But seriously, it's really astounding how little spirit Hahvahd has at times. Bear in mind that, while they do occupy about half the stadium for The Game, WE occupy the other half.

So, let's recap:
1. their president has, as the whole world now knows, hired fewer women every year he's been in office;
2. their glee club doesn't allow women;
3. women at hahvahd still play sports for "radcliffe college" and get degrees from hahvahd and radcliffe (probably not that big of a deal, but it seems to me that they're doing their best to remind the women there that they are Different From Men);
4. they encourage, in some sense, their women to wear spandex and gyrate their hips as entertainment for basketball fans. Say what you like about the merits of dance and I will listen; I love dance. I think it is a great art. I go to all of my friend Ariel's YaleDancers shows, 'cause they're awesome. But what the hahvahd girls were doing was not artistic dance. It was, as you said, "take me now, I'm cheap" dancing.
Conclusion: Yale is a happier place for women. Of course, it's a happier place for everyone.

I wonder whether it occurs to most cantab undergrads that maybe they should be offended by their state of affairs.
