Most women still want to be princesses, and most men still seek to win a woman’s heart. Hefner and Sanger diminished the person to the mere sum of parts, yet we know that men and women are remarkable and multifarious, fantastic and so much more. There is still magic in the differences of the sexes—and what a joy it is to encounter them! Indeed, our world contains the possibility of being radically altered by this ‘other,’ who, through the eyes of love, suddenly becomes much larger than we saw before.

A central part of starting the year off right is planning activities for entering freshmen that can balance and supplement orientation programming. In so doing, you will provide them with a supportive community of friends, and help free them from feeling compelled to conform to libertine campus sexual norms that challenge their commitments and offend their sensibilities.

young women approached me asking for other options. “If we know that less isn’t more and what we wear significantly impacts how men view women, what can we wear instead?” Do not despair.
