I believe Amherst has a Title IX problem in that the College is discriminating based on gender by banning fraternities. To say they are banning both fraternities and sororities doesn't cut it, since there is already a Department of Women's and Gender Studies, and there are no sororities to “ban”. Amherst has created an environment that is hostile to men by depriving them of the right to peaceful assembly, a right which is granted to every other conceivable subset of the College, even Republicans! The canard of the desire to remove vestiges of patriarchy is betrayed by the fact that the President is female. In fact President Biddy Martin is a feminist scholar whose books include “Femininity Played Straight - The Significance of Being a Lesbian”
