Forty University of North Texas students protested a Girls Gone Wild appearance at a local rodeo last week, waving signs with slogans that read "Girls Gone Wild promotes rape culture" and "nudity is beautiful, objectification is not," the North Texas Daily reports.

A male senior who's also a member of Men Against Violence and the Feminist Majority Leadership Alliance organized the rally. "Aside from the event being a disgusting union of male and female chauvinism that creates unrealistic expectations about the roles and behaviors of girls and women," he told the Daily, "many of us feel that GGW creates an unsafe environment." "Damn hippies," random onlookers responded.
