Sure, laine, you’re absolutely right. Really, I fully agree with you.

I’m thinking more of the traditional English male’s attitude to women. Was it a myth? Is it still there?

Nobody really knows, because men are very reticent about talking about it. When I pass by pubs (of which there are a lot in this town) and see the male bonding there, I…[Read more]

a very, very sexy dance by P.J.Harvey as she sings the Ballad of the Soldier’s Wife, about all the gifts her husband sent her from each city captured by the victorious German army..until Stalingrad (?), when she received a very different gift. A warning to warmongers.Lyrics below

yeah, men and women have certainly changed since I was a young man in the Dark Ages. We’ve had the Renaissance and Reformation, parliament, votes for women etc since my schooldays.

Still…I do seem to notice..I’m not talking about women, whose attitudes have been transformed since I was a boy – I’m talking about men and their relationship to…[Read more]

Agrees with starshine.

Hillary is an awful candidate. When all Americans (and Brits too!) want change, she is ‘no change’ in person.

But Trump?? *screams

All the sharp money is still on Hillary, but it’s getting nervous. It remembers the confidence about Britain voting to stay in the EU, and the shock when we didn’t.

It doesn’t depend on…[Read more]

ban him!!! (is that denigration?)

haha, Sophie.

You have an earthy wit.

No it’s not what I mean.

I’m talking about the attitude of a lot of men to women in this country. They don’t like em. They need em for various things, from bed to kitchen, but they find them hard to live with. Can you blame such men?  The women are so much cleverer, have such sharp tongues.

misogyny and male-bonding, Reason (sic)??

That’s for sure

haha haha

homophobes and woman-haters

oh – you seemed to know a lot about me as Brigg, so you must have been in the room a fair amount when I was there – you even said that I post very differently in the room than I do here. When I confronted the person I feel is you, he went into jelly, and at a later date he was devious, never actually denying it. Even so, I won’t say who it is…[Read more]

He’s been asked that before, somer, when he said that he posted in the same way on the boards as he did in f3. He didn’t reply to the question then.. I wonder if we’ll get a reply this time

Get well and soon, Ms K. We’re all waiting for your return.

I’ve been starting to smell ignorance.
