Only boxer shorts

What fresh horror is this?

A man has given his opinions, shock horror , bring back hanging

Let’s hope he at least Annie goes away and reflects on his assumptions and words about his future posts accordingly.

No annie a man has posted prejudiced discriminatory ill informed comments about women and has been patronising and has mansplained. He also made a personal attacks on me - what’s not to like?

maddy damn, doesn’t everyone? ( iron their dh’s underpants) . I also of course pick them up from wherever he has discarded them.

Why can’t you disagree with some posters without sarcasm, you are keeping posters away from this thread ,

That's not what would put me off this thread.

Galaxy you still post on this thread . There are posters who
use to post on Politics threads but sadly no longer.

Why is sarcasm and put downs needed ?

But isn’t this sarcasm?

I think it's not great to blame that on a particular poster.

No not sarcasm , an attempt to try to get through to a few here
that their put downs cause anger and worse cause hurt, also
spoil any hope of a discussion with those with different opinions .

Who are you talking to annie? Do make it clear, it helps the discussion. Is it a singular ‘you’ or a plural ‘you’. It’s a posters choice whether they come on a thread or not. If they don’t like a post, they can report it csn they not? One dealing with serious issues like this was hardly going to be a vicar’s tea party #gransnetpolice.

Sorry Annie but it really is sarcasm- honestly.

Anyway there are many women on this forum who have held down senior roles and, as such, have had to battle with a certain type of male-led culture to get where they are (were). I’m trying to explain that they have experienced prejudice from pontificating males and just won’t stand for it any more.

If it was just a case of a difference of opinion then I would whole-heartedly agree with you, but ‘by and large and in general’ (that great get-out phrase) modern men have evolved into a less discriminatory breed and to come face to face (well not literally) with such outmoded ways of thinking comes as a shock having thought the dinosaurs were extinct.

Put down =stating a logical, well informed position, often backed up with good quality research.

That sounds exactly like “ Womansplaining to me, women can do and be anything they want it’s their choice and I fully support that. Women have to opportunity to take control of their lives and many do just that, those that don’t blame others for their misfortune.

Many women make the wrong life decisions which affect their whole lives and it’s always someone else’s fault, that’s not likely to change.

That’s the way it is ladies, you are not going to change your opinion and I’m not going to change mine.

Interesting that a woman makes one wrong choice and it affects their whole life.

Men get to make many wrong choices and still fail upwards.

How do you see that as at all equal?

Oh, lovely irony
