"We Love Sluts"

I found this scrawled across a bathroom wall today. In any other bathroom, at any other school, this message would stand alone. At Reed, the author had more to say:

"i.e. informed exploration of the limits of promiscuity ultimately pushing the boundaries of sexual satisfaction"

These are the sorts of little things that I love about Reed. Now I know there's nothing honorable about writing on a bathroom wall and "We Love Sluts" is far from poetic. But in my time at Reed, I've come to enjoy these sorts of little idiosyncracies... the things that make Reed different from any place I've been. Where else but Reed can you find a running dialogue on physics or the transcendental signified while using the bathroom?

Where else will someone take the time to elaborate on why he likes sluts? Especially in such an eloquent way? The idea is oxymoronic.

Of course, these messages are still juvenile at heart, but that doesn't mean I can't love them and the fact that people take the time to write them.
