      <![CDATA[This has nothing to do with who's allowed to speak. It has everything to do with who's getting paid. If the student body wants to pony up the three grand to pay her fee, more power to 'em. <br>
<br>
Here's a list of the topic being covered by other speakers:<br>
Sexuality, Shame, and Sex-Positivity <br>
A Modern Approach to Consent<br>
Finding a Healthy Sexual Balance<br>
It's a Man's World: How Sexism Affects Men<br>
SEXversations:  a Card Game<br>
Toward a Queer of Color Critique: Defying the Homonormative<br>
What's One More?: Polyamory, Non-Monogamy, and Relationship Diversity<br>
Conservatism and Modern Sexuality: Is it a Paradox?<br>
Crossing Borderlands, Mestiza Consciousness, and the Road to Affinity: the works and theories of feminist author Gloria Anzaldua<br>
Fabulously Fetish<br>
The Curious Lives of Sex Toys<br>
Culture of the Clit<br>
More than Two-Spirits: Native American Gender Constructions<br>
Power and Access: Exploring Privilege in LGBT Student Populations<br>
Sexual License:  the Halfway Point between Culture and Biology<br>
Trans Health Advocates<br>
The Liberated Relationship<br>
Porn as a Feminist Tool<br>
Your Sexual Bill of Rights<br>
Talking about the Taboo: Myths and Facts about Anal Pleasure<br>
<br>
While most of these look rather boring, it's fairly plain to see that the OSU aministration's problem was not with content. I'm blaming the organizers for not getting their financial ducks in a row sooner. If I were a betting man, I'd bet that the administration just didn't want to give $3,000 to this conference and essentially made up a reason. <br>
<br>
I'd be interested in seeing just who the administration agreed to speakers fee. Any noted war criminals? People of trully dubious moral character? I bet there's some skeletons in that closet.<br>

      <![CDATA[So who at OSU decided that "Modern Sex" was a good topic for a school that wouldn't allow anyone at all controversial (to a conservative state legislator) speak? SCHIZOID U!

      <![CDATA[Well if OSU is going to have a conference on sex, then we all know that it's strictly in the abstract. Modern college students are very well-behaved, and actually have no sex whatsoever.
