[LJ2ME] Tease Is The Story Of Their Lives
Some years after the issue of freshmen hazing activities made the news after a parent wrote in to complain about the "taupok" episodes his son was put through, yet another round of controversy rears its ugly head.
As I've aired my opinion publicly the last time, this time is no different. Admittedly, it is a double-edged sword where refusal to participate would put a target on your back for the rest of your institutional life, but still.
Please! Stand up for yourself if you are uncomfortable about it. You don't have to say yes everytime. There isn't a knife at your throat or a gun at your head. Is there?
Anyway, the whole issue of crossing boundaries of common decency and propriety are but facades of keeping up appearances. You know, I know, we know that the young of today are not as innocent and naive as they seem.
I've this controversial and contentious view of sexual harassment which may be a little extremist, but if you give it some thought, it actually makes sense. That is, there are no strict rules laid down as to what constitutes sexual harassment.
It's a question of individual acceptance and tolerance. What is harmles flirtation for one is outrage of modesty for another.
And it all boils down to who the "perpetrator" is. If it were the school hunk making the move, surely the "victims" would bat the eyelashes coyly and work their most disarming smiles and flirt back shamelessly. But if it were anyone less than savoury, out come the defences and the hypocritical incense.
What I'd give to lick whipped cream off the body of some guy (the guy with the pixellated face in the photo in the article will suffice)... Oops, have I said too much?
So off with the masks of put-on values and graces, and embrace your hot-blooded youth. Throw out your veils and let your hair down. You're only young once and you only live once. You'll regret and rue the day you didn't follow your heart when you're old like me.
Those of you still cloistered in the convent need not apply.
