	She might be just plain angry.  So angry that she really doesn't
  care that what she is doing may not really benefit her cause...she
  just might want to punish these people in the dorm for reacting to her
  the way they did.
	I know when I see a man sporting one of those Playboy logos..or
  whatever...the picture of the bunny head...I get angry.  I find it hard
  to tolerate a man who is proud of viewing women as sex toys.  I am 
  tempted to give him a punch in the gut or say something very insulting
  to him.  But, I try to avoid doing either.  It probably would only make
  him angry at me and want to be a "playboy" even more.
