    You don't have to be religious or even rational to want to punish people for having the sex that you're not. See: That Pham guy who went to Wellesley, homophobes, horny slut shamers.

    At the same time, while the religious suspicions do smack of shoddy journalism, no one ever accused pro-abstinence people of logic. It's been proven that condoms prevent AIDS, unwanted pregnancy and therefore abortion? It's been proven that teaching kids condoms and sex are evil just results in kids who have sex without condoms? And that banning abortion just reduces the rate of safe abortions and medical complications? Screw it all. Condoms are evil. Let's make people (i.e. women) pay for having sex. I've heard pro-lifers get angry that women can 'get away' with sex thanks to the Pill – maybe this is just the natural next step.

    At the beginning of my freshman year, an Evangelical student in my dorm tore down all the safe sex promotion posters and replaced them with (badly misspelled) pro-abstinence posters (complete with pink glitter ink). Our RA had a manila envelope full of free condoms outside her door; the student also stole the condoms and threw them away several times. When confronted, she claimed "freedom of religion" and insisted that we were all harassing her.

    The UC Santa Cruz administration was not particularly sympathetic. She wound up transferring to another college before the quarter was out.

    In short: I totally buy it.

    @la.donna.pietra: My God. I was an RA at a Catholic school and I never ran into crazy that high quality. My safe sex bulletin boards and not-so-secret stash of condoms were pretty well received. Students at our school tended to protest excessively enlightened attitudes towards sexuality with indignant letters to the editor of the student newspaper and the odd petition or two to administration. Vandalism was far more likely to be the work of uncreative drunk kids than anyone organized enough to have an agenda.

    I guess it's easy to forget just how crazy some people can be.

    @lizdexia: UCSC is an extremely liberal school, so I suspect she may have applied and enrolled there with the specific intent of Saving the Heathens. In other words, her crazy may have been of a self-selecting type.

    It was pretty impressive, though.

    @la.donna.pietra: I have to give her credit for sheer ballsy-ness. I'm sure that wasn't an especially popular position to take, and she was probably the target of all sorts of creative retaliation. If only the crazies of the world could channel their dedication and creativity into something useful.

    @femme-bot: If I remember correctly (and all this happened in 1994, so I may not), she was a marine bio major. At UCSC, anyone who isn't a crazy hippie is almost always a marine bio major; the program is world-famous and gets all kinds of people.

    Also, the UC system is fairly notorious for being much more enthusiastic about people who are good at math and science than people who have good writing skills.

    My history teacher in high school told our class that having sex with condoms was ineffective against pregnancy because a friend he knew poked holes in one of every three condoms. Of course, he was a right-wing religous nutjob and he didn't want us having sex.

    @Triana Orpheus: I love how these people just make stuff up. My son's teacher told him that 1- Lowe's had navitiy scenes for sale and moved them to the storeroom when liberals complained 2- that his liberal neighbors stole his personal yard navity scene. That night, my son drove by his house (in our neighborhood) and he had a perfectly good navity scene in his yard. The next day we went to Lowe's and saw several on sale. Needless to say, my son had to ask him if Jesus taught that it's OK to lie to make a point.
