OK more role reversal and attempts to reverse current societal norms.
I thought people got this out of their systems in the 60s and 70s.
This is what students are going into a lifetime of student loan debt for :shk:

University offers female students extra credit for not shaving their armpits

Lauren Clark Campus Correspondent @LaurenLouClark on Jul 03, 2014 at 5:29 PM EDT




Men are also allowed to receive extra credit, as long as they shave their bodies from the neck down.


Student Stephanie Robinson said it was a “life changing experience.”

Female Arizona State University students can receive extra credit for defying social norms and refusing to shave for 10 weeks during the semester.
Women and Gender Studies Professor Breanne Fahs, encourages her female students to cease shaving their underarms and legs during the semester and document their experiences in a journal.

Student Stephanie Robinson said it was a “life changing experience.”
“Many of my friends didn’t want to work out next to me or hear about the assignment, and my mother was distraught at the idea that I would be getting married in a white dress with armpit hair,” Robinson told ASU news.
Men are also allowed to receive extra credit, as long as they shave their bodies from the neck down.



Fahs says the experiment illustrates social issues with gender roles, particularly with the male participants.
“One guy did his shaving with a buck knife,” Fahs said. “Male students tend to adopt the attitude of, ‘I’m a man; I can do what I want.”


As the Director of the Center for Feminist Research on Gender and Sexuality Group at ASU, Fahs has been very active in women’s issues. Her academic journals have been published in outlets such as Feminism & Psychology, Psychology of Women Quarterly and Gender and Society. She has also authored books including Performing Sex, Moral Panics of Sexuality and her newest biography on the life of radical feminist and attempted assassin, Valerie Solonas.


Participant and student Jaqueline Gonzalez said the experience allowed her to start on a path of activism.
“The experience helped me better understand how pervasive gendered socialization is in our culture. Furthermore, by doing this kind of activist project I was no longer an armchair activist theorizing in the classroom.” she said. “So much is learned by actually taking part in the theory or idea we learn in the classroom, and we could benefit from this type of pedagogy being taken up by similar classes.”

With all due respect, the colleges and universities of this country are burning huge amounts of resources on stuff like this that could better be spent on a plethora of other things.

Yes there is a place for these studies, but in my humble opinion it should be situated within the philosophy, political science, history, biology or psychology departments, not within their own little fiefdoms.

I agree with you.
Women's studies should be a course in sociology not a separate department that offers several degrees in the field.
They are only able to express their true radical agenda once they have their own fiefdoms.

I'm sorry there is no place for this in any school. If these students want to find out what it's like to quit shaving, then quit shaving. Wear tank tops and observe. Quit shaving their legs. Again wear shorts and observe. Form your own conclusions. Start a google group study.

But don't waste their parents money by teaching this crap in school.

Probably at least 2/3 of University courses are just left wing incubation tanks.
Social sciences and history have long since been taken over by leftists.
They are now slowly chipping away at the real sciences.

Fits right in with that professor of pornography. Maybe they can also get credit for not bathing for ten weeks. Perhaps offer a major in hirsutology, with a minor in feculence. "twould be a ground-breaking quantum leap forward, even rivaling the new "pride whopper."

no, no, no---it's not about 'cleanliness' issues; it's about sex roles.

Next she'll have the students having to cross-dress for the 10 weeks of the semester for extra credit...

for every ONE American Degree awarded this year, there are ONE MILLION Chinese and ONE MILLION India degrees awarded this year.

Now as an employer, who do you think I am going to hire!

Some idiot that went to college for the ride and got credits to graduate for learning how to bag groceries and be offensive with body odor, or some graduate who can function in production with a healthy background in sciences and maths and has a goal oriented work ethic.

I am a woman who broke the glass ceiling. I am a woman who worked in an almost exclusively male field. Young women don't need to stop shaving their pits and legs to be women. With an eye toward certain strength limitations, women today can be pretty much anything they would want to be. Just do it and don't whine about it.

