Perhaps the darkened confines of a place that serves alcohol are not the best venue to assert natural rights. Alcohol lowers inhibitions and encourages interactions between groups that might not otherwise mix.
To presume that you were admitted to such a place because of your sterling personality and academic achievement is ridiculous.
It's a bar - men come to bars to meet women.
If you want to dance with your girls, without male attention, take a Zumba class.

Thank you for stating the obvious.
PS - She's past 23, old enough to know better.
10,000 of them - one of her but THEY have to change?It could happen, I suppose.
You want to dance with your girls without male harassment?
Take a Zumba class. -

"... both Portsmouth Abbey and Union College in NY, neither which are "leftist,"
Better get a more current dictionary. Union College of Schenectady isn't exactly a hotbed of "Young Reganites" - it is a place to meet soon to be rich young men.
Anyone that carries their student debt load like a cross is just whinging.
If it was incurred at a school that didn't provide real skills - well then...

This article isn't about rape, Pat.
It's about fading glory and the endless "All the good ones are taken..." BS.
This smacks of Caitlin Flanagan's recent article in "The Atlantic".I found this article to be a pathetic illustration of First World problems.

Now Robert,
Some men like the smell of Poligrip and adult sized Depends.
It means she knows what she's doing and won't remember in the morning... -

Jed is merely illustrating the problem.
She advertised, he answered.

The poster in this article is both using a mating strategy and lamenting the attentions of unwanted men in the presence of alcohol.
You can't drag one gender around by the gonads and expect them to play nice.

There can be no expectation of privacy in a public place.
Louis CK's magnum opus, "Pootie Tang" illustrates the essential problem at 1:23
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aESwFtEWnpMMen + alcohol + women - you do the math. I suspect the author is among the 80% of the women in competition for 20% of the men - and coming up short.
Here's a hint - clubbing for a stable partner at 28 might not be a viable strategy.
Why do you think the velvet rope dropped for you? To attract the men.Protesting your own complicity in the arrangement is disingenuous.
This weaksauce lament has been making the rounds since Eisenhower.
PS - Your advanced degree? Did it come with a tiara?
Cry me a river, Princess.

On the article Board Of Ed's Mancuso On Tests, Teachers And Gist

"...the biggest issue with this whole deal isn't the teachers, it is the property taxes used to pay the teachers..." Jim L
That's the ONLY issue.
If you weren't paying property taxes, you would not object. Let's not pretend this Tea Party bilge is about anything other than taxes - it's the first thing in the name and the only thing you thin skinned cheapskates care about.Here's the imbalance, made plain; our generation gets to vote on the funding for this generation of schoolkids but they don't get to vote on the debt we hand them for funding our medical care (which we don't pay for, in full) roads and bridges that have crumbled on our watch and the legacy costs for two unfunded wars that most of us supported but didn't fight.
Who will carry your dead weight in debt?
Today's schoolkids.Who is thrown under the bus by this blatant attempt to drive down teacher wages?
Today's schoolkids.You're leading the charge against the defenseless, crying Patriotism when the final analysis reveals you to be parasites.

I've just read the originating article.
If a man wrote something so derogatory about women, it would be censored.
My guess is that the originating author of "Sexism in Newport" is only twenty-something for another few short years.
As a former wallflower in the mating dance I say to her and her entourage -
"Cry me a river"
It's a First World lament, where an expensive education raised the expectations of a generation that can't be met - 80% of the women now pursue 20% of the men.
