Change that last exercise to:

“*And, finally, a group of young women under the instruction of Professor Fahs dressed a female student in white pants, put a fake brown stain on the back of her pants, and filmed her as she walked through a local shopping mall.

The point of the final exercise was to show that cr***ing all over yourself is no big deal. If there is a “personal” accident then (rather than simply cleaning the mess) women should walk around in public with stained pants. This is a way to reduce the stigma associated with defecation. This is “bodily function” activism.

Of course, Breanne Fahs would not be a real Gender Studies professor if she weren’t complaining about “harassment.” Predictably, she reported that several of her ... activist/students faced “verbal harassment” while carrying out the project. Notable examples follow:
...

*The student walking through the mall with a fake stain on her pants faced stares and snickers and was told that she was “disgusting.” To be clear, Fahs is arguing that a) walking around with a fake toilet accident is normal and that b) voicing objections to walking around with a fake toilet accident is harassment.”

Seriously, is there really any difference? Excreting digestive waste products is a normal occurrence too, but it’s not something people celebrate.

What rubbish the Prof. speaks........I recall clearly wearing white shorts at my first ever visit to Disneyland.....when red was not my choice of color to wear but ended up just that, with matching socks ta-boot!...... I can tell you it was beyond embarrassing.... Thank the Lord a woman gave me her sweater to tie around my waste until I could get back to the car (and we all know the distance to your car from center Disney)... and home!

Personal accidents are just that...”personal”....and not something you would ever choose to share with the public....not even a stain!

This is diversity and anti-discrimination you see, and it validates Evan Sayet’s theories on liberal thinking quite perfectly.

See, crapping inside versus outside your pants are two equivocal outcomes, neither better than the other, and if you are so unfortunately myopic as to favor one outcome over the other, why, you are a bigot. You’re a shittist! You clearly cannot overcome your biases, your white privelege (if you happen to be white) or your underpriveleged upbringing if you happen not to be. Too bad for you, the benefits of diversity will surely elude you so long as you are run by your biases, your conditioning.

After all, there is nothing objectively wrong with walking around smelling like a toilet. There’s no discomfort walking around with excess liquid or solid matter inside your drawers. Any reaction to these events are simply the product of societal conditioning you’d obviously be so much better off without. Smelling offensively to others, or leaving your various residues on furniture belonging to others, hey, those are clearly value judgments of dubious value.

The great part is that if you think crapping in your pants is no better than crapping outside your pants, think of what a great president you could think we have!

What’s indeed interesting about this IMO is how the peer pressure (or maybe it’s the pressure to get a good grade in Prof Fahs’ bodily function festival class) can actually cause people of otherwise common sense to forego same. It’s true of smoking, as an obvious example; an activity most people are revulsed by the first time or three they try it; but there, there is this pressure or impetus to be “cool”.
Walking around with a turd in your pants, though, that’s an exciting new frontier in societal development.

Forward!
