educate, which should be the same as the university. I consider the university to take a drastically different approach, which one might argue is less informative and effective.

Those maligning these events are intimidated by their empowerment, not just toward women, but also to those willing to "open their minds" and listen to the concerns of many.

Tons of "your money" go toward the Loop and football. Everyone doesn't ride the Loop or care about football, but "your money" goes towards it.

None of "your money" went toward the Sex Faire. What's with the extreme possessive materialism of "my money", anyhow?

Finally, if someone sees Hooters and Cuntfest on similar grounds, they are sadly mistaken. The former promotes an exploitation of women's bodies, while the latter promotes an exaltation of women via the marked power of the word cunt.

In closing, I encourage attendance to events that "you wouldn't normally attend". You will learn something!

Failure to do so may lead to the life of a certain man whose surname is "without law".
