I think there is a bit of cultural relativism going on here. As someone who goes to UCSB, that's simply the culture here. We have a lot of very smart "bro"s and while it might offend you, that's just the way we roll. It's about being chill. partying hard on weekends, getting drunk, having fun, having sex and then working hard during the week (some people are partying all the time, but as the uni has been getting higher and higher caliber students every year this has become rarer.. well except for the SBCC kids.).

While maybe a bit crude, for the average women at UCSB this wouldn't be "unwelcoming".

Maybe he should have targeted the website more to the average American and mentioned Jesus a few times (I'm being facetious to make a point)

I went to UCSB as an undergrad for 2 years. I can guarantee if you ask -- and really listen! -- to women at UCSB, every single one would find this unwelcoming. Sexism isn't a 'culture' it is disgusting. Way to go 'bro'.
Now hang on, pretty much a lot of people have sex just like being depicted here. Pretty much, a lot. Sexism < Sex.
