I have to say I’m bitterly disappointed with lot of you.

NowUC has a report (and a racy picture) on the inaugural UC Res Women’s Jelly Wrestling competition with “Old Res” taking the title over Arscott and UV .

How we could not have been informed of this event beforehand is beyond me.

Any event like Riotact paintball and female jelly wrestling, perhaps?

Pack your flanny and thongs!

Now that I think about it, perhaps this type of event needs to be formally organised. We wouldn’t want our casual viewers to feel an ‘air of neglect’.

Amen to that.

Bring it on!

Oh, sorry for the delay in adding my comment, I’ve been busy today.

I’m right here…I only believe in jelly wrestling when, well, you get the picture…
I did my undergrad degree at UC and I never saw this. Bugger.
And as far as reinforcing stereotypes goes, I think that if more females see this type of behaviour and try to comform, the world viewed through male eyes will be a much better place.

lordy, where is VY and the usual take on same sex dalliances

why aren’t they naked?

very disappointing

Ariel Levy (in ‘Female Chauvinist Pigs’) has an intereting take on the brand of modern feminism epitomised by jelly wrestling.

I reckon smokers probably made them do it; I mean, they are blamed for just about everything else that’s wrong in society.

It’s all good Simto. Life’s alot easier when you communicate in grunts. Ask Simon Woolford.

I believe this is the modern version of gender studies – where women are free to choose to display themselves in any way they choose to.

Men, by the way, are still not allowed to perve. Gender studies still hasn’t quite progressed to the point at which blokes are thought of as anything beyond slightly evolved monkeys, after all…

Yes, peer pressure and all that.

Nobody made them get in the jelly, Thumper.

true Lucie, but I am sure that gynaecology on the curriculum however.

Well, they obviously don’t teach gender studies at UC!

Either there’s a spot of something on the camera lense, or one of those ladies has a mullet-hawk.

Where’s the picture of the “costume malfunction”?
