To all the women of the dorm, sorry for cluttering up your email with a repeated message, but I wanted to send this to the guys, and this was way easier. Guys, please don't take this as an attack on males, cuz it's not. I just thought it was an important message for the state of the world we live in, regardless of gender. Faith was great enough to send this to all the girls, and I thought there might be guys in the dorm who would appreciate it as well....

You've lived in the same dorm with these people since September. That nice boy, Joe, wouldn't do anything >>to hurt you. He has animal posters on his wall, and a little sister he adores. Maybe you're right, maybe you're wrong. Why take the chance? Imagine the following scenario...

He is drunk and sometimes funny. Without thinking, she rubs her shoulders because they're tense and sore from the hours spent writing that paper last night. He notices and offers to give her a massage. " How sweet of him," she thinks as he stammers on about his high school. "He's a little drunk but entertaining." Her shoulders feel better, so she pulls away. He politely gets up and moves back to the desk chair as she leans against her pillows, knees pulled against her chest.
