Sacre du Printemps, one that doesn't involve sacrificing virgins
I think Robert Frost or somebody wrote a poem about how a derive in springtime is always a magical experience. Maybe it was Walt Whitman? Anyway, I would recommend it, if you have the opportunity. Walking through alleys in Clintonville would be my suggestion. Maybe balance that out with a stroll down the railroad tracks next to I-71. It's a snapshot in time, but the psychogeographic contours of the city seem much more inviting than other times of year.
Ohio Union Activities Board at OSU Sponsoring Misogynist
Women’s Group (at OSU) Demands Cancellation of Rape-Promoter Tucker Max
Sexual Assault Awareness Month has barely come to a close, and already The Ohio State University is choosing to create a hostile environment for women, violating its own non-discrimination policy as well as state and federal law. On Monday, May 11th OSU will be sponsoring the rape-celebrating Tucker Max as a speaker, using OSU students’ dollars. [an example] From a Tucker Max story describing his several-week persistent coercion of a woman into anal sex, “I was going to **** her in the butt and film it without her consent.” Also, from his own website;
My name is Tucker Max, and I am an asshole. I get excessively drunk at inappropriate times, disregard social norms, indulge every whim, ignore the consequences of my actions, mock idiots and posers, sleep with more women than is safe or reasonable, and just generally act like a raging
dickhead.
At the same time The Ohio State University is paying for Tucker Max to come to campus, university officials are telling students that there is "no money" to set up a fund for OSU students who are raped/sexually assaulted. The fund would help cover the high costs of seeking medical attention after such an attack, which can cost survivors hundreds and even thousands of dollars before it's all said and done... So there is money for rape-promoters but not for women?
