If anyone has been watching the news you would be familiar with the story of the former Duke University grad who made a powerpoint of whom she had slept with throughout her college career. She did not mean for it to send to the whole world, she only meant to send it two friends. Who of course sent it to three friends who sent it to three friends. Everyone I have talked to about this have very different points of view. Many think its absolutely terrible that she did this, I on the other hand don't see a problem with this. I don't necessarily think that it is appropriate to have a power point with pictures of the men however it is her sex life and she was just being open with it. I don't think I will be ever making power points but if she wants to more power to her.

Its hard to know how to react to this one. Obviously, the attitude of bragging is paradoxical to what we think of as female sexuality, so in that regard: more power to you. However, including evaluations and photos of the men is exploitative of them. Their sex lives are theirs. This is one of those times where I feel like we need to stress that "equality" does not need to mean "equally exploited." Be proud of your sexuality without hurting others.
