The general complaint in the student body is that the new husky logo that UConn unveiled earlier this month is simply unimpressive. One student’s complaint; however, has led to the logo being associated with “rape” and now starting a new “rape meme.”

Carolyn Luby, a student majoring in Women’s Gender & Sexuality Studies, wrote an open letter to UConn President Susan Herbst via thefeministwire.com, claiming that the school’s new mascot is frightening for young women.

“Well President Herbst, the new Husky logo may not be capable of frightening small children, but the face of real life UConn athletics is certainly capable of frightening college women.”

She also criticizes a quote from Geno Auriemma, in which he praised the new logo for showing “fight.”

“It is looking right through you and saying, ‘Do not mess with me.’ This is a streamlined, fighting dog, and I cannot wait for it to be on our uniforms and court.~Geno Auriemma stated about the new logo change.”

In the letter, Luby takes exception to the school’s focus on its new visual identity, saying the administration should instead be focusing on cleaning up its athletics programs.

She goes on to list four separate examples, including the school’s APR scores and recent domestic violence issues.

Critics, including Rush Limbaugh, are outraged at the comparison and that one student’s voice may be so influential.

In other circles, she is described as heroic, nothing that “As part of this anti-feminist backlash targeting a female student daring to speak in defense of safety for women, the site, Barstool Sports reposted her letter, which generated the predictably violent and misogynistic gender-based comments,” writes Huff Po.

“Rush Limbaugh has weighed in to mock her, minimize the real threat and actuality of violence against women, and mumbled in his tired old patriarchal patois about Feminazis and cartoon characters. I will not link to anything he says or does because it is usually infused with a mean-spirited, dangerous ignorance and darkness, and I like information rooted in truth that sheds light and makes the world a better place.”
