    Made up word by someone who works in gender studies whatever the heck that is. Think I can safely ignore that.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    That's strange because the entire culture was essentially constructed and lionized by magazines like Loaded that were largely aimed at - and largely staffed by - men.

    Ah, 'Lad Mags', I had heard it somewhere else. Aren't they an endangered species now? Like any other glossy magazine aimed at people young enough to have no excuse for not knowing how to use the internet.

    Lads mags have been replaced by mags like Men's health and Muscle & Fitness and so on. It's all about attaining that Geordie Shore physique now.

    Not much to refute. That "article" is just an attempt to paint men out to be drunken louts with nothing positive to contribute to society. Y,know, because we're all one homogeneous population.

    The foreigner residing among you must be treated as your native-born. Love them as yourself, for you were foreigners in Egypt. I am the LORD your God.

    But hey, let's start the male bashing threads again, it's starting to become an all too common occurrence in AH.

    Thread started by a male poster and most contributions are from men. You should probably sort it out amongst yourselves.

    Two-thirds had heard rape or sexual assault jokes on campuses.

    They're idiots, noone is disputing that but they don't speak for or represent men as a whole. It's crap like this that leads to censorship and other draconian nonsense.

    This thread was started by a man. Most contributions are by men. A few weeks ago, women were complaining about misogyny on boards and you came on all guns blazing demanding examples not willing to listen to anyone.

    You have serious issues. You're not the only one on Boards though.

    Fcuk this ****.

    Plenty did, and the funniest thing about it was they thought they were doing anything new or revolutionary! It was a sad cliché really, but not half as bad as the sex and the city phenomenon that came after it. Fcuk me that was annoying!

    But hey, let's start the male bashing threads again, it's starting to become an all too common occurrence in AH.


    By all means start a feedback thread about it so if you feel that strongly about it. If a certain culture of men behaving like cocks annoys me, I think people are entitled to call them out on behaving like twats. I wouldn't get too worked up about it though, it's not as facepalm inducing yet as the "cheeky chappy" phenomenon...

    That "Ladbrokes life" advertising campaign is still shìte though, and Ladbrokes only have themselves to blame for that.
