This piece explores the imbalance of male and female populations on campus; higher female populations are rumored to cause more strain on dating culture.
I think some of this article is ridiculous, but there is one quote I appreciate.
"“Women do not want to get left out in the cold, so they are competing for men on men’s terms,” she wrote. “This results in more casual hook-up encounters that do not end up leading to more serious romantic relationships. Since college women say they generally want ‘something more’ than just a casual hook-up, women end up losing out.”"
This one is absurd:
"As for a man’s cheating, “that’s a thing that girls let slide, because you have to,” said Emily Kennard, a junior at North Carolina. “If you don’t let it slide, you don’t have a boyfriend.”"
Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat? Who are these girls?
Gawker posted about it too.

Atlas Shrugged [E-mailed]
Here's an e-mail I received from a friend that I thought was interesting enough to post verbatim. I've never read Atlas Shrugged (I know, so sue me) but now my interest is piqued -- is the entire book very good?

sooooo this break i've been reading ayn rand's atlas shrugged - really really interesting. buuut here's a passage i just HAD to share
about sex. you can interchange the him and her as you wish
"He will always be attracted to the woman who reflects his deepest vision of himself, the woman whose surrender permits him to experience - or to fake - a sense of self-esteem. The man who is proudly certain of his own value, will want the highest type of woman he can find, the woman he admires, the strongest, the hardest to conquer - because only the possession of a heroine will give him the sense of an achievement, not the possession of a brainless slut."
a little harsh on the "brainless slut" part - but sort of interesting when we think about people we're attracted to
sorry if this bores you, i just had to share, and am sitting at home reading alone, so obvi blitz [e-mail] comes to the rescue.
anywaysssssss happppy new years!
