Two noteworthy features in yesterday’s Washington Post:
1. The Style Invitational, the weekly humor-writing contest, displays its results of its requests for only-in-Washington pickup lines. The winner is: “Your beauty renders me as powerless as Del. Eleanor Holmes Norton.”
2. Showing someone at the Post reads Romenesko, a feature on the sex columnist for the Georgetown University student newspaper. She’s an aspiring Carrie Bradshaw for the Jesuit hookup joint. Julia Baugher is doing her best to be “hip” and sexually liberated, proclaiming “It’s my opinion that if you’re completely realistic about what you’re getting out of the situation, there’s absolutely no harm in a hookup. People have needs, right? I think the problem comes when people expect a relationship to come out of it.” Isn’t this just the kind of female mentality the single sex-crazed guy craves? Would you call it feminist?
