A UNC-Greensboro instructor is subject to a drive-by insulting, which prompts her to write an article in the UNCG Carolinian equating her experience to that alleged by the strippers at the Duke lacrosse party (alleged, hell ? to her they’re clearly guilty):

As I stood there, a car drove by with two young guys in it, headed west, away from campus. The passenger leaned of his window and yelled at me, “Hey, whore!” and the car kept driving. …

I have never gotten used [to] how college men and women treat college women. When the college guy in the car looked me in the eye and called me a whore yesterday, I laughed at how ridiculous the situation was. But just a few minutes ago, I saw a news clip of the Duke lacrosse team on television and I don’t think his name-calling is ridiculous anymore. …

Last night, I found out that one of my superstars, a male student, sat in a bar this week and called a woman a slut because she had slept not only with him, but also with a friend of his. … I was so disappointed that my most forward-thinking, kind-hearted, and ethical male student could say such terrible things about a college woman.

I mean, really. If a woman that chooses to have sex with you is a slut, and a woman pruning her roses is a whore, then a woman that your sports team hires to dance topless at a private house party can be no more than a prostitute asking to be beaten, strangled, and raped. Right?

Well, that was last week. Look what one finds in this week’s Carolinian, one finds this:

At the end of the dinner party, my hosts asked me what I thought of the evening and the man they were trying to hook me up with. I just looked at them and said, “I can’t go out with him. He is a whore.”

Also, there’s a shocking letter to the editor that complains about the student newspaper’s sex column. The writer takes issue with “the pornographic nature”1 of the column2, saying:

This is a public university’s newspaper and I don’t think we should have pornographic pictures/images being published on its pages. In the past year, I have seen naked women, naked zombies, and dildos all making appearances. Don’t get me wrong, I love the licking lesbians and erotic tales that she tells, but I just think this newspaper isn’t the place for it! I’m as red-blooded as any guy on campus, but there has to be a line drawn somewhere about having class and good taste!

Class? Taste? Is he saying a sex column is an affront to class and taste? Well! If a sex column about zombies and dildoes can be classless and distasteful, then a woman your sports team hires to dance topless can be no more than a prostitue asking to be beaten, strangled, and raped. Right?

Notes

1. This week’s column listed several pornographic web sites, which the author recommends to help students with their “masturbation breaks to relieve all that stress.”

2. Q.v, the above and also the following examples: one, two (see the additional links contained within example two), three and four.
