I searched "Facebook is making me hate my friends" in Google, and your blog came up, itemizing all of my grievances one by one. Why my friends thinks anyone gives a shit that they're sitting on the sofa feeling sleepy, considering having soup for lunch, or that baking cupcakes is the bestest thing in the whole wide world is far beyond my comprehensi...

Commented at 11:10 AM on Mon Nov 29 2010 by Viv You only have to watch 'Judge Judy' (ITV2) most days to see a preponderence of case where a woman is suing another. It usually turns out to be because of a man who has treated her unfairly, but instead of sueing the man, it's the 'other' women who is targeted. On a more serious note, whilst reading modern novels about life is Islamic countries, I am amazed that the women in a househ...

Celebrating women

Are gay men really the great celebrators of women the media makes them out to be?

Gay men are great at celebrating women. Well that's what we're led to believe. You see supposed examples everywhere; from the GBFs of Sex and the City to our newly hailed queens of TV; Graham Nor...

Commented at 01:45 PM on Thu Jun 24 2010 by Single Minded I'd like to suggest that the answer to this article is that women, now days, are way too superficial. It use to be men that were blinded by shapely legs and chest. Now it's women who are after six pack owning, well attired, caring, touchy feely men. Hence the rise in GBF. Women don't need to be carbon copies of superficial men to be liberated.

I certainly didn't realised that you could spoil a vote before and I think it's a way forward. Of course I can't speak for anyone else but I'd rather register my vote (and spoil it) than doing nothing - I only wish more people would do the same.

Commented at 04:59 PM on Mon Apr 26 2010 by Rehab Barbie You make some interesting points here, I certainly agree that some young people have unrealistic expectations (I am inclined to see these as media induced rather than the fault of the state), and that the education system can be improved to better suit students needs and abilities. But you juxtapose the concepts of ‘fairness’ and ‘freedom’ as if they are antithetical to each other, pitting t...

I agree with you; the premise of Spring Awakening does sound interesting, that's the problem. It's a great opportunity wasted. If you still wan...
