( A university-life vignette) It’s Saturday morning. Lisa, Leong and I were in the common area, lazing about. “This is what happened to us (Lisa and I) last night.” I said, beginning to explain last night's trauma to Leong. “We were at the event and it was dead and empty—there was just another couple there. It was made infinitely worse by the gloomy, instrumental, funeral music the on-aux (DJ) was playing. So we went up to him. His headphones were over one ear and off the other.” “And we were like, ‘Hey, can you play something else? Do something different? Can you please change the hook and play something upbeat—with words?’ “He looked us up and down, dismissively,” Lisa added, touching Leong’s arm to emphasize the point, “then he pulled his other earphone over his previously bare ear to ignore us! “Because you hurt his feelings,” Leong said. “No,” I began - I literally, I, like literally don’t understand what he was doing. Being a DJ is customer service basically. He’s supposed to be making people happy and when two of your four customers complain - you’re supposed to change.” “You can’t make everyone happy,” Leong suggested, shrugging. “Is that some kind of dystopian, communist logic?” Lisa asked, shocked (Leong’s from China). “In America,” she quickly continued, “we try to make the individual happy. He could’ve made half the people in the hall happy - at least the ones that cared enough to engage him.” “First of all,” Leong began, waving her hands, as if waving away confusion, “the question is - and don’t dodge it - she asked me, “Were you nice? Because you may have hurt his feelings.” “No, I don’t care,” I said, dismissing ‘feelings.’ “If we’re invited to an event, then our opinions are invited too. it’s like a contract.” “He might have taken days to plan that playlist.” Leong countered. “Well, it didn’t matter,” Lisa snarked, “because the funeralwas over.” “Here’s the thing,” Leong said, looking first at Lisa, then at me, “let’s face it, you two aren’t usually ignored, you're both pretty, white, CIS girls—a high society princess, and an upper-crust, trust-fund baby.” (Oh, she was lashing out over the dystopian crack.) “Yeah, NO, I.. look, no, you know..” I searched for my words. Lisa took over, “Look, enough of your divisive, postmodern, race theory crap. These events can only be put on by MEN. Everything here (at Yale) is an EVENT now, with a theme. Girls spend a lot of time getting ready - doing our hair, putting on makeup, picking outfits, for these themes they come up with. It’s like the MET gala out there, where we have to dress to theme every night. Everyone, it seems, has to have a theme. No one wants us to just show up anymore - and they can’t get someone on-Aux to play music with words? The DJ’s just going to play sounds? It’s aggravating when we’ve put in so much effort already.” “Listen to what you’re say-YING.” Leong said, ‘These events ARE typically put on by MEN, Yale is a male controlled culture - women weren’t even allowed at Yale until 1969. Are men trying to make YOU happy? NO, they’re focused on their happiness.” “It throws me off that men’s groups, certain guy groups, put these things on,” Lisa reasoned, “because guys barely care about decorations and themes.” “CAN guys decorate?” I asked, sarcastically—”I mean the straight ones?” I chuckled. “We put in a lot of effort,” Lisa continued, “We look fantastic and guys just show up, looking the same as ever - what I’m say-ying is - there’s social injustice at work. Last night, it really wasn’t so bad. I mean, people showed up and the DJ eventually got into a vibe, some kind of vibe - whatever. It wasn’t just last night, we’ve been to a LOT of these this year.” “And it’s rife this year, we show up - for what? To be bored?” I updogged, “There’s no music to sing or dance to - and the guys, seriously, they need to take dance lessons or something because they’re bored too—just standing to the side. Girls don’t come to these things to be stared at like circus animals— it’s borderline traumatic. We want to dance and have fun. Uhh! It makes me so angry - and I’m not alone.” “You’re NOT alone!” Lisa piped in for the sidelines. “We even tried enlisting the other couple," Lisa said, "asking if they wanted dance music - but they looked like scared freshmen.” “If I known the host,” I said, “I’d have gone up to them and told them about the music.” “That wouldn’t be embarrassing?” Leong asked. “No,” said, “It’s called being honest with your friends and trying to help.” “What if..” Leong began, “your musical taste sucks.” “No, it’s not about taste,” I said. “What if YOU suck!” Leong said. Then, after a second she added, “You suck,” and began chuckling. “No, no..” I laughed. “YOU suck.” Lisa was heads-up and all ears now—an evil smirk beginning. “You both suck!” Leong shrieked, swinging the first of many couch pillows wildly.
