College president accused of sexism after posing with male students raising money for charity
Article here. Excerpt:
'Faculty at East Stroudsburg University are questioning whether the school is too cavalier about sexual assaults and has a double standard when it comes to gender after the university’s president tweeted a photo of herself with scantily clad male students who were raising money for charity.
Last week, President Marcia Welsh tweeted a photo herself with 10 shirtless students from her official account. The students are all part of the Hawthorn Hotties—an informal male student group that raises money for charity by performing as exotic dances and reenacting scenes from the popular film “Magic Mike.”

“Do you think a male university president who had even the tiniest sense of self-preservation would post a selfie of himself with a group of half-clad female students calling themselves the ‘premiere exotic dancing group’ on campus?” Kevin Mahoney, the author of the post, wrote.
...
"In this heightened era of appropriate sexual behavior on college campuses, faculty and administration cannot condone any kind of somewhat questionable behavior related to sexuality," Nancy VanArsdale, an English professor at ESU and president of the school’s Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) chapter, told The Patriot-News.'

It's only wrong if they are female hotties
According to the article, 3/4ths of those on campus surveyed said she didn't do anything wrong. Had the sexes been flipped, the prez would have had to resign by now. Instead, she'll emerge some kind of campus feminist hero. Bet your next paycheck on it.
