Drum roll please....Penn State University feminists showed their true colors by presenting C**tFest and SexFaire.
Both events were funded by the university and "celebrated" women through tactics such as live nude performances, a "Tent of
Consent" (later shut down by the university), and the proclamation of white males as the common enemy of all oppressed.
Enlarged papier-mâché female genitals were used as cups to serve punch. Soaps in the shape of private parts were passed out
as favors. In the hypocritical tone reflected by most of today's radical feminists, Penn State activists protested when a Hooters
franchise threatened to move into the campus community, claiming the restaurant objectified women and threatened women's safety
on campus. The message sent to campus males was pretty obvious: women like objectification, but only when they are the objects
of other women.
Next up....Eve Ensler's The Vagina Monologues, which graced college campuses in 43 states. As part of the V-Day Initiative (yes,
"V" stands for "vagina"), college feminists were encouraged to perform the play in an effort to "reclaim the word," or as one
participant exclaimed, turn the word "vagina" into something positive for women-such as mother goddess. Regardless of how the
rest of campus women or men felt about the play, posters with painted renditions of female genitalia were scattered across many
college campuses and participants were encouraged to buy V-Day Initiative t-shirts that contained the aforementioned graphic.
Traditional Valentine's Day celebrations were shunned in favor of V-Day. No men with candy or flowers allowed, unless in a manner
celebrating, or reclaiming, a body part that was once considered private.
Item number three: Author and commentator Ann Coulter was excessively harassed while speaking at Duke University and, more
recently, Cornell University (her alma mater). At Duke the campus feminists berated her for her views on abortion and the Violence
Against Women Act. Cornell was even less kind, hurling oranges at her before she was almost physically attacked. All in all,
women's groups were militant, settling for low blows to Coulter's intelligence and appearance and practicing their pitching with
oranges.
Now that radical feminist groups have reclaimed words, set new, albeit subjective, standards for decency, insulted their juxtaposed
colleagues, and greatly diminished the prospects of any dating activity on their college campuses, you'd think there would be little
left to do but finish final exams and pack-up. Think again. The battle for supremacy, rages on.
Besides this list of fine accomplishments, radical feminists also dabbled in creating school policy. At Columbia University, Students
Active for Ending Rape (SAFER) pushed through a new sexual harassment policy which denies those accused of basic rights in
the criminal justice system. Apparently due process could have a negative impact on women. Those accused of sexual misconduct
are not allowed to be present during testimony by the victim, denied the right to cross examine witnesses, and are not allowed to
have an attorney present. Graduates beware, as charges of sexual misconduct can be brought up five years after the alleged
incident and can result in Columbia rescinding a degree previously granted.
Which leads me to my original question....is it any wonder why boys won't ask girls out on a date? Radical feminists have
succeeded in turning college campuses across the country into full-blown circus acts, equipped with rudely outrageous
performances, orange throwing contests, and the simple denial of our given rights as Americans. This is one circus where the
clowns aren't the only performers to be scared of.

As students retreat from the world of academia for the summer, we are offered the chance to reflect
on the campus brouhaha and rampant emotions of the past year. Undoubtedly, campus feminist groups carried the torch for
receiving the most press coverage in 2000-2001. In a single year, feminist groups at American colleges and universities managed
to rename Valentine's Day, show their aggressive, militant side by shutting down prominent female speakers on their campuses,
and (ending the year with a bang) protest facts regarding sexual violence against women.
Is there any wonder why it's harder than ever for a girl to get a date at college?
