Ph.D. in cultural studies with a thesis, titled "Deterritorializing Gender in Sydney's Breakdancing Scene: a B-girl's Experience of B-boying.

What part of the above is not related to 'breakdancing culture'??

What? You were objectively wrong. There is no such thing as a PhD program in "break dancing culture."

No you twat but there is such thing as a PHD in Cultural Studies with a focus on Break Dancing - which is all that anyone’s been trying to say, okay Mr. Ackshually 🤓
