Today I received a piece of mail that was absolutely infuriating. It was a big envelope of "information" from Russell Sage College. Russell Sage is an all-women's college a few blocks from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute where Mom and Dad went to school. According to Mom and Dad, the Russell Sage girls had quite the reputation - bubbly bimbos who showed up at the RPI bars and parties and who were there for their MRS degrees.
So needless to say, I'm terribly insulted whenever they send me mail (this is I think the third time I'm heard from them). This time the letter began, "Dear Marissa, I'm very happy that you continue to be interested in learning more about Russell Sage College." Ouch...
And their viewbook was absolutely unbelievable. It has an entire section entitled, "What About Men?" The section reads, "Frankly, we're surrounded! There are 23 colleges in the Tech Valley region - and Sage sits at the heart of it. You'll find Rensselaer Polytechnic University just a few blocks up the hill here in Troy, where over 5,000 (mostly male) undergrads study."
I'm still seething...
