"  As a third-year male university student there is nothing worse than seeing a group of guys in a student bar, collars popped up, smothered in horny smirks like mini Robin Thicke sleaze-balls, leering at women on a dancefloor like pieces of meat. I&amp;#039;m also not a fan of boys who end every sentence with &amp;quot;LAD!&amp;quot;, dismiss condoms as &amp;#039;for pussies&amp;#039; and claim to be the &amp;#039;Archbishop of Banterbury&amp;#039;. It&amp;#039;s completely cringe-worthy, sexist and incredibly ignorant. That&amp;#039;s why I totally support a nationwide crack-down on university lad culture. For example, the UniLad twitter account has &amp;#039;charmingly&amp;#039; tweeted: &amp;quot;My penis is so polite, it stands up so girls have a place to sit down&amp;quot;, and &amp;quot;#YoureMoreAttractiveIf I&amp;#039;ve had about 10 pints and not masturbated in a week.&amp;quot; Such comments make me sad that I share a Y chromosome with these idiots. But the negative press directed towards male students during Freshers, by both papers and radical feminists, has quickly lead to dangerous generalisations of all men being branded as misogynistic sexual deviants. Freshers&amp;#039; 2013 has been marred with the general vibe of, &amp;quot;hey girls, be scared of Uni, cause you&amp;#039;ll be forced to get drunk and probably be raped.&amp;quot; The Independent&amp;#039;s Freshers&amp;#039; guide actually published the line: &amp;quot;Sports clubs are full of predators \u2013 and freshers are their quarry&amp;quot; - a strong contender for an over-generalisation-of-the-year award. Not everything is fuelled by boozy initiations and shagging as many new girls as possible. During my own experience of Freshers&amp;#039; I saw many of my peers meeting new people, championing tolerance and respect. Yes, I saw guys going for girls, but I also saw a group of ladies chanting &amp;quot;Off! Off!&amp;quot; and requesting my mate to unbutton his shirt and reveal his eight-pack. Dangerous feminist commentary during the recent Freshers&amp;#039; furore has argued: &amp;quot;You can&amp;#039;t oppress a man in the patriarchy we live in.&amp;quot; Perhaps they are unaware there are also 9,000 male victims of rape each year, who frequently remain silent due to the embarrassing stigma attached to this act. Ultimately, you can&amp;#039;t end one strand of ignorance, by responding with another. This year, if I was a fresher I&amp;#039;d feel scared to even buy a girl a drink without being accused of oppressing her and being lectured on how she can buy her own vodka mixer without my dirty man money. Not all of us want to grind behind a blind-drunk female wearing a coconut bra to the soundtrack of Blurred Lines. Believe it or not, there are also men who only fancy men! Whilst I support ending Freshers&amp;#039; sexualisation of women and not just playing it down as &amp;#039;immature&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;harmless&amp;#039;, student sexism will not be solved if all of us guys are dangerously &amp;#039;over-generalised&amp;#039; as mini-Thickes trying to get our dicks wet.
