I'll see your female playwright class, and raise you a year's worth of visits to Planned Parenthood for affordable oral contraceptives. Oh, us zany, unlovable feminists!

Watch out, you'll confuse him. Bobert likes his categories in neat and tidy boxes.

As long as you're happy, what do I care? Would he date a woman in a feminist studies program, or would he have preferred a demure coed studying elementary education?

Read a travel guide sometime. Read one on Lisbon for that matter. It will tell you the stereotypical vibe of each of the city's neighborhoods, in neat and tidy boxes.

BTW, 44% of the men are tending toward the NO on this. Yzette was honest enough to admit she voted YES, which disrupts the "honor code."

Not at all.

I have in the past, and it was just for flings. In my experience these girls who major in women studies, it's a bigger example of saying one thing and meaning the other. Try having a meaningful conversation about say a Emma Goldman (post American deportation in particular) or Hannah Arendt, it's almost like staring at someone pondering a rhetorical question. I'm not knocking her choice of major, but if it's something that she's passionate about at least be able to hold your weight when asked or questioned about things in that realm (and please try reading Rand before trying to drop a deuce on her based on heresy).

I don't know. He's been with a theatre arts and English double major who has been an inner city youth worker, a newspaper reporter and editor, a Legal Aid paralegal, and a teacher of autistic children, in addition to being a feminist, for the past five years, so I'm guessing neither?

Whoa, whoa! The "traditional" woman is embarrassed about sex, and doesn't use birth control, because it's not "traditional", and besides, the Pope said it's bad, and the Bible said sex is bad, so ... gee, it looks like not too much sex for Bobert. Unless he gets some phone numbers from Tiger...

Hey, Robert, did Mama use birth control? How did mom and dad do it, the "traditional" way? Missionary position only? Sounds like fun. Well, you know, if it was good enough for Mama, it's good enough for sonny-boy.

edit: The votes are still neck and neck.

Correct. I think the passion is misplaced.

Well, when a Wellesley offers an elective course like "Film: the Latina depicted as a Bombshell," how do you expect them to stand their ground on anything of substance. But if you ask them about Tracy Chapman, they could probably tell you the whereabouts of her next concert.

Same goes for most people about most subjects. Lets take things people put in their bodies everyday. They don't even understand the ingredients label on the processed foods they eat, let alone the physiochemistry, metabolism, ec of their own bodies. And forget about the pain killers and whatever drugs they suck down in droves on a daily basis. They don't want to know. They don't care. And they certainly cannot discuss it. They cannot discuss themselves, which is bizarre to me.

The funny thing is that this thread was started at 4:03 (est) and it's well over 20 pages, that's hilarious considering the topic.
