Call me a cynic, but I have never understood the widespread mentality that Duke really is some kind of "wonderland," Gothic or otherwise.

I'm all for fighting to improve women's rights and gender equality across campus. But sometimes, those efforts turn hypocritical and men have to start fighting back. Witness "objectification."...
