Freaking Out About Dancing
Every week, a new article ["Two Types of Dirty Dancing," June 3] appears with a new negative sexual trend: teenage girls giving oral sex to be popular or because they don't want to be seen naked; marriage counselors increasingly report that they hear women regret having a threesome; sex tapes seemingly everywhere; high school and college girls making out with each other for money or free beer from leering guys; and women attending shows to learn new "tips" from porn stars.
I don't think this is the equality that the feminist movement was fighting to get.
When it's just accepted that men and women all should love strip clubs and porn, there may be a problem. Is this due to America's conflicted views on sex? Europe isn't this screwed up, is it?

How College Has Changed
When I was a GWU student in the early 1940s, excessive drinking was rare [" 'Scary' Drinking Behavior Rises at GWU," June 3]. At that time, an exacting curriculum, particularly in the sciences, did not permit binge drinking, nor did living at home (most students were local) encourage such behavior. Today there may be more knowledge to absorb than when I attended school, but there seems to be less desire from students to do so. Instead, for many, college is for partying and socializing.
