Duke coed's sexual history "senior thesis" goes viral
 
Tulip86's request for thesis help reminded me of something I saw on the evening news tonight.

http://blogs.forbes.com/kashmirhill/...senior-thesis/

Quote:

Karen Owen, a 2010 graduate, kept detailed notes on her sexual adventures with 13 members of Duke’s lacrosse, baseball and tennis teams over the last four years. She then put those notes, along with the athletes’ names and photos into a PowerPoint presentation, that concludes with a ranking of the 13 on what she calls her “F*** list.” (Congratulations, I suppose, to this guy for topping the list.)

According to Jezebel, Owen sent the “unofficial senior thesis” titled “An education beyond the classroom: excelling in the realm of horizontal academics” to three friends and did not intend for it to go further than that. But one of those friends forwarded it on and it went viral, going out on listservs and eventually winding up on Gawker sites, Jezebel (for women) and Deadspin (for sports addicts).
I don't know what to say about this. My senior thesis (eons ago) was nowhere this interesting!

Her parents must be so proud.

She's an idiot.

There would be a different twist if this was a man with a list of sexcapades with women.

What? Or are you making a comment on the fact that men are usually that stupid.

It just surfaced in Dutch media as well, feeling very bad for those guys!
Especially the one she rated 1/10 :S

Why would that matter?

One of the articles (perhaps jokingly seriously) referred to her as a hot sorority girl. I wouldn't doubt that she's in a sorority.

Actually reading the list....NOOOOO!!!!

LOL

Deadspin finally redacted the names, but the faces still exist.

BluPhire 10-05-2010 11:54 AM

NOOOO!!!! Reading about subject number six.

Most memorable moment. Just read the quote for the most memorable moment.

NOOOO!!!!

Likely!

It really would be interesting - especially considering that discussion of this type is generally considered more "masculine" (even though in my experience and my limited understanding of the research, women discuss [truthful] sexual escapades much more often and in far greater detail). Particularly with her extended discussion of donger size and the male's aggressiveness, I almost feel like a male 'equivalent' discussion would be derided as the "usual chauvinist piggery" or whatever by some, and straight-up applauded by others.

The comparisons some sites have made between her and Tucker Max are particularly telling, since the two have almost nothing in common in terms of writing style or goal.

Ultimately, it's awkward and kind of funny, and likely terrible for her because everything lives on the internet forever. The job offers etc. will be fleeting - grandkids stumbling upon it is slightly more permanent. That might be the lesson, even though the feminist-supporting-man-dude inside of me would like there to be a larger one. HA LARGER ONE - TAKE THAT, RED SOX PROSPECT EXCORIATED IN PRINT!

Is it possible that this is all made up, or am I just that naive? Surely no one is as stupid or dumb or careless or egocentric or cruel or idiotic (or whatever) as this young woman appears.

*shakes head in disbelief*

Am I the only person who wondered how, in her senior year, she actually had time to make this??
