When my freshman dorm did "Crossing the Line" and the category was "feminist," only one guy in the dorm crossed. It wasn't me. Later, a female friend asked me, "Gabe, what the hell? Why didn't you cross?" I explained that I'd been at a performance of "The Vagina Monologues," and so missed that freshman dorm exercise all-together.
