Or if they do, I hope this guy failed it, and was also drop-kicked by his professor. He’s a par for the course fuckwit college columnist for sure, but I’m having a hard time even getting the point of his fuckwittery because he’s such a bad writer. For example:
In his music video “Tip Drill,” Nelly uses a credit card to demonstrate the act of a man scraping his penis on a woman’s butt crack. And some time ago, “Sex in the City” featured a jogger who has a fetish of putting his tongue on that same general region.
Indeed, the condom is no longer a barrier but an enabler-freely dispensed for “health” reasons. Duke’s “Healthy Devils” brandish them on the Plaza because apparently the group thinks that the only reason to avoid something sexual is to avoid something that is physically “unhealthy.”
Which is, well… I’m just confused.
He continues:
And, it is often said these days that each of us must express an “inner identity” or a “true self” through conscious action to be unique. Accordingly, people declare that the quest for sexual individuality justifies exposure to sex in its crudest forms.
As Duke’s LGBT Center Web site explains, “As an individual lets go of their heterosexual identity, they may experience a sense of isolation, of no longer fitting into the heterosexual world around them.” It adds, “The more comfortable you feel in college, the better you will do, and the more enjoyable your college years will be.”
I found this unsurprising.
From there it goes into a bizarre rant against bisexuality.
The public obsession with identity has forced the bisexual to act on his or her urges. As in heterosexuals, this is a form of deviancy because lust threatens sex’s role in entering relationships of love.
The bisexual, to conform to the public identity, must express urges for both sexes. Yet some things are in fact best left unexplored.
Perhaps the bisexual should consider reverting to heterosexuality with the understanding that sexual expression is slavishness to the ideology of identity rather than something truly beneficial.
It is important to understand that the bisexual identity is a creation of people intent on supporting the discussion of identity, not encouraging love. Suppressing urges out of shame and decency facilitates love; expressing desires for the sake of identity does not.
I do not expect many to agree with me. I only point out the situation in the hopes of showing to a few of our more prude peers that their suppressions (whether voluntary or not) of sexual desires for both sexes are more healthy than the brazen applications of rubbers and jellies in the name of health, progress and identity could ever be.
I really hate to pull the “he’s homophobic because he’s secretly gay” card, but this guy really sounds like he has some, er, “identity” issues (to use his terminology). Unless I’m totally misunderstanding him, which, given his general ineptitude with the written word, may be the case. Does the Duke Chronicle not employ editors?
The comments, however, are hilarious.
