And if one of the young men disadvantaged files suit....well that would be special, too.
It is a stupid thing to do.
Dude, he is trying to get laid
If I'm a dude who thinks he's a girl, but dresses as a man by day and a woman by night, do I get the up-grade, or do i have to gentrify HIM as a female just to get the "up" grade?
It's just so SEXIST!!!!!
O.M.G!!!!!!
Don't worry, I'll be dead in 6 minutes if a revolution starts, I'm just that "way", not that there's anything WRONG with that! (because I'm such a puss)
I just don't know how to handle it1
Just another pervert looking for an excuse to peek the things girls have that boys don't..
Great, another Affirmative Action warrior.
