Sexy Schoolgirl 5k Cancelled In Raleigh After People Complained And Said That It Promoted Rape
Raleigh - Organizers of the controversial Sexy Schoolgirl 5k race announced Thursday that they’ve cancelled the event in the wake of “community controversy.” The Hillsborough Street race – which invited runners to “show off their inner schoolgirl and nerd sides” in a 5k and pub crawl – was first approved by the Raleigh City Council in March, but it was labeled “Runnin Dirty 5k” on the agenda. Paula O’Neal, a former Raleigh police captain who organizes other local races, told the council she questions “the message that is being sent and endorsed by the City of Raleigh due to the increasing problem of rape and violence against girls in the schools and on college campuses.” Others took to social media to criticize the event as inappropriate. And Hillsborough Street businesses were upset the city had added a new event to already frequent street closures. On Thursday – two days after the debate appeared in The News & Observer – Sexy Schoolgirl organizers told city officials they’ll pull out of Raleigh. “Community controversy, a lack of early sign-ups and inadequate organization were noted as reasons why the event was canceled,” assistant city manager Dan Howe wrote to city council members. Council members Bonner Gaylord and Mary-Ann Baldwin trumpeted the news on their Twitter pages Thursday morning, with Gaylord adding “congratulations Raleigh.” Maryland-based Sexy Schoolgirl also holds the race in Pittsburgh, Tampa and Virginia Beach, Va.
Ah yes. Because girls running a 5k makes guys want to rape. Wait, what? Can someone explain this to me? Or better yet, can someone explain to people in charge of shit that girls running 5ks in school girl outfits do not make guys want to rape? That’s not really how it works. Never has, never will. Like, for fucks sake. The message is being sent that the city of Raleigh that they endorse increased rape and violence against girls? Holy cow. What a grand statement.
Furthermore, isn’t it proven or whatever that when chicks look hot and are all like “girl power” and all that shit that they gain confidence and that it’s good for them? And even furthermore, nobody is making the girls do this. The girls who run this 5k are doing it because they want to. Nobody is holding a gun to their head and making them run. They do it because they like looking hot. They want to look hot. They like the attention, want to run the race looking like sexy schoolgirls, and want to post pictures on Instagram. But no, they aren’t allowed to cause some bitch thinks these girls are in the wrong? It’s so stupid. Let the girls who want to run it run it, and if you don’t want to, don’t. All this over the top fear mongering is just that.
PS: I’d love to see stats from the other cities this race was run and how far up crime went following it. Through the roof I’d bet! But the exact opposite.
