1 thing i confirmed tonight

1. Male law students are typically jocks. They are typically pretentious and typically prone to speaking and behaving like boofheads. They were typically, I’m guessing, sent to some prestigious private boys school. Typically played rugby union. Typically still live at home in their parents’ million-dollar, renovated Queenslander. Typically have their mums still do their washing and ironing. Typically demand meat and three veg on the table every night. Typically wear overpriced, over-branded jeans and polo shirts. With the collar up.

I know. For making all these superficial judgements, I should be the object of scorn, but if there’s one thing my degree has taught me it’s that of course there are exceptions, and I acknowledge this fully. Hence, my concentration on the word ‘typically’. But if there’s one other lovely thing that my degree has taught me, it’s that social circles, hierarchies, cultures, classes, groups, traditions, trends, (whatever word you choose to use), do exist and social commentary and acknowledgment is important if we are to understand our society and thus implement change. And so. Based on tonight’s cohort of law graduates, I cannot but conclude that the male constituents are typically all round unappealing. I look at them and their pretty girlfriends, and I see their well-dressed parents, and I see an unexceptional middle-class life in the ‘burbs with Taragos and kids called Macintyre and Branton , and I want to punch them. Hard. I think this would be a start to the change that is needed.
