Princeton issues guidelines for ‘Consent on the Dance Floor’

Princeton University wants to ensure that students know how to ask each other to dance, and so recently issued instructions for obtaining “consent on the dance floor.”

The guidelines came in the form of a Facebook post shared by Princeton’s Sexual Harassment/Assault Advising, Resources, & Education (SHARE) office and created by the school’s UMatter initiative in anticipation of the annual Orange and Black Ball (OBB) that took place last Friday.

LOL, I hear ya. I don’t recall seeing that either.

What I have always been amazed at, is the hostility of some women when you pose a simple question like, “Would you join me on the dance floor?

It’s almost as if you had just demanded they carry your child full-term.

Left to run things, DemoRATs will soon be managing men’s erections.

I suppose so-these safe space dwellers are probably not able to comprehend a simple yes or no that does not have a detailed 5 page explanation of how to handle that attached...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Holy crap. What the hell is wrong with "Would you like to dance?"

Or should one just snap one's fingers like The Fonz?

Just don’t call me Shirley.

I hated that class will all my heart. Hated, hated, hated it!

Fifty years later I still cringe.

You just didn’t look at it the right way. My mother made me take Ballroom Dancing when I was 12. A little later it turned it turned that I was pretty much the only boy that knew how to dance without stomping all over their toes.

I had pretty much my pick of dance partners AND dates after that.

Thanks, Mom.

Gosh me also...I remember "Tarzanna" climbing down out of a tree to go to dancing class...with boys....phew......after that day my whole world changed, for the better.

We distanced ourselves (manners) from disrespectful people male or female. Today several generations have been raised by television...the results are not favorable...modesty, integrity, loyalty etc, have all been replaced by dishonesty, cheating, no loyalty, in fact most ethics seem to be a thing of the past.

Young man: "Would you like to dance?"

Young lady: "Yes, I would.

Young man: "That's wonderful. Do you see than man over there in the three piece suit? He is my lawyer. Shall we go over to him and complete the paperwork?"

I’ll say it again — cultural marxists set out decades ago to destroy Christian morality, but as with everything confused and hypocritical they do, they at the same time ran into obvious contradictions with various parts of their class and victim-based politics.

So they have muddled their way along and cobbled together a Frankenstein facsimile of a moral system, of course, without God, Natural Law, tradition, sin the 10 Commandments or anything like that.

We now have Progressives and Cultural Marxists writing “rules for the dance floor,” replacing something Emily Post might have done many decades ago, of course without any grace or refinement, but more like rules for the mixed-martial arts cage match.

Does it goes something like this:
Do You Mind If We Dance With Yo Dates?

[Huskrrrr]

Ah, I remember that last slow dance at my Senior Prom, looking forward to making out in my car after the dance. Seems like a million years ago.

I hated dance class too. It was called Fortnightly and was held on West End Avenue in Nashville. I would have sooner parachuted alone into North Vietnam or volunteered to work for free in the sewer.

Girls were fine but I knew this was a set up to put me at my awkward worst. I was never able to dance the foxtrot or the boardwalk after dance school...somehow it was never something people did after that time.

Lawyer's office? Two witnesses? Kinda like executing a will I'll bet.

[Texan5]

Wow-we don’t see bizarre behavior like that out here-but this whole county is rural-there are maybe a dozen or so small roadhouses and bars/nightclubs here and there-so a response like that to a request for a dance would be common gossip over coffee the next morning, along with the bitchy woman’s name-she’d probably be shunned like the Amish do...

... recently issued instructions for obtaining “consent on the dance floor.”

So I guess you can't say "Come on baby, shake it" any more???

[Poison Pill]

I either say “yes” and let him lead me onto the floor or “not just now” if I don’t want to-that still works for me...

Wonder how many "asks" these days constitute harassment?

[samtheman]

Unless a male is bringing another male as a date to these dances, they would be advised to stay away.

That’s so true. And so sad.

[JoSixChip]

I don’t ever recall seeing a woman-or a guy-dragged screaming onto the floor and forced to dance

It happens to me every chance my wife gets a chance.
