I was overly heartened to read the account of the "Frat Boys" who protected the American Flag on Campus when the scum tried to tear it down again.

Gave me hope.

But yes. I see the point the author makes. These young women appear to be wholly under the spell of those who contrive to pull strings on campus.

It makes me think of that passage in Orwell's seminal work 1984

"...Winston had disliked her from the very first moment of seeing her. He knew the reason. It was because of the atmosphere of hockey−fields and cold baths and community hikes and general clean−mindedness which she managed to carry about with her. He disliked nearly all women, and especially the young and pretty ones. It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy..."

I think Orwell recognized something back in 1945 that is either ignored or obscured by people today.
