It takes a conference
Just as every ’Cac school has something to offer its 10 conference compatriots, each individual in the ’Cac has a skill to contribute towards encouraging sex positive campuses, free from violence. Some of us are graphic designers; others are natural socialites, intramural sport captains or avid ‘B’ film connoisseurs.

On Social Disclaimers
I’ve been thinking a lot about “social disclaimers”, the common phrases we use to warn someone about ourselves. These disclaimers tend to be gendered, and arise in a romantic context. For men it’s “I’m a selfish person” or “I’m an asshole.” For women it’s “I’m crazy” or “I’m weird.”
I wonder: do we make these disclaimers because we truly believe we are these things, or do we do it in order to have the leniency to become them? On some level, we must know that society will read them into our behavior anyway.
I would venture to say that, when we make a social disclaimer, we are actually asking the other person NOT to see us this way. These aren’t scare tactics, really, because they invoke the intimacy of a pardon.Intimacy in spite of ourselves.
