How can we trust the legal profession with this level of deviancy going on?

Mixed feelings.

On the one hand, this has nothing to do with their professional affiliation. Are solicitors supposed to be morally superior than anyone else? In any case, all men, and presumably all women, talk about the opposite sex, and which ones we are into. I hardly think that requires discipline.

On the other hand, there is a minority of guys who always take it a bit too far. in my experience they are usually significantly older than this cohort, but some self-described "total legends" also go at it. They're self-evident idiots, and deserve any bollocking they get.

So it all depends on what was said, and whether they were slagging-off their fellow students vs agreeing that some of their classmates were attractive.

I know some ould lads, farmers, who used to classify women on the EUROP grid. For anyone who isn't from a farming background, it's basically a system of classifying cattle according to their body shape and size. That obviously crosses the line of 'acting the dick', but I don't know how similar this situation was.
