Contrarily, there are piles of research being done in the mass communications field about the "pussification" of today's man. Think about it: when was the last time you could walk into a clothing store that wasn't a thrift shop WITHOUT seeing "faded," "distressed," "bootcut," or otherwise countermasculine pairs of jeans? With women's lib moving well beyond the forefront, we're wanting a softer, more sensitive man because WE are now harder, more socially aggressive women.
Thankfully, these things swing like pendulums. Eventually, we'll reach that happy medium. I'm looking forward to the day when I can burn my bra AND bring my metrosexual husband a beer while he watches Saturday Night Figure Skating on TV.
Two: You want a more accurate overgeneralization? St. Mark's is full of sluts. Yes, they come in all IQs, but unless you want the clap I would suggest not looking there.
Three: I resent being called stiff, lifeless, and Oriental, as I am none of the three. WHy do you say so much bad shit about our school? Did it ever occur to you that your attitude was making your view of things immeasurably worse?
Four: I like Phil Collins, and Peter Gabriel. Take your pretentious, unfounded, irritating, and frankly wrong musical opinions and shove them up your arse. Or be treated to my chilly, brutal British wrath
