COMMENTARY
LETTER: Sexual assault is never the fault of the victim
I’m not sure how to convey the emotion I felt when I was told that I had had sex the previous night. No words could describe the confusion I felt, the disbelief, the deep feeling of shock that set in right after I heard the news, or the countless feelings that barraged and overwhelmed me. "Helpless" is the best word I can think of that sums up the feeling of being taken advantage of by a boy while I was knocked out and completely unaware of what was going on; while I was beyond the point of giving consent and beyond the point of saying no. I spent nights wide awake, trying to decide if this was my fault, because at first I believed that it was.

COMMENTARY
Appreciate the MSU you know today
By Jesus Arzola-Vega vegajesu@msu.edu Now that November has arrived, I feel like being called a "senior," and all of the realities that come with that word, have finally sank in. These past four years have been wonderfully tumultuous, to say the least.
COMMENTARY
"#Meninist" trend misses the point of feminism
Feminism. It’s a word a lot of people are afraid of. A word people don’t understand the true meaning of. In fact, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, the true definition of feminism is "the belief that men and women should have equal rights and opportunities." I consider myself a feminist, and because of this, I have been told to “burn my bras” and “stop shaving my legs.” The reason I identify as a feminist is because I believe women should have the same rights and opportunities as men and vice-versa.
