Liz Colville ’05 expressed intense offense towards the TheFacebook.com student group, “The Wesleyan Raise Your Standards Crusade.” Certainly, we all agree that a website dedicated to quantifying the number of people you know and slighting Bob Weisz for being alive is the strongest possible indication of societal trends. That aside, is the existence of a group titled, “The Wesleyan Raise Your Standards Crusade” really that much of a problem? I’d have to say “no,” because if you are a guy who truly believes that no Wes girl can match your perfect beauty, it has gotten to a point, to quote Lewis Black, that your ego is eating itself.
Any guy who enters a party and sincerely says to himself, “no, these girls aren’t good enough,” combines arrogance and masochism in a way that gives me an ulcer. I say this because what a person in this scenario is really saying is, “Sure, I’ll hook up with these girls, but only because I’m a mechanical sex robot and not because I like them.” This is really just masochism, and I sincerely doubt that any guy who attends this school is quite that self-loathing. And if he is, then he deserves his misery, because he’s an asshole.
Anyway, most of those who seem so disenchanted with the so-called aesthetic mediocrity of the girls at “Westech” are not transferring to Sexpot University in droves. This is because what groups someone joins on the paragon of truth that is the Facebook do not reflect his or her legitimate theories about anything. The “WRYSC” isn’t something to get angry about: it’s the impotent whining of people who are angry they must wait until the summer for fresh meat. Nothing more, though probably a whole lot less.
