@DrGuddiSingh @BBCWomansHour @BBCNuala Thank you for the reference and the important caveat; it’s important for everyone to know exactly what you meant as could have looked like there were different pay scales for different genders XxJxX

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@rcpsych Hmm that’s not necessarily about access … many won’t go & see a mental health service provider or their GP because … of many variables … limited resources need to be targeted towards lower cost, sustainable, free/virtually free services that are available on every high street

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@BBCWomansHour Tate and his followers are an extreme and ugly response to men’s feeling of worthlessness and intense misandry that prevails seemingly everywhere and yet is spoken about very very little

Men need help. How do we give it. This should be our focus.

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@BBCWomansHour Minister for Men … and you focus on the need?? No … why not?

However your piece about the lady’s brother is a good example of one of the symptoms of the immense pressure men are under in this new age.
Men are crumbling under the stigma of being a man and Andrew

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@BBCWomansHour can’t believe you’re playing this … very delicate, very complex … there are many many variables at play and these things are digested over months and years of therapy (which it clearly sounds the daughter has been having which can ignite the challenges)

Woman’s hour is a disgrace today

@susborne Crazily Radio4 Today programme presenters ‘laughed’ at this! Clearly no idea what it is to live with short stature. Maybe it’s time to address the heightist abuse & discrimination that exists. Sounds like you’re in a position to address this. e.g. Football’s use of ‘diminutive’

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@BBCr4today what on earth were you guys doing ‘laughing’ about men pursuing the very difficult decision to get leg extensions?! Would you have laughed at breast reconstruction or gender affirmation surgery! You clearly don’t have awareness of their daily struggles

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@RichardEGrant @laurenlaverne What an honour & privilege to have so much of your life shared with us … I had a similar childhood experience & was jolted upon hearing yours. And my tears were flowing before we heard yours x love & light to you & your daughter

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@adamfare1996 Like everything there are great and less great counsellors and lots in training … a good counsellor, where appropriate and where it’s what you want, will provide you with a space like no other

@MrJonnyBenjamin Good to ‘see’ you Jonny XxJxX

@anitabboateng well done trying to explain re bankers earnings on Radio 5 … shame @TherealNihal didn’t seem to understand!

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@SpotSignSuicide @MindInMidHerts_ The gently descending slope to the edge of the abyss; the gradual descent into the depths until youre drowning &cant get to the surface; the silent scream; the angels that open their arms &hearts &sit beside u… youre not alone… reach out to them if u can, they’re reaching for u

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@susansuekennedy @DrJessTaylor regardless of gender, individuals “are & always have been t best (& shld be t only) decision maker in whether they can raise a child safely 2b a healthy happy adult. Only they knw if theyve t ability, means & right environmnt 2 dedicate their life 2 this often under valued, job”

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@sylviaclare @DrJessTaylor On the contrary it’s that first line that’s engaging because of what it churns inside … then the movement in J’s way of looking at the issue … turning to support for others XxJxX

[The Listening Cafe @ThListeningCafe]

@Kevin_McCloud totally awesome episode this evening and your performance/writing was equally beautiful
