In a September story titled “Best and Worst Campuses for Men,” the magazine’s editors declared Brown one of the ten most anti-male schools in the country. Editors at the magazine (who refused to comment for this report) evaluated schools in six areas: athletics, academics, fraternities, student codes of conduct, something called “social friendliness,” and “the four-year factor,” an even more nebulous category involving community, architecture, and location.
“Smothered in half-baked feminism,” Brown was faulted for a code of student conduct the editors deemed too restrictive; the University also scored badly on whatever scale the magazine used to grade social friendliness. Brown fared better than Oberlin, however, where “mental vasectomies [are] mandatory,” and received a better grade than Antioch, where in the judgment of the editors “traditional male competitiveness is a cardinal sin.
