As for the kippa being controversial - I got that from some comments I read online so I'm not going to take it out. xxoxoComplaint Departmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11516520104036464458noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744252801237077749.post-32985784220508946522011-12-14T23:17:11.846-05:002011-12-14T23:17:11.846-05:00ames- you know i always appreciate your humour and...ames- you know i always appreciate your humour and am a huge fan of your blogging. <br /><br />however, two reports are incorrect and i think you are misinterpreting some of the key elements of the situation. <br /><br />corrections: <br />a. it is not an all female newspaper, it is actually the only officially co ed one. <br />b. the kippah removal bit was not at all a point of contention. i don't think people even realized that he did that. <br /><br />i did appreciate your point about her having second thoughts. i think that speaks to the crux of article, more than any other part. in writing the article, the author was was trying to convey her "dual life" and expose a reality that is otherwise ignored (or so she obviously felt). Premarital sex for many orthodox women would create a notion of a "dual life" because it is antithetical to the tenants of the religion to which they devote their lives to. <br /><br />people were outraged because:<br />a. the article was of no literary value, yet it was published anyways.<br />b. people felt that the only reason it was published was to create controversy (which it apparently did). <br />c. it did not open dialogue like people had hoped an article of this nature would. <br /><br />finally, i think the real shame of it all, the true tragedy (more than the censorship/defunding/media attention) all is that students feel so constrained but the university, that they must rebel in way. this rebellion takes the form of sex scandal articles. if the university were to loosen its grip they have on its students, sex scandal articles would not be necessitated. <br /><br />i think thats it, and i otherwise enjoyed the read.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2744252801237077749.post-21689633275245274262011-12-14T21:22:13.095-05:002011-12-14T21:22:13.095-05:00what are you saying... religious Jews have sex bef...what are you saying... religious Jews have sex before marriage on occasion.... it's a Shanda!
