I would bet his parents right now are imagining a photo of their beautiful son in handcuffs being on the internet for a lifetime.

To be fair, all three are good points.

me too

I think "segregation" is perhaps not the right word for all the contexts we're talking about. Generally when I think of segregation, it's referring to a deliberate system where one group is specifically excluded from benefits. Schools were desegregated after Brown v. Board of Education because the schools in black…

Thanks for your input. That's particularly interesting about the social life. When I was there we were pretty active in Oakland and in San Francisco. But maybe things have changed.

In another string, you asked why Sweet Briar didn't join the 21st century and admit men (or something to that effect). It might be helpful to know that women-only education has value. To start, there have been many studies that show that in co-ed classrooms, men dominate the discussion. This is not just about the…

Might I? Yes, Mills had a difficult time getting through the recession, as many businesses did. The new president is doing her best to make up for some poor choices made during that recession. I'm sure it was difficult to be there through staff cuts and layoffs, but those of us in the working world were all going…

In the lawsuits against universities and clubs that only admitted men, the argument was that those clubs and universities offered opportunities for social and economic success that simply were not available to women. For example, there was no equivalent to the Virginia Military Institute that women could attend. VMI…

Sweet Briar students are the Vixens? That is awesome.

Here are more details about what we did at Mills: http://www.mills.edu/news/2010/stor…

Fight! I was at Mills College in 1990 when the board of trustees voted to go co-ed. The students shut down the college for two weeks. We blockaded the entrances to administrative buildings for 24 hours a day. This was before smartphones, so a few people had email at home but not many. The college work couldn't get…

Moriarty, I'm seconding La.C. here. I didn't do copper because I had heavy period and didn't want them to be heavier. I have the Mirena and it not only is a baby stopper, but my periods are now almost nonexistent. Getting it put in depends on your, er, personal geography. My obgyn said my opening was twisty or crooked…

Love love love this one. Don't forget Jason Alexander as the King's assistant who organizes the ball. And the music is gorgeous. They added in a song from another Rogers & Hammerstein musical at the beginning and it works beautifully.

I do agree. Anna was the sympathetic character, and the hero of the story whose love overcomes evil. Of course the evil is the effect of the parents' terrible, terrible parenting, but let's not dwell... Anyway, I do see the Elsa madness as a triumph of little girls' desire to have awesome ice powers over Disney's…

Exactly.

Huh! I saw it when it first came out, and Anna was definitely being pushed by Disney as the hero of the picture. Elsa was the difficult-to-understand villain-turned-sympathetic character. All that could be found at first were Anna dolls, Anna costumes, Anna toys. My tweener daughters were not having any of that. Anna…

Aw, it looks nice. I like the pre-couture era when everyone just wanted to wear a pretty dress.

"fellow SLA member Sarah Jane Olson" is a little harsh — the "fellow" part — considering Hearst was pardoned and said she was brainwashed and abused into participating. Olson was her captor/abuser, not her "fellow."

I hope you've seen Heathers. Also, I hope Heathers is as amazing as I thought it was in the 80s. My friends and I watched it every weekend. Every. Weekend. And that was college.
