Gender Specifics
5/9/2003

Far be it from me to generalize about a whole subset of the population based on a single criterion, such as gender. The risk of impolitic nuances is too great. I'll just post some images and state what I see. Here's one: I've seen hundreds of students--every one of them of the same sex--trying to complete a kickflip on a skateboard. The other half of the population seems to have no need to try.

Here are Carter and Adam, dining al fresco at lunch, enjoying a spontaneous kick-boxing match between Paul and Bryan:

When males spectate a contest, there has to be a winner. Below, T.C. implores the crowd to respond in judgement to each contestant:

Zy and Carolina have a relationship that does not involve kicking one another.
Corner veterans Nora and Phoebe enjoy a lacrosse game. What matters is the quality of play.
Here's Adam--before he got hurt--slurping Fruit Loops in the manner of a barnyard animal.
Seconds later, he shows off an elbow bloodied in a skateboarding accident.
Bryan and Paul entertained the outdoor lunch crowd with a spontaneous marshall arts display.
This particular sport evolved on the second floor of Thoreau House....
and involves sharp kicks to the ribs or groin....
with the apparent goal of incapacitating your foe with pain.
