I think this is an insane issue.

One of the scratch tests for for the objective validity of a social issue is whether the perception of the situation would apply to both boys and girls.

In this case fraternities are not going to make a big deal about whether its members smoke. Personal opinions notwithstanding, fraternities are unlikely to try to micromanage its members on this issue through either rules or guilt.

If women need yet another reason to feel superior or judgemental towards each other, thats fine, but its something that part of "girl culture" versus a social perception that encompasses both genders equally.

So have at it ladies.

You know its funny. Even though patriarchal culture is blamed for the opression of women, I swear women do more to hold each other down or back than men do.
