I would assume it's something similar to where there are classes each school offers to the entire student body that satisfy general education requirements. It's been a long time for me, but I believe that getting into some of those classes still involved some kind of clearance from the counselor that was technically advising me (but I never actually met). I avoided them since I wasn't minoring in anything, but I remember that being a problem for others. I can't imagine what its like now that USC has gotten more and more competitive.

I think you just aged yourself, my man.

@GuyBeardmane is a one man operation. Keeps the overhead low and the clientele happy.

There was a time in the middle '00s when the FSU team was a force to reckon with in the WAC. They're always competitive though, and that's no small feat in the FBS.

I gotta buddy who's wife is a water polo coach there. It's a nice enough place, but I'm not sure how competitive the individual schools there are. When you jump from the CSU system to the UC system, the individual schools inside the university are better endowed and tend to have significantly more competition for spots. By the way, I believe you're our first opponent Labor Day.

What university did you go to?

Eh... when it's not quite that simple when you're talking about a Tier 1 like Cal. In addition to getting into the university itself (which is extraordinarily difficult in its own right), you also have to get accepted into some individual programs. Cal has a storied engineering school (my grandpa graduated from there in '30s), so they can be a bit snobby when it come to students applying for individual programs, but that doesn't mean it's impossible for someone as talented as Jackie.

Perfect timing. AC pedo looks like he's all tuckered out, so I got plenty of free time... but no DS.

Ohhhhhh. You.

Have at it.....

It's not a fallacy. Our society tends to be filtered through the lens of the male perspective, whether it be in terms of work (women deserve to be valued the same as men), social function (women can hold the leadership roles that a man typically holds), sexuality (women have the right to resist the advances of a dominant male), or child rearing (woman can be bread winners to the man's housewife). It's not a conspiratorial effort by men to suppress women as much as its generations of CIS male dominated societies proving a biased framework to appraise the various inequality issues between all genders. As long as we expect women in leadership positions to lead the way a man would, the bias is fairly self evident. In the case of sexual misconduct, its worth noting that abusers of all genders do so in the framework of a dominant-versus-submissive sexual relationship, where the dominant party imposes his or her will on the submissive and that's something our societies have "learned" over generations of having men defined by being commanding and controlling figures, and, in of itself, that is not something that is biologically intrinsic to sexual intercourse or intimacy.

Seriously, though, something like region codes would be part of the label that would be near the Serial Number on the box.

Wouldn't it be listed on the box?

That's not true. You can rightly blame the patriarchy and still acknowledge women are capable of being abusers in that framework.

I could have a penis like that too.... if I got it driven over by a earthmover with cat tracks.

I would not have gotten that from your OP.

Bill will retire the day Brady retires.

While maybe you feel that you "deserved it" as a way of protecting your position from vulnerability and poof might feel it because she's already vulnerable, the commonality is that both men and women suffer if they are forthright about the abuse they are subjected to.

ITT: Viper shows off his impeccable timing.

I guess I'm a bit reticent because it seems like dredging up a painful topic and (as what Sorce was saying) because of how a man discussing gender neutral power dynamics can come across. Its a difficult thing to nuance; even in your case, the conditions that led to those women abusing you are at least partly attributed to our patriarchal society and its penchant for defining women in terms of their ability to sexually please their partner(s). That doesn't justify abuse by any means, but it also can't be divorced from how men have shaped sexual norms. Hard to describe, but I feel like I could make things worse.

I regret I missed this thread a year ago. I have a lot to say, but it seems inappropriate to do so now.

No lucky lady looking to ride the latin stallion?

Nah dude. This is what you're angry about... https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/27343569/barnwell-inevitable-drew-brees-decline-already-begun
