Remember this past fall when some Harvard/Yale parties got out of hand in Allston and Boston police arrested a bunch of Harvard boys? How come the Herald didn't run a blaring
HARVARD BOYS GONE WILD
headline on the front page? Could it be that Harvard men, just aren't as tittilating as Wellesley lesbians?
And speaking of that story, the photo that accompanies it makes me glad I'm not a news photographer. Imagine having to get down in the mud and ice, your face and lens right on the ground next to an emtpy malt-liquor bottle, as you wait for some unsuspecting student (hopefully, a lesbian) to walk by.

duh
The Herald did run such frontpage coverage and it turned out the ppl at the party weren't Harvard students.
Yes they did
But they didn't play up the gender or sexual orientation of the participants.
Right...
Or use objectifying language like "gone wild." The girls were drinking, not starring in pornos.
They were straight so what an
They were straight so what angle was there to play up? When I saw the headline last night about 11 students in drunken stupor I assumed they were guys. The lesbo angle is good headline material. And since that the eleven are girls, the "girls gone wild" headline is a given.
Um...
Apparently you didn't read either story. Neither story mentions the sexual identity of any of the participants.
Ah, but the front page ...
"Plastered college partiers end night in ER after lesbian bash"
Alas, the story itself was a letdown, because there weren't any details of hot girl-on-girl action at said bash. Tsk, tsk, Herald editors.
