Hookup Guide @ BC

In its own Jesuitical way, Boston College is trying to be Catholic in more than name only.

For example, courtesy of Andy Rota at the The Observer at Boston College, we have learned that BC Law took down the link to Planned Parenthood which had appeared on its website guide for students. Similarly, Kerry Cronin, a philosophy professor at BC recently satirized and tried to offer an alternative to the hookup culture prevalent on many campuses, including the Jesuit preserved where she works, in a speech there.

“She listed ten rules of the hookup culture—among them the requirements to be chill (not awkward), drink alcohol, not talk, not act interested, and to remove one’s feelings completely,” Dennis Carr reported in The Observer At Boston College. “Many laughs were shared throughout the night, especially with some hookup rules like ‘know where your shoes are’ and ‘it’s a good story—now tell it to people.’

“Some people nodded their head as Professor Cronin listed each rule, simultaneously laughing and acknowledging the truths about the hookup culture that she was delivering.”

By way of contrast, “Having diagnosed the problem, Cronin offered her prescription—the alternative to the hookup culture—a thing called ‘dating,’” Carr wrote.
