Buying drinks at the union
Follow-up to Sexism from Alis in Wonderland
So previously I said that the uni was different to most bars as they didn't make any preferances towards men or women when buying drinks. Well since coming back to uni I've realised what I said before was a bunch of crap!
I was shocked and suprised when it took one of my housemates (male by the way) over 15 minutes to get our drinks and the only reason we got our drinks was because he asked a girl to buy them for us. It has never taken me that long to get a drink.
But one thing I think it comes down to is the mad crush around the bar, I have found that I am able to squeeze myself to the front whereas I have never seen a guy do this. Maybe its because the guys don't want to do this, maybe they can't, I don't know.
But now I see why so many guys asks girls to buy them their drinks. It really does take a shorter time.

I'm be afraid to. Squeezing through to the front feels like "hopping the queue" to me (even though the notion that there is "a queue" is absurd). In the first place, it doesn't seem fair to others and in the second, as a bloke, it could easily lead to trouble. When a guy does it I tend to give him a stern look like "what the hell are you doing? I'm here!" but when a girl does it's much more "oh those cheeky females, what will they do next? ".
Sexism, I suppose.
