    Bono is not even the best woman in her own marriage.

    what?

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Bono named ‘Glamour’ Man of the Year!

    I don't see the Woman of the Year part?

    Soon we won't be able to identify as men and women because of the social castration of men. Bono is a man. Not a woman.

    Hmm, did Glamour quickly change the title, or did Twitter jump the gun...

    Bono Just Became Glamour's First Man of the Year
    Thanks to his charity Poverty Is Sexist, the U2 frontman is leading the battle for gender…

    Women not having a great run of it over the last week or so. UN female ambassador Wonder Woman and Bono Woman of the Year. Why?
    Neither real woman
    Come on women. Do better. :pac:

    No one thinks Bono is a woman. They just decided to give an award intended for women to him because clearly there were no women deserving of it. The only possible recipient was a man

    A man representative of everything western society strives for: pitiless neo-liberal exploitation masked with the most liberal rhetoric (no matter how self-evidently insincere).

    Caitlyn Jenner won the same award, glamour woman of the year. This is the person who stated that the hardest thing about being a woman is deciding what to wear. A true feminist icon.

    Bono might be a top-10 level global twat, just behind Bruce Jenner, and slightly ahead of the well-known lawyer Hillary Rodham Clinton. It's that close.
