You're Just Not Worth It

Well Lesbie, we tried. You did not ask for our help, and although it was philanthropically given, it remained unwelcome. You and others with similar views wanted to defend yourselves. The result is expressed succinctly in an old legal saying: a person representing themselves has a fool for a client.

We read in your newspaper about the difficult problems Midtown girls suffer through, such as the relatively small number of fat-free snacks in Milner’s and the unacceptable taste and texture of Samantha somethings. Sorry to hear it.

We also had the opportunity to read about the clubs formed to hold events that benefit both Stern and its surrounding community. We are sure that "Tie-dye Night" was a memorable experience for those who attended, and we wait, with baited breath, for the next event of the "Meaningful Club."

Finally, we learned that intolerance afflicts girls at the Midtown campus. Numerous articles depicting the elitist attitudes of many of the students at the College for Stern Women document just how superficial and judgmental these girls can be.

Looking down on someone because they didn’t go to the right seminary or because they wear the wrong clothes? You try defending that!

We give up.
