The ratio objectifies women. There’s no way to get around that fact. It reduces girls to commodities, to items that need to be increased. It doesn’t matter that I want to go out with my friends, regardless of their gender, and have a good time — what matters is that I gather the girls and act like we’re entertainment. The ratio takes us down to such a level that we exclude our closest guy friends — two of my friends first met when one told the other he couldn’t come out with us for fear of ruining our ratio. It brings out the worst, most disconcertingly ruthless parts of us. I am really happy that this issue is getting more attention. I think this article goes a little too easy on frats at some points, but the general idea is very important and I definitely agree.
