When they’re not busy setting up racially segregated housing or handing out degrees in Superhero Studies, America’s great institutions of higher learning get up to some really wacky things. Not a day goes by without a new one.
Today’s absurdity is brought to you by Brown University, where–according to the student body president–“not all people who menstruate are women” ( http://www.campusreform.org/?ID=8105 ). Call me un-hip, but I don’t know what the devil he means by that. Anyhow, they’re going around putting tampons and maxi-pads in the men’s bathrooms on the campus: because even for men, women’s hygiene products are “a necessity, not a luxury.”
I have no idea what these people are talking about.
A year ago we were told collidges couldn’t stage The Vagina Monologues anymore because it ain’t inclusive of “women who don’t have vaginas,” traditionally known as “men.”
Yes, I know, this discussion verges on the unseemly. But I can’t help it, and neither can you–that’s what our colleges are all about.
And if you send your offspring there, and pay through the nose to do it… well, the more fool you.
