This term describes an event which occurs when a single woman passes a group of 3 or more men. In the moments in which the parties walk towards, past, and away from each other, the men can either catcall the woman or not engage her like you would do for any other person (e.g. men). We\u2019ve interviewed both women and men to hear what they have to say about it.<br \/>\nMaggie Kim, a sister of Delta Gamma sorority, said this, \u201cThat\u2019s why winter is my favorite season; big coats mean I can hide my body and dudes just think I\u2019m just a regular person with a dick, so I can walk home in all-encompassing silence just like a man.\u201d<br \/>\nWe also asked sophomore Jamie Fuentes what he had to say about the issue. \u201cThere are guys that just talk to random girls on the street? That\u2019s insane. What, do they think they\u2019re gonna get laid from that? Wait. DO guys get laid from that?\u201d We later informed him that, no, no man has ever had sex with a woman by telling her she had nice legs while walking past her on 4th Street.<br \/>\n\u201cSometimes when I see a girl,\u201d says super senior Kurt Collins, \u201cand she got the boobs and legs and hair and all that cool stuff girls have and I get worried that I\u2019ll never see a girl again and that if I don\u2019t say hello to this girl right now I\u2019ll never get that chance to talk any girl ever again and I\u2019ll die a virgin&#8211;I mean like, I\u2019ve had sex but only in the mouth&#8211;and so I shoot my shot. A girl made eye contact with once and I\u2019ve thought about it ever since.\u201d<br \/>\nThe investigation is still ongoing; if you or your inquiring female friends or any of the involuntary celibate dudebros in your &#8220;Gender Studies and Film&#8221; class have any thoughts on the matter, please let us know at Schr\u00f6dingersDouchebag@gmail.com. Or just shout it out to us while you&#8217;re catcalling our female reporters outside KOK; they will try to write your thoughts down while power walking away from you as fast as they possibly can.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Robbie McMichael Flipside has taken on itself to investigate a henceforth unstudied cultural phenomenon that affects daily the lives of women: Schr\u00f6dinger\u2019s Douchebag.
