Rod CabralHOST
Whatever else may come to light, we already know more than enough to drag these men's reputations through the mud as they gleefully dragged Jane Doe's.
Rod CabralHOST
All the ketamine and Snapchatting makes this case seem very modern, said Caitlin Flanagan in the Free Press, but generations of college women have learned the hard way never to go upstairs in a fraternity house.
Rod CabralHOST
Why do women keep venturing, decade after decade, into these fortresses of violence and stunted masculinity? Many go in search of good men, but they are in pitifully short supply.
Rod CabralHOST
Of all this story's awful details, perhaps the saddest and most enraging is that when those messages went out, inviting dozens of key five brothers to join in the unfolding horror, not one of them was man enough to shut it down.
Joe GettyHOST
and then you tell me where you land.
Joe GettyHOST
First, Caitlin Flanagan of the Free Press, who I often like.
Joe GettyHOST
She is to the left of me.
Joe GettyHOST
I often like her writing, but this is what she said about that quip and the cheering from JD Vance and his crowd.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
It wasn't well taken care of.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
So all of these stories that have come out, especially Caitlin Flanagan's piece that was written more than a decade ago, but re-released by The Atlantic a couple weeks back, It doesn't surprise me that people fall out of windows at fraternity houses or fall off roofs because who's keeping up with these houses? Like that building that I was in was just unsafe.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
And there's this weird thing.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
I know it's great for a university because there's a whole chunk of people whose housing they don't have to worry about, a bunch of students whose housing they don't have to be concerned with.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
I don't know that I dig that joke, but here's two takes on it, and then you tell me where you land.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
First, Caitlin Flanagan of the Free Press, who I often like.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
She is to the left of me.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
I often like her writing, but this is what she said about that.

Joe GettyHOST
I just needed a short clip.
Joe GettyHOST
That was distasteful.
Joe GettyHOST
I think Caitlin Flanagan needs to lecture you.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
Yeah, no good.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
But here, here's two takes on it, and then you tell me where you land.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
First, Caitlin Flanagan of The Free Press, who I often like.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
She is to the left of me.
Jack ArmstrongHOST
I often like her writing, but this is what she said about that quip and the cheering from J.D. Vance and his crowd.
Tom BevanHOST
Can we talk about this? This is not a hundred year storm coming, I don't think.

Peggy Flanagan's tweet and Caitlin Flanagan, no relation, her response.
Carl CannonPANELIST
I was going to save this for you cannot be serious, but it just can't wait.
Carl CannonPANELIST
Peggy Flanagan tweeted this.
Carl CannonPANELIST
I'm going to Minnesota voice.
Carl CannonPANELIST
I'm going to be Minnesota's voice in the U.S. Senate, not Donald Trump.
Carl CannonPANELIST
Caitlin Flanagan, who writes for The Atlantic and the Free Press and other places, tweeted this.
Carl CannonPANELIST
My Irish name is Flanagan.
Claire PotterHOST
Yeah, you know, let's just pause on Megyn Kelly since you invoked her.
Claire PotterHOST
I also want to throw Caitlin Flanagan into the mix.
Claire PotterHOST
Caitlin Flanagan wrote this horrendous piece for the free press.
Claire PotterHOST
And I just want to say or confess that I have from time to time been a Caitlin Flanagan fan.
Claire PotterHOST
I thought the piece she wrote about the death of Quintana Roo, Joan Didion's daughter, was absolutely astonishing.
Claire PotterHOST
She also wrote a great piece about going on vacation with small children and how much mothers hate it.
Claire PotterHOST
And then after that, you know, you start meeting other girls who say, yeah, you know, don't go to parties at that house.
Claire PotterHOST
Or if you do, take a friend, blah, blah, blah.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Dorothy, there's a long-form piece of journalism I want to recommend to our listeners and to you.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
It was re-released by The Atlantic this week by Caitlin Flanagan, and it's about fraternities.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Now, it was written back in 2014, so this is not a new piece.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
This is very old.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
That evolved over hundreds of years.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
Fraternities were in place from the very earliest parts of America.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
And one of the initial reasons why fraternities formed according to Caitlin Flanagan is that the initial universities in America were run by, they were basically seminaries.
Kathy EmmonsHOST
They were run by churches, and they were opportunities for higher education for the best of the best.
Heather RobinsonHOST
Confusion among young people about rights made it so that if a young man wants to be chivalrous and wants to be protective and wants to say, get that girl out of that fraternity house who's too drunk to give appropriate consent, take credit for this idea.
Heather RobinsonHOST
This was written by a writer named Caitlin Flanagan.
Heather RobinsonHOST
She wrote...
Heather RobinsonHOST
Something I'm going to paraphrase her.
Joe GettyHOST
Yeah, the sex positive left and, and all that stuff.
Joe GettyHOST
And, um, Bethany Man- Mandel wrote a good piece in the New York Post, and Caitlin Flanagan in the Free P- Press.
Joe GettyHOST
And, uh, you know, anybody who's rushing to...
Joe GettyHOST
Well, f- practically freaking everybody is rushing to, "One side is right.
