Why?
Mary Ball Washington was the mother of our nation's first president, George, and the second wife of Augustine Washington.
Mrs. Washington was said to be openly opposed to her son's revolutionary politics and, according to French officers based in Virginia during the war, she was a Loyalist sympathizer.
Mary Washington was by no means poor despite the fact that she petitioned the Government of Virginia claiming to be destitute.
I don't like to criticize the mother of our first president but, damn it, she sounds like a God damned leech. And she was a Tory. And she has a university named after her. And that university has a rugby club,
Mother's Rugby, and it appears that a young lady,
Grace Rebecca Mann, a popular junior and outspoken feminist at the University of Mary Washington in Virginia, has been murdered by someone associated with Mother's Rugby, more below:
From the New York Times article:
Ms. Mann, a member of the student government and a former residential assistant in the dormitories, was well-known on campus, and 1,000 people attended her memorial, according to news reports. She was sexually assaulted as a freshman and spoke openly about the experience, inspiring other victims to come forward and exhorting the university to improve and speed its complaint process.
In January, Ms. Mann and her two housemates allowed Mr. Briel to take a vacant room. Mr. Briel, 30, had been enrolled at Mary Washington twice before but never graduated. He moved to Seattle and worked for a social media start-up, but returned this semester to take his final two credits. In his freshman year, Mr. Briel was a member of the rugby club, called Mother’s Rugby, according to a volunteer with the club who did not give his name.
A gander at a black and white photo of Mother's Rugby yields the information that all the boys in the club are lily white. And, they look like bunch of God damned leeching Tories to me.
At any rate, when one DDGs (DuckDuckGo) "sexist rugby", it appears that a lot of the boys in the club like to lip off sexist chants, as did Mother's Rugby at MWU:
Feminists at UMW, MWU, whatever,
had been the focus of backlash several times during the academic year, first after it opposed the formal recognition of fraternities on campus, citing statistics correlating Greek life with a higher incidence of sexual assault. In the fall, Ms. McKinsey wrote an op-ed for a university newspaper titled “Why UMW Is Not a Feminist-Friendly Campus,” listing, among other reasons, a rugby club song whose lyrics depicted “sexual violence against women, including assault, necrophilia and rape.”
And in the spring, Yik Yak exploded with outrage against the group after the rugby club was suspended over the song when a transcript and audio recording of it surfaced and brought national attention to the university.
Yik Yak? Mother's Rugby? Racism? Sexism?
Whatever ...
