What is it with men? Some men, perhaps, but TOO MANY

Not to lower the tone, and not an expression I’d ever use, but at (nearly) 74, it’s a term of which I’m fully aware. Just saying.

Good grief!
I’d never heard of this expression until I read this (had to follow the link) and I think it extremely crude.
No man in my family has ever used it, and I’m confident they never would.

Never heard of it. I hate all this”woke” nonsense.

Hate to say it, but you clearly don’t know the meaning of woke either!

Friends are rallying round him due to 'concerns for his mental health'. Yawn.....

When I looked this up I was shocked .
What a disgusting and derogatory thing to say.
I hope he loses all his “entertainment“ contracts.
He deserves it.

What do you mean by”woke nonsense” ?
Do you understand the expression? I had to look it up and won’t lower myself by cutting and pasting
For anybody to use the expression is IMO frankly disgusting. “Inappropriate” doesn’t come close.

Not an expression I've come across until I read the post and didn't understand it. I had to look it up to discover the slang meaning.

I’ve never heard of this comment and wouldn’t have a clue what it meant. I doubt my late DH would have either.

What a stupid man Wynne Evans is. He was let off the hook for his questionable behaviour during Strictly and yet here he is again showing no respect for his female colleagues.

The man’s a menace. Get Rid!

Never heard of that term !

A minority of men I think and hope maw. With a primarily male family it’s not a term I’ve ever heard.

Wynne Evans has stepped away from his BBC radio programme after making an “inappropriate and unacceptable” remark towards a Strictly Come Dancing presenter
Evans, the opera singer and star of the Go Compare adverts, was caught on camera appearing to use the term “spit roast” in reference to Janette Manrara, who is hosting the Strictly live tour.
The incident happened during a photocall for the tour in Birmingham, as Ms Manrara stood between Evans and Jamie Borthwick, another Strictly contestant. Borthwick did not take part in the exchange
I am proud to say it would not have occurred to DH or indeed any men in my family to use that sort of language.
D1 and GD (10) went to the Strictly Live show 10 days ago, with friends, also with a 10 year old daughter.
GD loved it but if she had caught any of the interview what on earth could we have said to her?
