WTF?

Say hello to another round of censorship and double-standards.

Again, I say

WTF?

The University of Wisconsin-Eu Claire has placed a ban on RAs holding private, non-mandatory Bible studies in their dorm rooms because "students might not find [RAs] 'approachable' or might fear they'd be 'judged or pushed in a direction that does not work for them'."

I can't recall a time - during school and in the dorms - when I didn't feel I was being pushed in a direction that didn't work for me - it's the nature of college. It's real life! However, I was exposed to various viewpoints I'd never considered until then. Being an adult, I learned to make my own choices based on the available information and tried not to judge others for making choices to the contrary.

As a matter-of-fact, during my soph. year at UNI, our RA called us all into her room during our mandatory weekly meeting and taught us all how to perform safe oral sex. She pulled open a drawer full of various condoms - colored, flavored, textured - and encouraged us to discover with our partners what worked best for us as a couple. She used a cucumber obtained from food services and proceeded to show us how to apply the condom with our mouths, how not to use our teeth, and a whole lot more. The real kicker: this was endorsed by dorm administration.

As far as the "approachable" issue goes: I was very intimidated by tall, blonde, big-breasted women in college - and I wasn't alone. There's no way I'd ever rack up... I mean, stack up. Maybe tall, blonde, big-breasted women should be banned from the dorms because they make the rest of us feel physically inadequate. Ok. Ok. I know it's not the same thing because religion and politics aren't involved, but seriously! Even the guys were intimidated by the beautiful bombshells.

But the point is, the busty blondes weren't the ones who made me feel inadequate - I made myself feel the way I did. Adults must take responsibility for their thoughts and actions and stop censoring those whose legal and Constitutionally afforded activities make others feel uncomfy.
