Early last month, it came to light that some boys at Maryland’s affluent Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School had created a list of their female peers and rated them on their looks.
Need it be said that this was a big mistake given the era of #MeToo and modern students’ need to feel “safe” at any cost?
According to The Washington Post, eighteen girls were on the year-old list, each ranked anywhere from 5.5 to 9.4 “with decimal points to the hundredth place.” (Consider: even the lowest rated subject thus scored above average.) The rankings had resurfaced recently due to text messages and “whispers during class.”

Girls do this as well. They are simply smart enough not to write it down.
Good work, men.
So which one was the hottest?
I wonder if the girls rated 8 or 9 were complaining.
Does anyone believe that high-school GIRLS don’t have a rating system for boys?
I wonder how many of these SJWs use Tinder. Isn’t that what Tinder is all about?
I believe that Facebook was originally based on “the pigbook,” which served exactly the same purpose among undergraduates.
Holy moly. Back in the day, we used to rate the guys.
““[The girls] felt violated, objectified by classmates they considered their friends. They felt uncomfortable getting up to go to the bathroom, worried that the boys might be scanning them and ‘editing their decimal points,’ said Lee Schwartz, one of the other senior girls on the list.
“’Knowing that my closest friends were talking to me and hanging out with me but under that, silently numbering me, it definitely felt like a betrayal,’ Schwartz said. ‘I was their friend, but I guess also a number.’”
The school’s principal said that after an investigation “there was definitely discipline applied” (to “several male students,” according to Bethesda Magazine), but the girls claim the (apparently harshest) penalty of one boy getting an in-school suspension was “unsatisfactory.”
Snowflakes.
I bet their parents are on their fainting couches, too.
It would have been bad manners even in the 60’s to write it down, but it was discussed.
But writing such things down should get no one in trouble. Free speech and all that.
I heard of such a document making the rounds at my high school. Never saw it though.
Bad manners aside, boys memories are shorter than a certain part of their anatomy.
This is how facebook started.
Mark Zuckerberg became a zillionaire with this idea.
The boys should make public statements using the words “diversity” and “inclusion” and lament “sexual assault.” They’ll be given awards.
But we all know if the guys had created a list of the guys they thought were hot there would be no problem whatsoever. How sick are these people?
“with decimal points to the hundredth place.”
What crap. This has been going on since the invention of lists.
Maybe all beauty pageants should be illegal even drag queen pageants.construction workers that make cat calls should be arrested too. I suggest AOC get right on that.
Yep. Couple of frat boys rating the co-eds.
No they aren’t.
But current political agendas give them a pass.
