Girls behaving badly

Yet another sorority party has degenerated in a booze-, vomit- and sex-filled debacle. Unlike some others, this sort of thing does not cause me to worry too much. I find it reassuring in a sense because I think the belief that women are in any sense morally superior to men is one of the silliest and most destructive ideas to ever afflict western culture.

And I find it bizarre beyond words that some feminists continue to support the idea.

Anyway, the phenomenon described above strikes me as a function of having more women than men in universities. A new female-dominated culture is forming as women are increasingly forced into the company of other women. If current trends continue, university will tend to become something of a mirror image of what it used to be. For a long time, most universities had all or mostly male populations meaning that men spent much of the years in which their sex drive was strongest in a male culture.

Women will now do the same.

I leave it to the reader to make what they will of this interesting tidbit from the report above:
... and tried to tear off the clothes of a female bartender ...
It's fascinating that they picked on another woman. One of the central claims of feminism is that women suffered by being expected to live up to male definitions of femininity.

That's true enough. But I wonder, however, if women will feel any better when they are expected to live up to definitions of femininity set by other women. I can think of at least one female bartender who might have her doubts.
