Ivester's claim that women "have to start developing a sense of humor" about the sexist posts labeling them as "whores" and "sluts" indicates that he takes no responsibility for his part in creating the forum and he seems to blame the women who take offense to the comments posted. Perhaps women should more aggressively retaliate against the comments made about them, but the set-up of the forum with anonymous posters means that women cannot confront their attackers and are likely to be called whiney or defensive if they were to challenge the false claims. Asking women to take lightly the rude attacks that victimize them implies that women's concerns are not to be taken seriously and should be overlooked in favor of more serious subject matter.
Unfortunately, the right to freedom of speech means that Juicy Campus cannot be removed as long as people are willing to read the degrading posts featured on the site. Therefore, women especially should stop frequenting it, not just because of fear of not getting a job, but also because it encourages scandalous gossip that demeans women across college campuses. Women at universities are going to become the leaders of America in the near future and should reject any forum that debases other such women.

being at a liberal arts school all these middle class white liberals are shocked when they see people being racist, sexist, or homophobic on the website. "This couldn't happen on OUR campus!" Well, it does, says the gay arab muslim woman. Yes, it does.

Last fall when my school was in the throws of Juicy fever a rumor went up about our Student Government Pres (a guy) and an exec VP (a girl). She was dating someone else at the time and apparently the rumor on Juicy contributed to their break up... after which she DID start dating the SG president.
Now this would all just be pointless rumor mongering except the two now-graduated SG types just got engaged. Even something as horrible as Juicy can be even slightly redeemed-- it let the two of them get together.
I wonder what they'll tell the kids!

...She's a virgin.
God, I'm glad I never joined a sorority.

The stuff that's being published about these girls doesn't just hurt their reputations, it paints them as sluts, which puts them in the position of being more likely to be the victim of a sex crime.
Whoever ends up suing the guy is going to make a big juicy pile of money.

I think Matt Ivester is a douche for coming up with the concept, but he is not nearly as bad as the people that keep it going.
