Jezebel's Beef With DU Student Stuart Cobb
Due to an opinion column for the University of Denver's Clarion student newspaper, Stuart Cobb has found himself in hot water---not with the school's administration, but rather with Jezebel, the sister blog of Gawker.
Cobb's "Seven Women You'll Meet at DU" attempts humor, but the women of Jezebel aren't laughing at Cobb's list, which includes stereotypes such as "Trustafarian Girl" and "Activist Girl."
To give you an idea of Cobb's style, of "Pre-Med Beottcher Scholar Girl" he writes, "This girl actually earned her way through DU on her own merit! Wow! Unfortunately, all the studying she did in high school gave her little time for social refinement, and her constant lab hours mean she is more adroit with chemistry beakers than with your beaker."
Jezebel, calling Cobb's "drivel" just about "as bad as it gets," doubts he'll be dating again any time soon. The blog fires back with a list of its own: "Five Sexist A**holes You'll Meet In College (And Beyond)."

oddly enough he has had dates and a girlfriend... even more weird is that I company with a majority of its employees women (which were knowledgeable about the article) hired him... yes the jokes were bad, but at least he was putting forth the energy to write for the school news paper (which is a small percentage of student at any university or college in the US)
