Cornell Student Strips To Give Feminist Thesis

Share this article

Yes, you read that right. “A female student at Cornell University stripped down to her underwear—twice—before presenting her senior thesis to professors and other students,” Robby Soave reports on the Reason.com blog. “The student was attempting to strike a blow against the patriarchy, repudiating her media arts professor’s advice to dress up for the presentation.”

The patriarchy was not immediately available for comment.
