...have been struggling with this for weeks. I have listened to my friends joke about it and rail against it while I stood by silently with my secret. Today, though, I am coming out of the closet. My name is Nathaniel, I’m a freshman, and I want to be Quadded...
...primary and women as secondary. When women are wholly sure of ourselves, we will not need a women’s center, because we will recognize that the Science Center and the Barker Center are just as much ours as any man’s. We will not rail hysterically against any suggestion of “innate gender differences,” but will rather curiously consider where XY and XX do diverge.

While acknowledging that the measure was only symbolic and unenforceable, activists and council members practically fell over each other to rail against the word's toxic effect. The ban, of course, will fail, not because it is an unenforceable waste of time, words and taxpayer's money (it's technically a "resolution," which does not require the Mayor's signature), but for the same reasons that other kinds of cleansing efforts have...
