The New Sex Scribes--Female columnists spark interest and controversy at student newspapers

This is not from The Onion. What are they teaching at the University of Kansas these days?

[Windsong]

"A young woman who is independent, outspoken, and sexually confident..."

Quite often, especially with liberal State colleges and universities, this can be loosely translated with just one word:

Whore.

[Maceman]

"She's created a little firestorm," says one Kansas administrator, who asked not to be named.

I'm sure she would have created even more of a firestorm, including picketers, stolen newspapers and calls for censorship by the administration, if she had been a conservative political columnist -- especially a pro-life one.

"College is all about sex"???

Silly me, I thought it was about learning, education, and opening a path to a lucrative career.

[Maceman]

What are they teaching at the University of Kansas these days?

We're not in Kansas anymore, Toto.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I think you're on to something.

It's not just in Kansas, Toto

[Temple Owl]

Absolutely Maceman, My thoughts exactly. Not that this kid ever would, but just suppose she had written an article opposing abortion--worse yet, favoring the Ten Commandments. Whew, what a firestorm that would have created!

[Temple Owl]

I know, I just did not expect it in Kansas. It's more of a Swarthmore or Brown thing.

[Hemingway's Ghost]

Ms. Bainum says. "The fact is, I've written about stuff I haven't done."

Yeah, sure. Rule #1: Write what you know.

[NeoCaveman]

Ms. Bainum says. "The fact is, I've written about stuff I haven't done."

Yeah, sure. Rule #1: Write what you know.

I don't believe in the veracity of her statement either.

[MinorityRepublican]

Absolutely Maceman, My thoughts exactly. Not that this kid ever would, but just suppose she had written an article opposing abortion--worse yet, favoring the Ten Commandments. Whew, what a firestorm that would have created!

Or how about dismantling the welfare state?

[Eric in the Ozarks]

I always thought KU had a pretty good J School...

[CatoRenasci]

Well, my friends who grew up in Kansas often have tried to convince me it wasn't a backwater untouched by civilization since its role in starting the Late Unpleasantness...

[Hemingway's Ghost]

I also think this genius' statement applies to a broader audience:

"Among college students, there's this idea that other people are having more sex and better sex than they are," Ms. Fulbright says.

Unless you're Ron Jeremy, try "among everyone," Toots.

"There is something wonderful in knowing that person's love and passion are for you, and you only."

Sounds like, in her case, it's for just about everyone. Wonder what kind of guy will want to marry her. And I wonder what kind of kids she'll raise (those that aren't aborted). Hey sweetie, it's time to "own our vaginas"... Let me show you how...
