that fucking blow up doll

Hello out there. I would like to share something with you that happened on my campus last semester--something that everyone here is sick of dealing with and sick of having to deal with it at all. What happened was some guys on my campus decided to duct tape a naked blow up doll to their window (facing the quad). They taped her spread eagled, and bound at the mouth.

Needless to say, I was outraged. However, I was more outraged at the administration for not doing a damn thing. They thold us (the students protesting) that the boys were protected by the first ammendment, and had the right to decorate their room as they pleased.

Now, I am constantly reminded that I go to a overwhelmingly white school in the deep south, but you better believe that if those boys had put a burning cross in their window, they would've been forced to take it down. So, as the tale goes, some of us "young ladies" took these "hot blooded American boys" before our judicial board.

girls who kick ass

I would like to dedicate a little piece of this site to the women in fiction that make us look good. They are the trend setters, the independent and strong grrls, the beautiful fictional characters that just simply kick ass and are in some ways changing the face of that mythical woman we all look up to as little girls -- or not so little grrls.
