Brent Bentley was just your average Joe frat boy. He loves partying, pounding down Miller Lights, and popping his collar. However, after a couple of years in his fraternity something didn’t feel right for him. “Yo, high five bro!” was a common phrase he heard every day. Why just the bros? Why don’t women get high fives too? It was from that day forward he devoted his life to feminism and every year on International Women’s Day he runs around campus giving a high five to every woman he sees.



The great thing about this protest is that he doesn’t even charge for the high fives. Most of the other boys in his frat would charge a dollar, maybe two, but Brent doesn’t charge a dime.

Brent ran past the Student Center into the quad slapping the hands of every woman his eyes gazed upon. “You get a high five! You get a high five!” he chanted, quoting Oprah Winfrey, one of the most powerful women in our current day. He continued this all the way to Registrar, leaving no female palms un-slapped.

“Bros aren’t the only people who deserve high fives” Brent stated in a one-on-one interview with the Tackle Box. “There are plenty of chicas out there who deserve it, if not more so than any of my bros.”

Brent did receive some criticism from his peers though. People were quoted saying “I had just stacked up all of my books to carry to class and this douche comes by and slaps them out of my hands” or “I don’t really like high fives. They spread a lot of germs.” Say what you want about Brent, but aside from some minor annoyances as any protest would create, he’s not really hurting the cause. It’s not really helping, but again, no harm is done so I say live and let live. Brent will be graduating at the end of the semester so we will see if he continues this tradition next year. If he does, COOL! If not, oh well.
