Stereotypes 2: Electric Boogaloo

So a while ago I wrote about all these different stereotypes and how they were complete crap and stuff and things and words. Im lazy and uncreative and thus I will be making a repeat performance.

Im not really lazy and uncreative. Im really very creative.

Women. The fairer sex. The supposed brains of the human organisation. Stereotyped as the cleaned half, the nagger and all round more hygienic. In my short time at university I have determined that this is categorically, and with exception, complete bull. Don't you just love hyperboles?

At the beginning of the year, the two bathrooms were split into the boys bathroom and the girls bathroom. Fine. Grand. Sweet. Sound.

 Now normal people would assume the boys would never clean and their bathroom would become a sty. Not so. As it turns out the girls shower is always cluttered with empty shampoo bottles, the floor is always drenched, there is toilet paper on the floor that was once damp but subsequently dried off and has now fused to the floor.

The boys toilet, on the other hand, has no empty bottles, there aren't used or broken razors everywhere, the drain isn't clogged with hair and if the shower causes the floor to get wet we dry that right up.

Now I'll concede that there are maybe twice as many women here as men.

The kitchen. Cooking central. That room what smells and stuff. Of the 6 guys here, I know at least 4 of us consistently clean up after ourselves. The other two cannot account for the veritable maelstrom of leftover food, unclean dishes, cleaned dishes left on the counters and the mouse that lives with us in there.

If I've said it once I've said it a million times: Girls are gross. True Story

Don't read too much into that one.

Next up we have the Scottish. Now I know what you're thinking. You're thinking:

Aww he's just going to say they don't drink nearly as much as we think they do and in the process insinuate the irish drink more thus perpetuating the irish alcoholism stereotype. Nice going writing yourself into a corner there James!

Who the hell invited you anyway?

No what I was going to say was that...okay fine you got me. They don't ALL drink that much. Some definitely do. But not all of them. And I've not met the famous scottish racist yet. It would be really awkward considering on my floor theres a half Italian, a German, a half Indian and a half Malaysian. Would have made living here quite tense I'll tell you that. They also don't hate the English as much as I had expected. There are English people about and they don't get beaten up or stoned in the streets or anything

Well some do, but not in the way that you'd think...

Also Irish people don't say top of the morning and the lucky charms advertisement is woefully inaccurate. I mean what have blue moons and red balloons got to do with Ireland? If they had added various flags and a poorly designed pipe bomb, THEN we would have a factually accurate and exciting cereal.

Lucky Charms. How lucky are you?
