I think it's just built into men. For instance I hate small boobs and end up staring at small boobs thinking where are they. Other lads I know would hate big boobs and would stare at big boobs saying yuck. It's not something men are aware of. And when women comment to.men on other women's looks it is harsh, even when they are pretending to pay compliments to.other women's looks there is a lot going on below the surface that everyone is aware of but nobody says.

What a crazy turnaround. Caveat to that of course is their same great granddaughters want to have their cake and eat it too.

Instead of wringing your hands about women 'going back to a Victorian notion' why aren't you getting bent out of shape about the fact that in the 21st century men can't be trusted to keep their hands to themselves and need a chaperone to keep an eye on them? Seriously, why 'women are hysterical' and not 'dudes: stop fondling women!'?

I think we are at that stage. One of the girls at work said today that she likes getting wolf whistles. Well I couldn't believe the attack on her by the other women . It was savage. Poor girl will never say that again I can tell you.

Come back to me when you have lived in a patriarchal society, and we can discuss things in a more informed way.

This repellent creep Weinstein and now #metoo has hastened its break from cover and social "studies" workshops in US universities. Using genuine victims and victimhood as politic. Last week I read of yer man David Schwimmer from Friends who was being interviewed by a woman journalist and he suggested because the hotel lobby was too loud that they go up to his room, but that he asked her if she'd like a chaperone. She described this as sensitive to her needs and all that. A chaperone FFS.

We get whistled and shouted at in the street. We get groped in pubs. We get cornered by men who will not take no for an answer, or who get aggressive when rejected. We have it drummed into us from the time we hit puberty: 'don't be alone with a man' Every man on a quiet street is a potential threat Every man walking behind us could be a rapist Men we don't know are threats Men we do know are even bigger threats The single biggest threat to women is men
