And the bullshit thats put out constantly about how men make womens lives a drudgery.<br /><br />I do actually work in a mostly male environment, and this sort of crap never comes up - its only on the periphery. But I still get fed up with it.<br /><br />You want to get Kath (and my wife) going on the subject of a mostly female work environment some time. It would make you shudder... so much for "caring sharing communicating" female managers.... ha ha ha ha ha!!!ashleighhttp://ashleigh.id.aunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-38739342553717684312009-11-29T19:03:09.532-08:002009-11-29T19:03:09.532-08:00LC got all shy about his blog and immediately whip...LC got all shy about his blog and immediately whipped it off.

It's that sort of lazy, defeatist, generalised thinking that I want to rail against.<br />The problem with railing against man-bashing humour in general is that often it's actually the only way for lots of women to get back a bit of their own from the, no doubt, tedious stream of men who've travelled through their lives. I really wanted to add something like "if you don't like the way the men in your life behave, get rid of them". But that sort of 'shit or get off the pot' talk doesn't really solve anything.<br /><br />Are they the victims here?<br />Am I?<br />I just figure that if enough decent blokes out there just say 'Get stuffed' to that kind of 'All men are dumb' type humour, then hopefully it will encourage some kind of examination about exactly why it occurs.

True, there are some dumbo type men out there, but it's also true that some women are just as dumb. All that "standing around waiting for a big strong man to help..." business just crumbles my cookies. Forget the man and find some way to deal on your own. Shift your own spiders, change your own tyres, and so on.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4696126386168661766.post-26515581021943969032009-11-26T21:29:09.795-08:002009-11-26T21:29:09.795-08:00You'n'me, LC.

I'm with you Franzy!"<br /><br />The advertisements on telly invariably portray men as idiots which is unfair. "Silly Daddy" is one such line I remember from a Huggies nappies ad from a year or two ago, and KFC have used the Dumb Dad many times to 'Make Mother's Day Special' by visiting a drive-thru and bringing back a heart attack in a bucket.<br /><br />I have never, ever said "Men". Mainly because there is so much that could be said right back to me...Kath Locketthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09677312773827236567noreply@blogger.com
