The original intent of the Gender->-bleeped-<- party was to provide a gender funhouse – a hall of mirrors where everyone within eyeshot was deleting, magnifying, or switching gender  - at least for one wild night. Like any party at Swarthmore, alcohol would be available to those who wanted it.

Hegemony quickly busted the party, and Swatties succumbed to an easy heuristic that took the work out of figuring out how to temporarily breakdown a concept that has existed since the beginning of time. So it was that "guys wear a dress and girls wear less" was born.
