VOICE OF THE PEOPLE (LETTER)
Bad behavior

Chicago -- This is regarding "Avoid spring-break benders, women told" (News, March 8). Why does the Tribune warn women not to go wild during spring break, and it does not warn men? Are men's spring breaks less likely to result in "heavier-than-usual drinking" and "increased sexual activity," as the article reported about women? The article also stated, "Sizable numbers [of college women and graduates] reported getting sick from drinking, and blacking out and engaging in unprotected sex or sex with more than one partner." Are women less likely than men to get "sick from drinking" and black out and engage "in unprotected sex or sex with more than one partner"? Are men less likely than women to engage in "public nudity and dancing on tables" while intoxicated, as reported in the Tribune's online version of the story? How can "increased sexual activity" and "unprotected sex or sex with more than one partner" be a problem for women without being a problem for men?

Yeah, I don't know why they had to change my letter. I like my version better.
Editors like to edit things.
Those who can do, do.
Those who cannot do, teach.
Those who can neither do nor teach, they become journalists.
If you are a complete waste of flesh and blood, they make you an editor.
