Drinking culture at Cambridge?

Trinity Hall has also sent out a college wide email regarding the issue.

** wonders if there is a relationship between pies and genius **

Hmm... Guys getting drunk and doing dumb ****? What a suprise. Stop acting like women are the only victims of drunken stupidity, plenty of other guys get ****ed over too. Also most rape/sexual harassment cases involve the woman being drunk too, so really it's not "men being entitled" it's more of people being retarded and not drinking properly. JFC the fact you act like you are in major danger despite not even going to the damn college... Honestly the victim playing here is ridiculous. And you know what? I as well as many other TSR users frankly couldn't give a **** if you felt safe or not, that's your own issue. People are entitled to BE safe not to FEEL safe.

Also love how you can easily just make a sweeping generalisation about men being entitled. Ironically men have more variation than women - in terms of size, intelligence, strength, etc. And don't try to say that it is sexist, because it's a bioloigical fact.

Indeed, and it's when they send out an email of all things that you know it's a really serious mater.

I remember one college sending around an email asking people to stop peeing in their sinks because it wasn't good for the plumbing.

The point is the email proves a recognition of the malicious nature of these societies. I'm not going to judge the frankly pathetic response from the college administration which quite frankly has been complicit in a lot of this.

I imagine the "drinking culture" is pretty tame at Cambridge compared to other universities.

I mean sure, people drink. But people are also a lot more studious than at other unis.

And of course the SJWs/feminists at Cambridge are moaning about this. Those people love moaning about everything, and accusing everything under the sun of being misogynistic.

I'm not surprised - Cambridge themselves have professed that they have a "deep" problem with sexual assault, which goes hand in hand with a misogynistic and exclusionary drinking culture. Glad I am aware of it now so I can keep my wits about me when I arrive for freshers, especially since I'm of the demographic that is most likely to fall victim to this.

Edit: although Oxf*rd does have twice as many Gregg's.

And College Drinking Societies are open to anyone who is interested in that culture - whatever we feel about the quality of that culture.

Public schools no more form drinking societies than any standard comprehensive might have groups of sixth formers that go out drinking - it really isn't a public school 'thing' the drinking society.

And as they are a small group, interested in their own activities, just like any other student society, I don't see how they are any more isolating than say a music society or a sports club where you'd love to join but don't feel you are good enough. If having a 'public school' affiliation is automatically a 'crime' then presumably the lacrosse club, polo club, acapella singing groups, etc ought also to be sidelined.

Dunno about genius, but having just over three tends to give an Archimedean view of the world.

Archimedes was a regular at Greggs, along with Plato and the Eumenides twins. I understand Aristotle was more of a Nando's person.

Nicely said, Parliament.
However, I suspect that new "organisations" will be formed to replace these things, although they'll be rather more surreptitious.
I doubt it will have much effect on sexual assault statistics or lewd behaviour.
BTW, I presume these societies don't qualify for subsidy from the CCRFC (or whatever its called these days).

And, yes, definitely 2 Greggs in Oxford (3 if you include Bicester - which I woudn't!)
