“Cocks not glocks: Dildos to replace guns at UT-Austin campus carry protest”

That’s the headline at the Houston Chronicle.

It continues:

AUSTIN – Hundreds of students at the University of Texas at Austin will protest a new law that will allow more guns on campus not with signs or sit-ins, but by “strapping gigantic swinging dildos to our backpacks.”

Their mantra? #CocksNotGlocks

Hundreds will protest?

Out of over 1.5 million college students in Texas, “hundreds” will protest?  Even if they get two hundred to show up and protest, that will represent .013% of the total college student population in Texas.  To put that into perspective, 5% of Americans think their health insurance costs will go down under Obamacare.  Yes, these are some extra special snowflakes.

And their manner of protest?  Strapping giant sex toys to their backpacks for use to stop violent attack?

STOP!  OR I SHALL SAY “STOP” AGAIN AND BEAT YOU WITH MY SEX TOY!

That might be good for a laugh.  Would striking someone with a rubber phallus be considered a microaggression?  It will not be effective  against a bad man though.  See, bad people are not afraid to break the law.  They could care less about a victim’s “feelings” and they aren’t afraid to use macroaggression – violence – to get what they want.

Jessica Jin doesn’t get that.

Jessica Jin, who set up the “Campus (DILDO) Carry” event on Facebook…

“‘You’re carrying a gun to class? Yeah well I’m carrying a HUGE DILDO,'” Jin says in the group’s description. “Just about as effective at protecting us from sociopathic shooters, but much safer for recreational play.”

…More than 330 people had signed up to participate by Saturday morning. The “strap in” will occur on Aug. 24, 2016, the first day of next year’s fall semester.

I’m rolling on the floor laughing.

These college kids can’t even make it to class reliably, and clicking a pledge to attend an event of Facebook is about as indicative of future performance as a homeless man’s stock picks.  Even if the pledged attendees mean well, are really going to remember, let alone attend some event ten months down the road? 

Jin’s little publicity campaign is entertaining in its shock value, but it’s of little more substance than the pledges of some professors to quit teaching next fall rather than risk a law-abiding good-guy student might have a gun in his or her classroom.  We’ll see just how many brave professors surrender their paychecks, pensions, and tenure to follow through on their pledges.

Talk is cheap, after all.

Yes, one professor claims he has quit over the new law.  Sort of.  He’ll be teaching in Australia next fall.  Nowhere did it mention he’s leaving the Texas permanently.
