To the Editor:

I can look past the Columbus Day Weekend bashing and even the wild assumptions and generalizations of Dan Stanczyk’s enthralling ‘He Said’ column, but this week had me particularly fired up.

Although he makes some accurate commentaries on the female population here at Fairfield, he falls short at not being able to recognize the small yet strong fourth group of women.

There is more to us girls than big sunglasses and Ugg boots. Find me a store that sells something other than shades with a 5′ diameter and then we can talk.

Believe it or not, there are girls here with brains under all that peroxide-soaked hair.

Try talking to us rather than just undressing us with your eyes. And please, get the idea out of your head that we are all the same carbon copy girl because we come from Massachusetts, Long Island or New Jersey.

Just because I’m from Jersey does not mean I’m an oopma loompa in training. That’s one of those sure-fire ways to cancer. And maybe I think I’m God’s gift to the world because I have to deal with guys like you on a daily basis and seek a little personal reward for it.

Try tearing your eyes away from whatever manly thing you fill your spare time with, and look between the glaring highlights and low-cut necklines.

There’s a considerable population of intelligent, free-thinking, and above all, interesting women on campus who don’t wear pink Red Sox hats or pound Jager bombs all night long.

And just because I have a great personality, it doesn’t mean I’m unattractive and therefore not worth your time, despite what Urban Dictionary says.

Some girls enjoy video games, football and junk food as much as you boys do. But don’t take my word for it, I’m just a blond.

Sincerely, Danielle Bush ’11