THAT IS RIGHT YOU USELESS WASTE OF GOOD AIR. IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SHAVE I COULD GIVE A RATS TWINKE LESS AND WON'T SPEND ONE CENT ON YOU. REAL MEN ARE HARDER TO HOUSE BREAK AND THEY SHOULD BE. REAL WOMEN ARE GLAD TO HAVE REAL MEN AROUND ESPECIALY WHEN THE SHTF. THEY EVEN LIKE IT WHEN A REAL MAN OPENS THE DOOR FOR THEM OR TAKES A CAN OFF THE SHELF THEY CAN'T REACH. REAL MEN ABSOLUTLELY LOVE REAL WOMEN. NOT SOME PHONEY PROFESSORS IDEA OF HOW YOU SHOULD ACT OR YOUR HYGENIE.

I thought women don't shave their armpits in France.

Actually, there's probably quite a few countries where they don't do this. In fact, I wonder when they started it in this country cause it sure is a big money maker for corporations.

I met the Ms. Germany winner several years back. Beautiful women with a real bush under the pits. I think most women in Europe don't shave under the arms but it still does not change my opinion on this thread. The professor wanted the men to shave. This was social engineering not education. You don't want to shave just don't. You don't have to pay some University to do this. In fact if you pay you are dumber than dirt and basically unemployable coming out of the gate.

I agree with you. This should not be a study. Don't want to shave? Legs, armpits and elsewhere. Then don't.

How do the people that shave in their elsewhere even stand it? I wonder if this was in the study too.

There are still some European women who don't shave their underarms or legs, but that is mostly an older thing or those from eastern countries.
Most of the Western European women, especially the younger ones (those under 35) do in fact shave .
Go to the beach in Spain or France and see for yourself
Hell with some of their dental floss bikinis it's obvious they shave more than just their armpits. :lol:

As far as who started the armpit shaving? I always wonder who decided a lawn needed mowing? Would love to travel back in time and KILL them.

KathyinFL...certainly you would hire the hairy-pitt wonnder pumpkin.

I photoed a girl with hairy pits. Really wasn't a big deal.

Did have a model who must have never heard of shaving or general hygiene down below...I swear I could here monkeys chittering in there and saw a Brontosaurus stick it's head out of the foliage....

That said, it was their choice and some college teacher half-wit wasn't the cause.

They said that men can get extra credit if they shave.

What the colleges are doing is to feminize the already feminized metrosexual males and make the girls more masculine.

Patchouli Oil

Patchouli_oil.jpg


4 oz bottle should last a semester...



patchouli
http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=patchouli

A pungent scented oil
usually worn by those who live an alternative or bohemian lifestyle.
ie:Artist, musicians hippies, bikers, punkrockers etc.
"What is that wild smell?" "It's patchouli."


Used throughout the 60's and 70's
not just as an excuse not to bathe,
as some people claim,
but to cover the scent of Smoke,
Drink and Drugs on clothing.


An annoying stank masking scent
(commonly a scented oil)
that subliminally causes internal cringing
for members of the bathing community
...A.K.A. - "Pseudo Bath",
"Trustafarian Tramp Serum",
"Hippie Stink" ,
"Soap Substitute",
"Dopehead Dry-Clean",
"Coward Shower",
"Dank Stank",
"Wanker-stank",
"Hygiene Hi-jinks",
"Greatful Dread",
"Granola Grout",
"Magnolia Mud-flap",
"Drag-rat Sludge Fudge"
...Did I miss one?



"There goes another Trustafarian Granola.
That patchouli scent almost ALWAYS
precedes pretentious hygienic procrastination
and self-righteous drivel !"


"4 oz bottle should last a semester..."

1000 times too much Patchouli for usage in that time-frame. Hence a joke... :D

It's time, well past time, to put an end to this insane shi*! Oh, and another thing, if I were there I'd put an end to the reverse gender discrimination, too. The gals get extra credit for not shaving their pits, but the men only get the credit if they shave everything from the neck down? No! For one thing, the women's requirement - not shaving - is purely passive and biologically normal. The other is proactive and abnormal. I'd tell 'em I was willing to go along with not shaving anything, but I'm so hairy I'd demand a friggin' PhD!!!

US universities have become intellectual freak shows and Leftist indoctrination centers. People actually pay good money for this crap? It's astounding that students will mortgage their lives away on student loans to subject themselves to this mental flagellation! Actually, that should be the admissions intelligence test: If you're stupid enough to take out a student loan to come to this institution, you're too stupid to come to this institution! Actually, you're too stupid to breathe. The Leftists want a carbon tax? I say the Leftists should pay an Oxygen tax for wasting our air!

Best regards
Doc
