RE: crowd sourced sexual harassment?
Quote:As a freshman at Harvard, she started a blog called Sex and the Ivy, where she wrote about her hookups, self-medication with alcohol, recovery from an eating disorder and crushing desire to be liked. All standard stuff for a college student.
Hookups.
Self-medication with alcohol.
Eating disorder.
Crushing desire for approval.
All standard stuff?
If this sort of self-destructive behaviour is considered the normalised mindset of a female college student, then the pressures of college and the working world are obviously too much for them to bear and driving them to misery. Why, then, encourage their education at all, particularly if they apparently have a 1 in 4 chance of also getting raped at college? If you're simply not resilient enough to handle high pressure, continuing to expose yourself to it is madness. The life obviously isn't for you. Be a housewife.
The other thing I'll dispute from the article: behaviours that are all obvious cries for attention (casual sex, alcohol abuse, eating disorders, desire for approval), are attention-whoring behaviours, and calling them out for what they are isn't misogyny, but a distate for weasel language that will only enable her continued misery by protecting her ego from reality.

Well said, I roll my eyes, whenever the 'stresses' of college are mentioned.
looking for a new signature.

No you wouldn't. She's foul. As is Lazewatsky.
As somebody who was around for round 1 of this - the AutoAdmit site mentioned in the linked fluff piece is a forum for students at elite law schools - the reason these girls received the wrath of the internet isn't because they "embraced their sexuality" or any rationalization bullshit like that. It's because they went on the attack against the groups making fun of them, and continued to escalate the encounters in an effort to grab more attention. The real lesson Lena Chen might have learned by now is that when somebody rips on you on the Internet, ignoring it will make it go away. See, e.g., the standard response to Tuthmosis' eating disorder article: "OMG this is terrible and nobody should read it!!! I'm going to write an article and retweet it for the next week!!!"
For further reference in how not to respond to online harassment, look up Brittan Heller, Heide Irevani, Michael Fertik and his company Reputation Defender, and "the LOLsuit."

In college, I took a full course load, had a part-time job, gf, and played in about 5 different bands at the same time.
Yes, it was taking its toll on me, scholastically and emotionally. Bit off more than I could chew, I admit.
But I didn't have the need to go advertise about it in a column like a fucking narcissist.
If you're gonna state your personal problems publicly, then fucking posit some fucking potential solutions already.
This is the difference between constructive criticism/problem-solving, vs. garden-variety freshman whining.
I hate to think this difference is based on gender, but ladies, the burden to convince me otherwise is on you.
