Just out of interest, Dave, what's this thing with the *asterisks*? I've always meant to ask.

we know the system is biased against men as he says you only have to look at mens rights to see their children for one.

Still i am surprised he dare say this they will probably de-select him for this

Can you take them off first, or does that not count?

That is the sort of sexist crap no-one needs.









We all know that vibrators can't do the ironing either

Problem we've got these days is women are expected to do everything - work full-time, have children and still have a meal on the table at the end of the day. It's bloody hard work! Men are allowed their little hobbies like cars and bikes etc. because they've earnt it working so hard during the week. Women have a pile of ironing and the house to clean.

I have a cleaner so I can also do hobbies at the weekend. It's all about balance and if like J4CKO, men were to give a little bit of their time up to do something which would have traditionally been a female task, then things I think would run a great deal smoother in the home. Surely a relationship is a partnership and any one which has one person running themselves ragged and the other not, (male or female), is not going to work.

I am a worker, always have been, always will. I don't see myself as sponging off anyone and my relationship is a partnership where we get to enjoy plenty of shared interests and things like that. I'm not in it to get out of it what I can, so am annoyed at some of the comments in this thread basically saying that all women are the devil incarnate. Very sad and I actually pity you.

The same sort of sexism that was caught off-air and said in private that got Richard Keys and Andy Gray sacked can be seen everyday on-air on Loose Woman

Quid pro quo, would there be more sex in it for us as part of this deal?

I'm sure if women were less stressed and had more spare time, then why not? If that's all men want out of a relationship, then again, I feel great pity.

Did anybody see question time last night.

This business about the sexist comments came up and as usual you get the MPs jumping on the PC band wagon but there was some business woman type person who basically said its all getting a bit silly and women shouldn't expect preferential treatment (its clearly gone beyond equality as they were likening a sexist comment to a racist comment) Even a girl in the audience said that whole thing has been blown out of proportion and seems more like an excuse to ditch one of both of the commentators.
