...exclusion of women is, in this context, immoral and unacceptable. Many women say they would never want to join a final club. Instead, they simply want the clubs abolished--a natural reaction by those who are barred. Many others, especially members of the final clubs, simply accept the clubs' exclusionary system with little question...
Double standards and badgering, a number of Harris and Klebold friends say, helped drive them to bombs and bullets. No one is suggesting that getting picked on is an excuse for committing mass murder, but they call it the context for Harris and Klebold's rage. "Did they snap? I think they snapped a bunch of times," says Brooks Brown. "Every time someone slammed them against a locker and threw a bottle at them, I think they'd go back to Eric or Dylan's house and plot a little more--at first as a goof, but more and more...

...then, in other schools where students use computers, slouch, and get stressed out, have so few students even heard of the disease, much less suffered from it themselves? Maybe it is in what Prof. Harrington calls the "context" of a disease. Gordon, with a note of amusement in her voice, describes a herd instinct she has observed in students reporting problems, "Whenever there s an article in the paper about that sort of thing we get a lot of people in here wondering if they have it." If RSI and chronic pain conditions like it are as culturally mutable...
