Mischief or Misogyny?

The most remarkable thing about this is how absolutely unremarkable it seems to be. To my knowledge, the campus newspaper, The Post, hasn't made a peep about it. No one mentioned it in my classes, though one of yesterday's main topics was sexism. No one has painted over it yet (which may be partly because the weather has been rainy).

Is there any way to read this that's not all about sexism and misogyny?
