    I first came across the “Application to Date My Daughter” on Facebook, and I was immediately perturbed. For the uninitiated, it’s pretty self-explanatory – an “application” to be turned into the stereotypical, over-protective dad by a would-be boyfriend. It’s also very disturbing and highly problematic. I understand that the audience for this type […]

  Image Source It takes time to choose clothing. It takes even longer to pull together a fashion that reflects your personal sense of style and expression. There’s a multitude of things to consider – the fit, the finances, the feel. The color, the texture, the material, the occasion, the space in your closet. But […]

  When I first stepped foot onto Scripps campus, I was excited and incredibly nervous. I hadn’t the slightest idea of what awaited me, and I didn’t know anyone. It was like the beginning of middle school all over again. But I looked forward to getting to know people and learning more about the campus […]

  Look at any fitness website, walk into any sports store, and you’ll be barraged by advertisements selling the best workout clothes, the latest in gym equipment, or the most effective sports drinks. These advertisements feature svelte females mid-run, faces looking inspired, with barely a hair out of place. Or they showcase muscular men weight-lifting […]

 Source At times, I think that an important linguistic distinction between assimilation and appropriation becomes lost amid our much-needed discussion about the fluidity of culture. Perhaps when, in the same argument, we start using two connotatively different words that both begin with ‘A’ and have five syllables, their distinctions become blurred. I’m really not sure, […]

  If you’re anything like me, a long day of studying is always alleviated by going to 5cdining.com and choosing a dining hall to eat in. With choices like Taco Tuesday, Mongolian Wok, and A.M in the P.M, this can be quite the ordeal, and is only exacerbated if you’re going to eat with a […]

I recently came across “Enigma,” a spoken word piece by Dave Anders-Richards that has been getting widespread praise from the community because it protests the sexual objectification of women. Although his thoughts are not the most profound, I agree with his general message until about two minutes in, when he addresses his male peers by […]

I used to think that this was as far as the conversation would go. However, I was recently directed to Diana Goldstein’s Fallen Princesses. (To see all of the images at once, try here.) […]
