It is hard to expect much of Outnumbered. It is also hard to expect much of Fox News, the channel on which Outnumbered airs. And yet a head shake still occurs when one hears an opinion like the one Stacey Dash shared during Friday’s episode, when she stated that college women who are raped are “bad girls” who “go out and play and get hurt” and then blame “the alcohol.”
As Media Matters points out, Outnumbered got their hands on two news stories today and went as hard as frat boy with a keg and funnel: First, that national sorority chapters have asked sorority sisters at the University of Virginia to avoid fraternity houses this weekend, and second, Dartmouth College‘s decision to ban hard alcohol on campus. Neither of these ideas are particularly good ones, but they do not deserve the treatment they got from Dash, or from fellow nothingburger Andrea Tantaros.
To start, Dash said she thought suggesting to the “good” sorority sisters that they avoid frat parties was “a good thing for the girls…to be told to stay home, be safe.” (She had to be corrected for calling them girls and not women.):
