Neocon College Student Encourages Prudery, Wears Bride Costume for Halloween

Admittedly, I can’t help but vociferously indulge in op-ed pieces written by reactionary Ohio University senior Ashley Herzog. A Herzogophile to the core, every foray into her column archive is an intoxicating anthropological journey in which I am exposed to the alien culture of antiquated gender clichés and talismans against the subaltern. Yesterday, “Classes Conservatives Should Avoid” offered a good bit of shock value and renewed my sense of wonder at the world, while today I will probably find no fodder for amusement which could even compare to “The College ‘Hook-up’ Culture.”

Herzog explains that women and men have different sexual needs, besides the obvious ones that result from anatomical disparities. According to Herzog:

For decades, feminists have been propagating the myth that men and women have equal desires for and reactions to casual sex. A woman who engages in multiple trysts is “embracing her sexuality” – and if she has doubts afterwards, she’s simply experiencing unnecessary guilt heaped upon her by a patriarchal society. Women and men are really the same, they say, so why shouldn’t a woman “have sex like a man”?
College women are slowly starting to realize that it’s all a lie…

Unfortunately, many college women have been brainwashed by a popular culture that embraces a combination of girl-power feminism and the Playboy philosophy. They believe that sex is just for fun and casual hook-ups have no emotional consequences. They believe they are just like men.

I can hardly wait to read Herzog’s take on Sarah and Bristol Palin. Will she be able to agree with Gloria Steinem that McCain picked the “wrong woman” or will her anathema for the Left back her into the corner of the mother of an unwed teenage mother who may indeed have embraced the “hook-up” culture? Will she boycott the republican nominee like Ann Coulter? Until her next column is published, I suppose I’ll have to settle for re-reads, Rush Limbaugh, and a few chuckles over the irony of the bride costume she evidently wore for Halloween.
