MSex Responds to Unseth

By Martin Quinones • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: Letters to the Editor

Sir:
As the Coordinator for MSex here at Brown, I am compelled to correct a factual error I noticed in your recent article “FemSex: Caught in the Act” by Senior Editor Joshua Unseth: “…Brown University now has the male version called MSex (it is like FemSex without the need to discuss how to use a strap-on).” [...]



FemSex responds to Unseth

By Katherine Stoeffel • Dec 6th, 2007 • Category: Letters to the Editor

Sir:
Joshua Unseth’s inaccurate, sexist rant on FemSex exemplified many of the less-flattering stereotypes circulating about conser-vatives: that they are uptight, sexually repressed, and anti-women.Although I agree with Unseth that students have a right to spaces that are free from sexual harassment, his article’s presumptions rendered it practically unreadable.

While visiting Brown to deliver a series of lectures at the Watson Institute for International Studies, I happened to pick up a copy of the March 2003 Brown Spectator. I was pleased to see that, unlike some campus conservative journals, the Spectator relies on argument rather than invective, and is [...]



Ideology Inevitable in College Curriculum

By Brookes C. Brown • Mar 1st, 2003 • Category: Letters to the Editor

In “Taking Brown off the Blacklist” (November, 2002), Alex Schulman presents a wandering attack on the current state of academics at Brown. Shulman builds his critique primarily from a list of courses published late last year by the Young American’s Foundation, with the intent of deriding the included courses as “ridiculous” and “ideological”.
