The Antebellum Campus

Today's campuses have a LOT in common with the Old South, pre-Civil War:

• ALL women are fragile, delicate flowers


• They cannot TAKE coarse, rough language


• They are put on a pedestal (in today's terms, they CANNOT be criticized for ANYTHING)


• They can say or do anything, without forfeiting their position


• They can chastise any men, without fear of being contradicted


• They are prone to the vapors if the subject veers into potentially upsetting topics


• Their virtue (sexual and otherwise) may NOT be questioned


• They are not responsible for their actions - it was ALWAYS the fault of the big, bad man


• They are ENTITLED to support from some man, or the government - surely, you don't expect them to PAY for their upkeep?
