Well, what Really Started It All, apparently, was an issue of the newspaper with an article about the men on campus. One of the male graduate students wrote a letter in response, and then a woman wrote a letter in response to /his/ letter. And so it goes.

Unfortunately, I don't have the original article or the grad student's letter, but I have the woman's letter. I'll be happy to transcribe it, if anyone's interested.

I'm more of a believer in equality and balance. Neither gender is superior, and I hate most men and women anyway. To be honest I tend to dislike women moreso...

Well, yeah, I'm a believer in equality and balance, too. And maybe neither gender is superior, but people like to put themselves in a /position/ of superiority whether they're actually better or not. I can't say I like or dislike one gender over the other--I attend a women's college and all, but both genders have their pitfalls. However, I find the environment at a women's college to be less competitive, and people are more outspoken; nobody feels like they have to "impress" anyone else, and the professors can't give preference to one gender over the other.

I could go on and on, but I don't mean to start a discussion thread in Gen's journal or anything, so I'll just stop now. ^^;;
