I sat in on an English class studying Ginsberg's "Howl." There was such an adoration of the Beats, with absolutely no mention of their sexism or other downsides, that I felt women were completely invisible to the discussion. Then I visited Sarah Lawrence College. Nuff said. It's funny to me that had I graduated from Yale, people would assume I'm much smarter than my degree from SLC seems to make me.

Great post.<BR/><BR/>I related to it because there is a huge debate about my college's Grievance Panel, and the need for reform going on right now (it's where sexual assault cases are handled, and I didn't even know it existed until our college feminist group started talking about it.
