Funny, Inappropriate, or a little bit of both?

Question for the ladies, if it was hanging in front of a sororiety with it saying drop your sons of here would you be as offended? Answer honestly

Good question and damned double standards do exist...but I think the crassness isn't gender-specific.
(edit - aside from American Beauty, I just can't see women that age asking for the dads to be dropped off too).

What is sad, the girls would probably be referred to as sluts for hanging a sign like that outside their sorority.

100% true and 100% sad.

personally and i say personally i see it as a sign of love in desguise which would make me think twice about dropping my children there but thats just me even if the sign was an insult but you know sometimes the truth hurts and is offensive if thats what it takes then so be it

I'm not sure I understand it being described as love in disguise, JW. That sort of crosses into a weird territory of excuses for words and worse, for actions.

it does but still serves as a warning sometimes there are methods to the worlds madness even if not intended the way it should or shouldnt be

I'm sorry - I'm trying to get what you're saying but just not. What kind of warning or method? Toward the young men's mindset in putting up those signs, or those who read/react to it?

To be 100% honest, and yes, i know it makes me a hypocrite, if it were a sign on a sorority saying "drop your sons off here (and dad too)" I'd actually be pissed instead of just disgusted. At this point the original sign is something I guess I'm used to or have come to expect (or at least not be surprised by) but if it were a sorority I'd be actively pissed off. Cuz that's not just offensive and in poor taste, it's making my gender look bad. And I mean it would be like "wtf is wrong with you? The MRAs don't make up enough shit you gotta HAND THEM this kind of ammunition?!"

Again, I know it's hypocritical. Whatever I ain't perfect, but I'm honest.

Stupid, nasty, offensive and not funny. Screw the guys who do this kind of thing, shame on the parents who don't teach/model respect and on the girls who go along with it and bad on the colleges that don't shut it down. We all like to have a good time but this is just not good.

As always, well-said.

We're all hypocritical to varying degrees. Give me honesty any day - I appreciate it.

Did you not know God can use people who are in no way on his side to get the point across to the ones that are on his side by working in mysterious ways and using idiots to say stupid offensive things that may be inappropiate but still get the message across to those who are open minded enough to see it and be put off or in their case warned off..either way its offensive and informative and like i said if thats what is takes to change a decision so be it bc the sign in all honesty wasnt stating full blown lies even if it were offensive
if i saw it my reaction would be my children are not going there to me its God sent even if idiots were used the offensiveness was interpreted on their own stupidity not Gods

All in all at the end of the day it is young male hormones advertising.
Crass, callous?, maybe
But damn the lengths boys have to go through,
Women need no such advertising to be just as dirty

Like young men's hormones need advertising?

They're their own walking signs

My opinion is this, the boys fucked up with the 3 signs. Had they kept it to the one with the daughter drop off it wouldn't have been as blatantly fucked up. I don't worry about the ones who do shit like this when it comes to my daughters. I worry about the ones who quietly are plotting. The ones who will sell themselves off as 'nice guys' just waiting to take advantage or drop something in a drink.

This sounds more like the devil working in mysterious ways. But really, isn't it just stupid human behavior we're talking about here?

I get it, and actually JW makes a good point - regardless of what those guys were thinking of when they hung those signs - they've undoubtedly succeeded in broadcasting to the entire community that they're a bunch of dingbats who ought to be avoided, potentially sparing a number of young women from unpleasant encounters with them. Think of it as the silver lining.

I wonder how many females will be there this Friday night for the party that is most likely going to happen.

Good point and ties into Ident's comment up there too.

Have to liken it to any others who show their true colors for all else to see, whether in this realm, homophobia, freedom of choice, etc.

Empty, I'm guessing a few but sure hope not.
