There is much I miss about college, and much I don't. Strangely enough, one of those co-ed experiences falls in both categories: the interaction between feminists and heterosexual males. One side is equipped with passion and sincerity. The other group carries nothing but a satchel of wit. Neither has what the other possesses, and the end product is glorious.

(This probably needs prefacing: women deserve equal rights, equal respect, and equal pay. Not all feminists are identical, and a handful of them are bright, open-minded, intelligent beings - some of whom I'd probably ask out on a date if given the chance.)

While my time on campus is long gone, the perpetual battle continues at Colorado College. A clan of men satirized a feminist campus newsletter, The Monthly Rag, with a dude-like pamphlet of their own, The Monthly Bag.

Wherein The Rag discussed topics like male castration, carrying dildos, and an advertisement to hear a lecture on "feminist porn," The Bag gave the campus insight on glass-ceiling myths, the wheelbarrow sex position, and a factoid on sniper rifles. Because of that last item, all copies of The Bag were confiscated by CC administrators for being "a threat" to the campus.

Okay, with the Northern Illinois and Virginia Tech shootings fresh in the world's cerebrum, co-eds publishing sniper rifle trivia could result in oversensitive jurisdiction. That makes some sense. (Although, if that's true, then jeez, let's disband those NCAA rifle teams.)

However, that was not the gambit CC administration used. The school's VP of student life, Mike Edmonds, focused on "the juxtaposition of weaponry and sexuality" as the reason for going balls out and sacking The Bag - because when it comes to sex and violence, there's a vas deferens between the two.

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) — think ACLU of collegiate free speech — is now defending the kids with the reasoning of (loosely paraphrased), "Well, the women's flier mentions male castration AND carrying dildos and talking about feminist porn. How is that not the same?"
