The ill-fated piece by Huffington Post contributor Rebecca Walden titled “Young ladies of the SEC, cover it up!” has engendered dozens of think pieces on the matter across the Internet.
Attacked as a “slut-shaming” screed, the Huffington Post was quick to take the story down.
But Walden, for her part, did not back away from the backlash.
In an interview with AL.com, she actually doubled down on her remarks and refused to apologize for her piece.
Since she won’t apologize for it, allow us to show Ms. Walden how we feel about her views that younger women in the SEC are not “classy” enough for her on football game-days:

BREAKING: State Senator Frank Artiles Set To Resign
Florida State Senator Frank Artiles will resign Friday according to a report in the Miami Herald.
Artiles has come under fire over the last three days due to his racist and sexist tirade that made national headlines.
Initially Artiles seemed prepared to fight and stay in office.
“If every time a senator made a mistake or someone made a mistake that they were going to resign, we’d have half the Senate gone for whatever reason,” Artiles said to media on Wednesday.
Apparently that has changed now that supporters of his started to pull away from him.
