Valentines Day and All That It Entails
An excerpt from Social Science today:
Dr. Hynes: OK, we will start discussing Racism. That was chapter 9 in our book. Who would like to start?
(Silence)
OK, Sasha, would you like to start us out?
Sasha: I didn’t read it.
Hynes: OK, how about you, Amanda?
Amanda: I didn’t read it either.
Hynes: John, did you read it? Mr. Gee? Has anyone read chapter 9?
(Silence)
OK, then I will do something special since it is Valentines Day.
Sasha: Let us out early?
Hynes: You are always free to leave whenever you want. Actually we will discuss a study done by (name forgotten) back in the 30s at Penn State University. It was titled "The Rating and Dating Complex"…
He continued to lecture us on dating and "rating" for the rest of class, or about 45 minutes. I found it slightly comical that this man who I think has never been married was lecturing on the topic. That and that he wrote SEX on the black board. Maybe that is a little bit of immaturity showing through on my part. He basically said that men were in dating for the sex and women were in it for the money. He also explained the brutal cycle that kept most couples of the time from getting anywhere in their relationships.
