Aug. 25, 2015A professor once told me that young men and women are biologically inclined to stay awake late into the night because we’re young, fertile and it’s our biological imperative to attempt to reproduce.

Bailey, rightfully derided the video as "so racially and aesthetically homogenous and forced, so hyper-feminine, so reductive and objectifying, so...unempowering." Snapchat provided live coverage of sorority rush week this past weekend, and anyone could readily observe that the problematic behavior criticized in the video is not only expected but is the norm.
