Sorry, but my eyes glazed over as I read this. It's utter pabulum, the kind of sexual politics you'd expect from any second-tier college Gender Studies department. I flagged it because I don't think it's really all that interesting, nor do I believe it belongs on HN. It's 2011. Women have earned the right to be who they want to be. The piece also ignores the fact that women easily outnumber men on the average college campus in the US. Women earn more doctorates and master's degrees than men today. But what this woman cannot get her head around is that men have the upper hand in the game of sexual brinkmanship. Sex is cheap, as has been discussed previously here on HN and elsewhere. Cheap sex means the value of it has been debased, and the power women could once wield over the sexual transaction is diminished: http://www.slate.com/id/2286240/pagenum/all/#p2 http://www.slate.com/id/2286240/pagenum/all/#p2 Now, do I think it's insulting to ask women to dress up as hookers? Sure it is. I wasn't raised to treat women badly or with anything less than total respect. But these ladies have got to start taking some responsibility for their lot in life. For God's sake, go read some Camille Paglia! Women do everything that men do today, so revel in it. Stop complaining about how betrayed you are by the feminist movement.
