VALENTINE'S DAY GREETINGS – AT 10:08 A.M. ET:  Brought to you by the wonderful, mature, thoughtful students of Yale University.  From Daily Caller: 

A group of Yale University students have come together to host an anti-Valentine’s Day event that takes aim at “a tradition rooted in capitalism and heteronormativity” and bashes fraternities because they don’t let females join.

That borders on the hilarious.  They hate capitalism and something called "heteronormativity," but they want to join fraternities.  What's wrong with that picture?

“Are you going out this Wednesday out of respect a tradition rooted in capitalism and heteronormativity? Or have you slipped through the cracks to suffer the awkward, social consequences of aloneness on Valentine’s?” the anti-Valentine’s Day event organizers ask.

Hosted by the women’s and LGBTQ group Engender, the event will show “This World: Frat Boys,” a documentary that looks at the dark side of fraternities. The group makes its mission “to advocate for gender integration of Yale’s all-male fraternities given their disproportionate control over campus social life,” according to its website. The group pushes fraternities to accept women but does not display a similar fervor for integrating sororities.

COMMENT:   I don't know how you wish to deal with that somber message.  Cancel flowers?  Dinner?  Loving emails?  I just don't know.

Frankly, I'm going on with my traditional Valentine's Day wishes.  I'm prepared for the consequences.
