A century-old tradition at Stanford University — in which upperclassmen track down freshman students and kiss them — is being toned down this year in the wake of the #MeToo and “Time’s Up” movements, according to organizers.
Several changes have been made to the annual “Full Moon on the Quad” event, which is sanctioned by the school and scheduled to take place on campus Wednesday night.
Instead of kissing, officials asked students to exchange white roses and “gratitude cards” — along with phone numbers for a possible first date, The Stanford Daily reports.

"Tone down" doesn't seem nearly enough of a restriction.
Everything in our culture is getting a cleanout in the Trump era.
That’s cool that they can still keep the tradition alive with flowers and cards instead.
Another innocent tradition destroyed.
Some girls were looking forward to the tradition.
Now, they will have to be video’d consenting to being talked to.
Not without signing a consent form.
The feminists claim #MeToo, but the movement is actually paving way for male chivalry to make a comeback.
Apparently the tradition began in the early 1900s with flowers and kisses...but on the cheek.
Cheek is more appropriate. Thanks.
The return of the Victorian calling card.
Purple haze all in my brain
Lately things just don’t seem the same
Actin’ funny, but I don’t know why
‘Scuse me while I kiss this guy
Men, just stay away from modern women.
You are merely just a temporary resource for them. You are the future ex they will refer to as “a$$hole” after you’ve paid for everything and put up with their emotional baggage.
And stay disease free, and drama free, avoid them and focus on improving yourself. Do not fall for the lie you need to have a woman in your life.
Golly what a development.
Golly what a development.
I wonder when the students will tire of the iron fisted tyranny of the professional Angry SJWs.
Men, just stay away from modern women.
Don’t touch any women, leave lost kids alone.
Maleness is Mafia; you’re Don Corleone.
But it’s mostly you older guys doomed, as a rule;
The snow-flaky beta males are neutered in school.
This is beginning to sound a lot like the death knell of the 60’s sexual revolution. Good riddance!
Meh. I would be more worried about the flu.
” the death knell of the 60’s sexual revolution. “
Bingo.
