Thing and People I do not want to see or hear about in 2018

Any of the royals because I’ve had just about enough of the over-privileged “we are normal” load of shit.

The absolutely awful misogyny posted on GN on a regular basis

Greg Wallace! WHAT is Greg Wallace for? WHY is there so much of him?

Although he seems a nice chap, maybe some programmes where Phillip Schofield is not the host

Mysogeny: dislike of, contempt for, or ingrained contempt of women FFS Marylizawhatever
what forum are you on? Ain't this one! This one can be political.... sometimes dominated by the gang of three who are red in tooth and claw, feminist..... yep sweetheart, I was on that particular bandwagon before you were an embryo, as were many of us, and health ....all sorts of awful medical conditions which can come with age { Gransnet.... strike a bell?)that make me give thanks for good health.And some of us can be a tad pedantic ( me included)
But mysogeny. .. strike light!!

What is the word for dislike of men?

Misandry, Annie, as I'm sure you know! Why should there be a need for either word? We are supposedly all created equal. But if a certain poster had lived in a parish where the congregation were 99.9% (and agressivly ) against the ordination of women into the Anglican church and she was a lone voice, well, then she could talk about mysogney .... sorry everyone, I have gone way off point.

willsmadnan, if I knew I would not have asked

I don't believe that Annie. Anyway, have as happy a Christmas as you can, and let's hope a new year is much better.

Willsmadnan, may I have an apology, you have accused me of being a liar

If I’m brutally honest - there are some Gransnetters I’d love not to see post again (grin)

Wilma - I'm with you on the eyebrows.

MaryEliza - can't give you a link as I was not citing an actual case, just a general observation. Please note I excluded children and anything that is REALLY sexual harassment. As a woman of the world I'm sure you know what I mean.

willsmadnan read through this thread and then tell me there's no mysogeny on GN.

I thought of something else. I hope in 2018 that reality TV celebrities stop getting pregnant and having a baby like it's the fashionable thing to do.

Aging celebrities who have had long and successful careers already and now are doing documentaries in their dotage. We have Mary Berry talking about stately homes, Judi Dench telling us about her passion for trees, Chris Tarrant and Julie Walters on train journeys, and now David Jason is telling us about the spy system. Surely there are talented young people needing the work.

Over use of certain celebs on a plethora of programmes e.g. Alan Titchmarsh and Joanna Lumley. As the Spanish say 'they're even in your soup'.

Jeremy Corbyn
Diane Abbott
Anna Soubry
Donald Trump
Pictures of anyone's grandchildren over the age of two

Farage - what is he for?

Frivolous ones.
Slug eyebrows.
Fat women in 'cold shoulder tops'. And with big tattoos.
Everyone always on their phones.
Bad table manners
Serious ones:
More cultural, arts , literature on TV , less ' celebs' and rubbish
Brexit sorted.
Trump gone

Brides with tattoos on show. Yuk

No more BREXIT - time we canned it

I don't want to see my big wobbly belly in 2018 .

Trump, of course
Examples of obscene consumption such as £40k silk dresses for dogs!!!

Nothing bothers or annoys me i just go with the flow,take me or leave me

Please no more X rated TVs programmes that I didn't know were X rated ....... Or should I say 18? I would rather not have to switch off after an eyeful!

Wilma, saying you don't like somebody's hat is misogyny?

No? Didn't mean to misspell misogyny BTW. One of the definitions of misogyny is the belittling of women and that's what some posters are doing on the 'hat' thread. At least I think that's what I was thinking about when I posted but I honestly can't remember!
