NBP: Emma Sulkowicz, the “Mattress Girl” of Columbia University, has been honored by the National Organization for Women (NOW) with its Woman of Courage Award.
Sulkowicz received the honor at NOW’s 2016 Forward Feminism conference, held June 24-26. It’s actually the second honor Sulkowicz has received from NOW, having previously received its Susan B. Anthony Award in 2014, when she was honored for “transforming the national conversation on sexual assault.”
The Woman of Courage Award is intended for women who, through personal bravery, have advanced the cause of women, or undermined sexist, anti-woman institutions. Past winners include Lily Ledbetter and Rep. Barbara Lee.
Sulkowicz attracted attention nationwide starting in 2014 for her senior art thesis, which involved her carrying around a dorm mattress everywhere she went. Sulkowicz claimed fellow student Paul Nungesser had raped her during her sophomore year, and that Columbia had failed to punish him. more
So her award was for most effective self delusion?
I awarded myself an award for “Best Dump of the Day”
This award means more than hers. More satisfying, too.
Mattress-girl, Clock-boy, Gender-neutral, African-American?
Where is my friggen hyphen?
Oh yeah, White-privilege 🙂
I award myself the title Agnostic Rage Boy.
I’m upset, but I kinda doubt why.
NOW? They’re still around as an organization? How irrelevant. Similar to how the Hollyweird Academy Awards are becoming.
She’s more like Lily Bedwetter.
And the award is from the National Organization of Witches.
I’m probably illiterate, but why would mattress girl advance the cause of anti-women institutions … and women or undetermined sexist?
Besides, what is the cause of women anyhow? Is this something that’s preventable?
Wow awarded for producing a sex tape about a fantasy rape. Her parents must be proud.
Deciding to carry a mattress everywhere you go and then actually doing that takes either courage or stupidity. N.O.W., of course, mistakenly calls it courage.
That mattress looks heavy.
I hope shes miserable.
Don’t tell me, let me guess! She got the Ugly Bitch of the Year award!
I hope it comes with money, I can’t imagine anyone hiring her. Far too risky.
She can’t be an artist if she can’t draw. Oh that’s right, she’s a “PERFORMANCE ARTIST”. Upping the bullshit ante even higher, this psycho gets a “Woman of Courage” award. That award must means shit because all she did was drag that mattress around. Where’s the courage come in?
Courage is a description that gets thrown around quite loosely with the left. Caitlyn from his garter belt was hoisted on that BRAVERY mantle for it’s KUWTK driven shenanigans and getting a boob job. Shouldn’t being a Gold Medal Olympiad garner more praise.
Let me gaze into my crystal ball, and foresee your future. . . . . .
Hmmmm. . . . .I see nothing. How unusual. Let me clean my crystal ball and gaze again. . . . .
Hmmmm. . .. I see nothing for you. . . . no sex. . . no employment. . . no relationships. . . . no children. . . . nothing. . . . have a nice life. Somewhere else, whiney bitch.
Back in the day we called them pros·ti·tutes.
Can they use the word girl? Not very gender neutral
i always thought the name sulkywitch was just a weebit too coincidental, myself………
i always thought the name “am a sulkywitch was just a weebit too coincidental, myself………
nagdabbit…..fingers still not awake…..
Mattress girl gets the stupid twat award.
An award for a hoax?
The whore should be in jail.
I’d like to see her carry that mattress around in Malmo, Sweden or Cologne, Germany.
Nothing really mattress.
Anyway, isn’t it a lot heavier now that it’s soaked with sweat and cum?
NOW should rename themselves WAS.
We used to institutionalize nuts like this one. Now we celebrate their “courage”, and it’s no wonder we are circling the drain as a country.
What a disgusting mattress back slut. Her filthy mattress is prolly stained with so much jizz that if you put a black light on it, you could see it from space.
Another “award,” like the Nobel Peace Prize, that means absolutely NOTHING.
izlamo delenda est …
The phrase “Hey – get a room!” comes to mind…
😛
@Burner:
Women
Advancing
Stupidity
Oh, so “courage” is now about being a whiny, vindictive little slut?
Or more of a no-talent, phony-baloney, artsy-fartsy poseur?
Yeah, comment above (too lazy to scroll up): Whenever the idea of a woman carrying a mattress on back came up, it was a joke about prostitutes.
She probably got caught with condoms in her pocket when her mom went to do laundry and she ratted out the guy who “raped” her. I don’t know her back story. I don’t want to know.
