There is no female equivalent.

Because telling people how to handle their sexuality and conduct themselves in consensual situations with the opposite sex is misogynistic slut shaming!

Oh wait, that's only for women. m'bad

Decabowl · 2013-09-24T00:25:21+00:00

check your privilege

I'm pretty fucking sure they are preaching to the choir, because no "unilad" will give two startling shits about privilege.

AgentCircle · 2013-09-24T02:56:01+00:00

Look at that, another article written by a woman telling men how to behave. To which I respond, "Or what?" No seriously lady, what are you going to do if I don't act the way you want me to act? Guilt trip me? I spent 20 years and counting surrounded by middle-aged and elderly jewish women, try me. Withhold sexual/romantic favors? Well, I like dudes so... Fire me? You're not my boss. I genuinely have no reason to care about what you say.

But again, the best part is the moment I try to pull this on a woman, the misogynist card would be pulled so quick...I can't think of a funny metaphor at the moment, so I'll think about that.

Point is feminists, your fight for equality has put a whole new set of double standards that you refuse to recognize, and that's a pretty dick move coming from you guys.

Equality my ass.

I'm really glad they brought up the costumes point. Nothing says "I hate women" like wearing a costume.

ZimbaZumba · 2013-09-24T05:27:09+00:00

This is 'Lad Shaming'. There needs to be march and a protest! Possibly even a petition!

The stereotype of a UniLad is from my experience a fairly uncommon beast on UK campuses. They do appear in small and perhaps visible numbers on weekends; but frankly most students these days are fairly conservative people.

Stereotyping of groups is forbidden, unless of course they are male and mostly white.

occupythekitchen · 2013-09-24T03:12:44+00:00

No flip flops, the fuck?

junoguten · 2013-09-24T05:11:24+00:00

get tested.

Was forever since I read someone tell women to do that before fucking around. TIL only men spread diceases.

FuriousMouse · 2013-09-24T07:22:53+00:00

This is just another tutorial om how men should behave from women's perepective

angryman22 · 2013-09-24T10:48:27+00:00

tbh when I went to uni the guys could be pretty scummy. The girls weren't angels but it was the guys mostly behaving badly. "No parents, lets turn into stupid animals!!" was the attitude.

Invalid_Target · 2013-09-24T17:16:54+00:00

What the fuck is this? Middle earth? I have no idea what the fuck they are saying in this guide...

Otherwise you might have to take a break from air punching to Fatman scoop in order to do a "Tactical Chunder" in the carpark. Contrary to what UniLads everywhere say, peeking too early and not being able to hold your drink, resulting in "total vomcano" (LAD!) does not make you a "legend". Boasting about "freshers' flu", however is a standard for everyone, and can be cleared up with a vodka berocca followed by a very long snooze, and a snivelly phone call to your mum.

u wot m8?

euneaux · 2013-09-24T01:41:31+00:00

There is obviously no "privilege" to make a similar check list to tell females how males prefer they behave.

StopEnjoyingThings · 2013-09-24T04:29:27+00:00

Brb, getting Heineken to sue the guardian.

s1500 · 2013-09-24T05:23:33+00:00

And it was written by a woman.

SRSLovesGawker · 2013-09-24T01:38:17+00:00

I agree. Pretty sad.

But it's the guardian. It's hard to get overly excited about bullshit and nonsense from the guardian. That's their stock in trade.

junoguten · 2013-09-24T05:11:58+00:00

Good to see the guardian defending truth again after defending false rape claims saying they should be ignored.

Journalistic Integrity. Hah.

anillop · 2013-09-24T15:54:23+00:00

WTF is wrong with flip flops?

duglock · 2013-09-24T16:13:36+00:00

And it was written by a woman. Why is it that women feel the need to tell men how to behave. I wonder what the reaction would be if I posted a thread telling woman how to behave in order to please me.

MrBradders · 2013-10-12T16:37:01+00:00

Little off topic, I don't know why they say not to wear costumes, I just finished freshers repping for my uni and dress up nights are excellent if you put in the effort!

2013-09-24T02:57:01+00:00

While I support their goal - fewer people acting like wankers - this is not the way to go about it.

Some actual advice for "UniLads":

1) Go to the gym.

2) Use a condom.

bl1y · 2013-09-24T01:04:12+00:00

Fucking slags.

AhViaMusicom · 2013-09-24T11:47:05+00:00

fat girl rodeo? is that a thing?

MLGisNotForMe · 2013-09-24T12:32:25+00:00

Why did the word "cunt" come to mind over and over while reading that?

Roddy0608 · 2013-09-24T13:38:57+00:00

Bin the banter, learn to enjoy a drink without the aid of a funnel and remember that it's OK to be friends with women.

Many women say they like banter and even expect men to drink alcohol. I like to say I "don't do banter". I don't drink alcohol either. Therefore, I'm "boring".

theskepticalidealist · 2013-09-24T13:44:49+00:00

We cant tell girls what to do, are you crazy????????????????

tyciol · 2013-09-24T17:34:18+00:00

a screenshot, not a link, because fuck them

So instead of visiting the page to confirm its contents in 1 click, those of us who wish to must google a portion of the text in hopes of finding it. Seems to fuck us more than the Guardian.

It would be nice if Rhiannon Lucy Cossiett (some middle name) also told women to remember that men are human beings, to check any privilege they might also have, to get tested and use condoms, and maybe be sensitive to the feelings of those you friendzone.
