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

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.

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.

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

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

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, if I knew I would not have asked

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.

What is the word for dislike of men?

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!!

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

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

The absolutely awful misogyny posted on GN on a regular basis

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

Mine is a bit shallow, but I hope the terrible fashion disappears for thick dark eyebrows with one unnatural straight edge. The photo shows what I mean,

I agree with lots of the suggestions, but I quite like Harry and Meghan so I don't mind all the hype before the wedding. I have watched Suits from the start, so maybe I'm more used to her.

I also don't mind all the women who are calling out men for inappropriate behaviour. Anything that stops women being viewed as fair game is fine by me. I've also realised that I am a bit of a prude because what bugs me about this whole business is how many of the men involved are married. I expect the people who represent me or are in public life and paid by the tax payer to demonstrate a decent standard of morals. I can't trust someone who is untrustworthy in their public or private lives. (Gets off soap box ).

Farage - why does he still get so much airtime - what relevance has he now?

The Royal Family

Mary Berry

Sexual not s dual

* Nottooold* could you give me a link to the cases old men who were charged with s dual harassment 20 years ago for putting their hands on someone’s knee and calling them sweetie? I must have missed that in all the prosecutions of men including many many priests who raped and sexually assaulted children and eg Stuart Hall.FFS

Brexit - just get one with it!
X factor
Britains got Talent
"Celeb" shows in the jungle or the bb house
Can't think of what to call it but all that c**p about not calling boys boys or girls girls but referring to them all as Zen or something
I do have to defend the Christmas bedding though - its on for Christmas week and I'm happy to know that it means no going out to work while its on!!!!

Trump
Theresa May
Ant and Dec receiving yet another award

No more sleaze in Government
No more over usage of transgender issues
No more Lord Sugar or so called celebrities in the jungle
No more me being a Grumpy old Woman.

NotTooOld said: No more old men being charged with sexual harassment because 20 years ago they put a hand on your knee and called you 'Sweetie'. For Gawd's sake. (Of course, it's different if it's children and it's different if it's REALLY sexual harassment - not the sort that any woman worth her salt couldn't deal with on the spot).

I am with you here. Kate Maltby says she complained to authorities, afaics all she needed to do was reply to the text msg that she found it objectionable. As to "a fleeting touch on her knee" during a conversation, that does not sound like harassment to me. If she thought it was, move the knee (or the hand).
There are women for whom a job depended on a predatory man in a senior position, that is harassment.
But Kate Maltby is a journalist!

definately the royals ,Trump ,I cant believe hes STILL president and hoping for an end to Tory misrule in 2018.People MUST have come to their senses by now after the debts rising daily and the austerity hurting the poor and vulnerable

No more talking about " the will of the people" ( about 25% of the population who for one reason or another voted leave in June last year, including many who now regret it)

The Kardashians and 'celebrities' in general
The Royals
Political correctness gone mad

MamaCaz..... that reminds me of another one... pleeese no more photos in the media of a gnarled old hand clutching a walking stick which seems to preface every article about the elderly (usually how selfish we are to be draining the NHS and not conveniently dying ) .
