Still Chilly at Harvard

The debate about the Harvard snow penis rages on as the snow —and tensions —in Cambridge slowly melt. The destruction of the snow penis was discussed last night at the Radcliffe Union of Students meeting, with reactions ranging from full support of the women who whacked it apart to chagrin that anyone ever cared about the stupid thing in the first place.

My snow vagina idea was shot down. Apparently I have a "fundamental misunderstanding or ignorance of what an erect penis means as opposed to a vagina." (I know, I know. History, world culture, etc. But… why can't a snow vagina be a powerful —and fun —thing for women to build?) Of course, in Kent, Ohio even snow breasts can bring the appropriateness police.

My favorite idea was that the proper response to the snow penis was to not destroy it, but to put up posters opposing the penis and its societal meaning. Doesn't that sound right? Make fun of an erection and it's bound to go away.
