Yale frat pledges chant about rape

YouTube video from Yale Daily News of fraternity pledges chanting "no means yes, yes means anal".
Salon's Tracy Clark-Flory has some commentary:
Now, DKE President Jordan Forney has been forced to apologize for this blatant sexual intimidation by calling it "a serious lapse in judgment by the fraternity and in very poor taste." But this sort of hateful crap isn't a "lapse in judgment." It doesn't innocently happen that you're guiding male pledges by young women's dorms in the dark of night chanting about anal rape. It isn't a forehead-slapping slip-up, it's a sign that you need major reprogramming as a human being. ...
And just so we're totally clear on where the dichotomy lies here: The half of the electorate that elected a dickhead of the culture from which this misogyny comes to the presidency for the first 8 years of this millenium is, as I mentioned yesterday, the half of the electorate giving a young female Congressional candidate crap for being photographed with her husband-at-the-time playing around with a jokey Christmas party costume.
