I believe radical feminism has reached the popcorn phase now they are directly impacting the 'mean girls' who bullied them at school and excluded them from social circles.
This could get ugly..."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

I rather enjoyed this article from the BBC where one young model complains: "You're seen as a mannequin which is completely outrageous,"
WTF did she think a model was paid to do?England's greatest sailor since Nelson lost the armada.Comment

so it's neither an attack on him nor a puff piece. I can't actually work out the point of the article other than to invite ******* and bitches to the comment section...... Oh hang on, that IS the point of most Guardian journalism these days. Clickbait to infuriate the easily infuriated.
Then there is the snide reference to a mother who complained about jokes about knickers, then she say well they are supposed to be funny.
Then the end paragraphic again references the men only event.
Basically, it's a bit of character assassination. Kind of snidey as well, rather than just saying I don't like this guy.Comment

So, companies are afraid, if they are subject to a campaign it could affect business.
How long before men only events are banned or organisation decide to not host them because of the negative publicity.Comment

Originally posted by scooterscot View PostI know I’m going to get into a lot of trouble for saying this. In fact it’ll not be popular at all and will probably lead to a ban. Indeed for anyone reading this, I’m not going to give any apologies but I feel it is important to speak my mind. Otherwise if I do not then it is all one sided. I just wanted to let you know, I’m selling potatoes.
Hang on, potatoes did you say?Work in the public sector? Read the IR35 FAQ hereComment

Mansplaining is really rather tedious. New chap at ClientCo is one of those. I ask a yes/no question, I get at 15 minute lecture on his deep and meaningful thoughts on the topic, at the end of which I ask "are you saying yes or no?". That triggers another 15 minutes. It's a great way to waste a day.Comment
