This is, at best, a dubious line of reasoning, considering that final clubs' traditions and activities seem to consist mainly of drinking cheap beer and making snide remarks about nonmembers, both of which women are as fully capable of doing as men. The real question is, if final club members choose to cling to their beliefs, do women have a moral imperative to stop them...
...Mathews donned a particularly ghoulish mask of ignorance for his article on "Why Harvard [sic] Is Sick of Radcliffe." His crude sexism offends us all. Harvard, for which Joe Mathews blithely claims he is speaking, is not anti-woman or anti-Radcliffe. The last time I looked around here, snide machismo was out of favor with men as with women. Radcliffe College is a revered part of this institution--revered not just by its alumnae. It is more than fair to say that Harvard benefits immeasurably from Radcliffe's programs for education, research and public policy...
Jimmy is an intolerably boorish young man. His rear planted firmly in his easy chair, he spouts ironically muscular, violent language, insulting everyone and everything he can. McPartland's looks--his long hair and sideburns, unathletic body, and snide, lazy expression--are well suited to the role.

First, I must tell you that rare is the occasion when I pick up a pen to write such a letter but the unusually snide tone of those reviews really offended me and I very much want to convey these feeling to you. I am not a personal friend of Alek Keshisian's but I found your attacks against him and his work completely unnecessary and indefensible. you neglected to mention that Alek (according to my niece, a Harvard student), graduated summa cum laude. You preferred to focus on irrelevant nonsense such as his asthmatic difficulties and likening...
...place of the Bunting Institute (who needs graduate fellowships, anyway?) the Radcliffe Center could host a series of workshops to help conservatives deal with the pressures of living amongst all those vicious liberals. Prospective editorialists could cultivate that characteristic snide tone of voice. Brow-beaten moralists could learn to cope in the presence of revision and plurality...
