Carol — I didn’t mean that conservative men should want women to be sluts. (Good lord, where did you get that?) I was merely pointing out the same tension that you did — in the liberal campus’s collective imagination, there’s some sort of line (for men, but not women) between “helping women express/explore their sexuality” (good) and “sexual intimidation” (bad), and I’m not quite sure where it is.
Yale created an “intimidating” environment when male students yelled that they loved sluts; this campus hosted a “Slut Walk,” and some males yelled the same thing. Is the latter example intimidating or empowering?
