Has anyone ever heard of a "bean dip"? It's apparently when a random dude has license to come up to a girl and flick her entire boob (from bottom to nip) upwards with his thumb. It's very popular here all of a sudden.
I don't know about you, but I find this practice rather disrespectful, and the next time it happens to me I might fulfill my lifelong dream of punching someone in the face. I'm hoping it's unique to Albion so I don't have to avoid the entire race of college-aged men.
I could delve into an extensive feminist rant complete with an examination of gender roles at Albion, but my computer is taking 12 hours to type each letter so I really just can't be bothered.
Instead, I think we Lady Brits should start implementing the "sausage chop."

who are the lady brits? and you're right that is disgusting. I hope some girl teaches one of those random dudes a lesson... no sign of it at umich, although i haven't been around too much yet.
oh and you could never be a bitch. you are too sweet.
1. Albion College mascot = Brittons.
2. Correction, I can be several different types of bitch. Thankfully, they don't usually manifest themselves in the camp world (although this year was slightly provoking).
What about this idea?
Jamie and I want to have a "tips" jar in the apartment. Kit doesn't.
What the "tips" jar would entail is the person who wants to give a tipper* to someone else in the apartment has to pay a dollar to do so.
That said jar when full will be used for things such as but not limited to; beer money, pizza money, etc.
Thoughts?
*a tipper for those not in the know is a shot to the crotch with the back of the forefingers.
I think I would be poor...that's a great idea tell kit to shut up and put the jar out...if he disagrees he doesn't get any of the beer....or pizza
Interesting comments.
i think you guys should keep your hands off each other's crotches. it's fucking weird.
I agree with Katie. This touching penis' thing is just a little beyond me.
i think its funy when katie says "fuck"
I'm not an expert, but I'm going to go ahead and state that most (to Chuck: MANY) people simply don't want their breast fondled by a random stranger or their junk grabbed unexpectedly. Both acts - bean dipping and "tipping" ("tipper-ing"? - are uninvited. Both involve one individual asserting sexual dominance over another.
The male ritual described here is significantly less offensive because, in this context, it's among friends. Would it be as degrading as a bean dip if it occurred between two male strangers?
Would a guy who was randomly tipped, say, at a party feel like he had been violated? He'd probably spout some obscenities. He'd say "Dude, that's so gay." Depending on his disposition and level of intoxication, he might even get into a fight over the matter.
But would he experience the same level of disgust I felt when I was "bean-dipped" repeatedly by people I didn't know?
Are these two things even in the same genre?
Gotta love sociology. PS - I feel ridiculous even using the term "bean dip." I don't even understand it, really. Maybe because some nipples resemble beans? Does the practice have some Hispanic origin or something?
Em, I would go to court with you to defend your right to decapitate someone who "bean dipped" you. I'm stunned that it exists. It's like it should be something that exists only in a movie.
Is this the Ranch Kid who used to write the Ranch To The Chi blog or is this the other girl who used to work at the ranch?
Okay, I srsly feel so out of the loop. I've never heard of bean-dipping before...although I have to say, I have been but not by some random dude...but from my mommy-friends. Yes, a lot of my friends are obsessed with boobs. My husband; however, is not. Sadly for me.
However, I can guarantee you that if a random guy was "tippered" at any of the MSU parties I went to when I was there...it would end with someone getting their nose broken. Period.
I think you should revaluate the kinds of parties you attend. Do normal societal norms, values and folkways get susppened at these engaments? Do this practice happen in general on campus, like when walking to class? What did you do about it? Did you clock the person. Did you report the incidents to the athourities? Did you you come to the aid of an individual who has been dipped? A passive attiude in this kind of issue becomes, like it or not, passive acceptance.
Secondly would you feel different about it if you had a better self image? Are there girls who have no problem with it. Why not, whats going there if there is?
The implict danger with this sort activity is that it invites an exscalation of unwanted advances.
The question is whats going on in your campus culture that has made this activity acceptable and why?
Why has it become "moral"?
Sorry, not my typical sarcastic answer. I appologize if I got too personal, but I think this is an interesting social topic with many layers to the onion, so to speak.
