Men have been marginalised in the 'lad culture' debate.

'lad culture' is literally the worst thing ever, **** nando's

There's no cognitive dissonance, it's just that feminism is not a single movement.

Luckily my Uni isn't allowed to join NUS, and having seen this article I'm so glad. They are a bunch of nutters. I have never seen anything come out of the NUS and thought "that sounds like a great idea".

What about genocide, war etc?

lad culture and "lass" culture will always exist, it will simply change forms; men and women are different and they'll never quite be the same categories of people in society. women have beauty and value as a matter of their nature, and men are, by their nature, attracted to them, while women will never share that level of attraction to men, therefore, women will be less needing to appeal and will be more submissive (more likely at least) while men will need to be more pro-active to equalise the power relationship. so you'll never have a society without gender "roles" because women are still choosing to be picky compared to men. this is why men have been the "powerful" ones during most of human history; because they had an excuse to be active and to acquire value, as women never really needed to be to the same extent.

Why is your Uni not allowed to join NUS? Are you at Oxford as they suceeded from the NUS?

stalin > dapper laughs

The NUS does not allow a university to join if there is an on site armoury. Which we have. Also they would stop us from doing certain activities in our SU bar.

I think LADs should be executed on sight.

I don't engage in "LAD culture" because it just isn't who I am, but people need to get over it. It's a bunch of people having fun, totally harmless

ok ill change that, id give it more thought if it was,nt for the radical white male hating element.

Your university sounds incredibly cool. The NUS are contemptible in their mean spritied attitude.

Harper Adams University is one cracking fun. The student Union fees go to funding the societies and parties. And the parties are epic.

What do you define a 'LAD' as in that case?

1. Anybody wearing a wifebeater and a flat-peak (reverse or otherwise) whilst having their trousers halfway down their arse.
2. Any skinny white kid talking like he's Lil' Wayne.
3. Anybody riding a bike that looks like it's 10 years too young for them whilst thinking they're the coolest cat on the block.
4. Anybody uttering the word "bruv" or "mate" in a non-ironic manner. Regional dialects do not count.

Feel free to add new criteria that I may have missed.

Stalin was a LAD in many ways. The original LAD you might say so

Errrr not really, as someone else it's often middle class kids copying working class behaviour in a fairly ironic way.

A LAD would mutter bruv or cuz in an ironic way. Most guys use the term 'mate' anyway.
