I mean, why let the actual doctor get a word in edgeways? Like he'd have any knowledge of the causes of cancer, the feminist "comedian" knows better than him

That guy is brilliant, I've just watched a few others, it's amazing how riled and upset he gets these feminists over things so minor, he remains calm whilst they get all stroppy.

I'm no fan of Smurthwaite, but I thought she made some good points, especially about cancer still being more prevalent in men and that the focus shouldn't be solely on women. She seemed unpredictably reasonable in that clip.

I was thinking during the first (cancer) clip that she sounded quite reasonable.
She didn't seem to me to be blaming women's cancer on men's dangly bits at all.

She did blame the fact that the 'gender pay gap' isn't closing as one of the reasons women are drinking more.

Except that the overall average gender pay gap is closing.



Women between the ages of 22 and 30 (and possibly into their 40s) appear to actually be out earning men.

And it is arguable, when all else is equal and all variable are considered - whether a significant gender pay gap against women exists at all.



Perhaps the reason women are drinking more is because they are getting depressed listening to all the feminist 'woe is me' victim complex bullst.

I have seen Feminism in action !

Quick background.

Young feminist has worked with us (team of 6) for 2 - 3 years now, we have always got on well despite her being almost half my age. She helped sew some car seats for me and I have met her mother, when she realised her boyfriend was ill we had lunch and discussed her options - my wife has suffered the same. We get on well.

Anything can be discussed from her burning her underwear to some new bolts I have bought for the car, mocking the stupid is a regular topic.

FGM came up again, it is not a taboo subject. Whilst reading through a woman's blog about victims talking about being taken on special holidays when they were 11.. There was a video which showed a young girl going through this wonderful time in her life, with her family all around her.
It is a Youtube video, it is not graphic you see no genitalia, blood, blade or the act itself, infact if you didn't know what we had been talking about you would not actually be sure what was happening. It is not as graphic as Iran's top ten acid attacks, which we had viewed previously.

I beckon her over to look at said video.

That night she is deeply upset by said video and the poor girl and no doubt the other 27m Egyptian women who have been cut.

What did she do next ?

Set up a Facebook page calling for protests at the Egyptian Embassy in London

Write to her MP asking why there appears to be little progress in stamping this out in the UK.

Make a formal complaint against me for showing her the video.....

Was there any intent to upset her - of course not I would consider her a friend.

Was it foolish of me - clearly !

Will I show or discuss any sensitive subjects with her again - God no.

I await a meeting with my HR.

Except apparently she can't go out in public without dozens of men wolf-whilsting her

How does that tie in with FGM and acid attack videos?

Today I told the cute girlie in the office that my Love Train would shortly be arriving at her station if she wanted to get on board.

She laughed, put the squeeze on me for a chocolate chip cookie and changed the subject to how she wants a Dachshund.

Thank god there's some non-nutters around.

Yep, some of the stuff that I say to my admin manager could get me easily sacked for sexual harassment, if she were that way inclined; probably divorced too!

Fortunately she takes it in the way that it is intended (not that way!) and gives as good as she gets.

My working environment isn't one where eloquence & sophistry are highly prized.

March 8, International Women's Day, possibly to be a "Day Without a Woman" as women go on general strike in the USA.

Link to Vogue website - yes, I read all kinds of things on the 'net

fking hell.

A guy I know had a very bantery (is that even a word) relationship with a female colleague; sometimes it became a bit risqué between the both of them, however it was always in jest and taken in the light-hearted manner that it was intended.

I can't remember exactly what happened and what was said as it was a while ago now, however one days she made a sexually suggestive quip to him, he responded about her lips, but not the ones up top, and the next thing he was up with HR, received a warning and had to attend a sexual harassment in the workplace course.
