Can "Bad Girls" Get a Clue?

Yesterday, I was surfing the web and came across a blog entry written by a woman, who was commenting on a blog entry written by a USC college frat boy, in which he was giving advice to his fraternity brothers on how to get all the sex he wanted at college. Sororities were referred to as soristitutes, and girls were ranked from 10 to 1 by their attractiveness, with all girls, regardless of what they looked like, fair game.

However, this type of activity by frat boys (or by men in general) isn't new. It's probably been going on since the 1400s, when universities of higher learning were first invented.

There was an episode of Law and Order a few years ago, in which the victim (murdered) had been the victim of just such a game by a frat boy. And since Law and Order episodes are typically taken from real-life cases, I knew that this must happen in real life.

Why do women put up with this? Because they do. Now the in-thing is "sexting" - a girl will take a nude picture of herself and send it to a boy she likes. He of course laughs, and shares it with all his friends - male and female - and the next day the girl is laughed at, humiliated, and eventually commits suicide. At least one girl has committed suicide because of this, and there's probably more.

And I'm thinking...don't these girls watch TV? Or don't they ever sit in the back of a bar and listen to a group of guys at a table nearby. Can't they hear what these guys think about women - all they think about women?

Yet they still think if a boy has sex with them, it's because he likes her and thinks she's attractive? Sorry, kid, he's having sex with you because you're a girl and you're willing to put out, and no, he won't respect you in the morning. That's why 70% of all kids born in the last couple of years have been born out of wedlock, and why 90% of those kids will grow up in utter poverty and repeat the cycle over and over.

Anyway, back to the nub of this post. At the blog post linked above, the author mentioned Tucker Max, someone whom I've never heard of, but who, after reading his bio in Wikipedia and his website, I believe to be the inspiration for the Law and Order ep and even, I think, an ep of Bones that had the same premise - a girl trying to get on a "reality show" where she wants to have sex with the TV host...whatever!

Anyway, here's a bit of the bio of Tucker Max at Wikipedia:
Tucker Max is an American lawyer, blogger and writer. He chronicles his drunken and sexual encounters in the form of short stories on his website TuckerMax.com, which has received millions of visitors since Max launched it for a bet in 2002.

Max's book I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell became a New York Times #1 bestseller and has made the Best Seller List each year from 2006 to 2010. It has sold over one million copies worldwide, including 400,000 copies in 2009 alone. He is also the founder of the now defunct Rudius Media, an Internet-based publishing outlet and management firm. His book was subsequently made into a feature film of the same title.

There's a photo of the man at his wiki bio page, and he's nothing special - certainly ot storybook handsome. I'd like to think that his "sexual encounters" are all made up in his mind, because in a sane world I don't see how any woman would want to get near him. Especially now that he's a household name and everyone - at least everyone in college - must know what he does, and why he does it. Yet instead of being ostracized by women everywhere, he probably has to beat them off with a stick.
