@petitecyclist What was your reason behind questioning the age gap? Does it affect your life? Why should they need to explain why they’ve married who they’ve married? Is it any of your business?
@PhilipJCartwri1@ilkestontown_fc Hey Cheggy, I’m doing really well thanks. With Danny back and now Dave Morley joining as photographer, you’re going to see Ilson’s media hitting new heights.
@petitecyclist Aah, the good old Cycling Snobbery, just let people be. Judging people for what they wear is more of a sign of being a wanker than what someone wears.
Why do we only ever gender the bad things men do, and never the good?
Crime data finds that men commit 79% of violent crimes, which seems enough to “gender” such a thing as “male violence”.
Fine.
But then why don’t we do the same for bystander rescues, which men perform at far higher rates (92%)?
We, quite rightly, have moved to gender neutral terms like “firefighter” to make way for the heroism of the one in ten firefighters who are female.
And yet, a far larger number of abused men, who are now 41% of all victims, are erased by our highly gendered frameworks of domestic abuse, that quite literally classifies them as “male victims of violence against women”.
A man picks up a hose, and he becomes a “firefighter”.
Whilst another man picks up a weapon and becomes a “knifeman”.
Why?
The fact is, men are the ones most likely to set the fire, but also, they are the ones risking their lives, kicking down your door, to drag you from the burning building.
This story is only half told.
We gender the ways in which men are privileged.
And then erase their gender, and ignore them entirely, when men and boys fall behind in health, education, at work, or on the streets.
So what has happened to our brave advocates of gender neutral language?
And is this not a breathtaking example of hypocrisy at its very worst?
What do you think?

@TheBritLad How retarded do you have to be, to actually believe that someone was arrested for “not selling halal meat”?
Only the most retarded of the retarded would believe that. And we’ve found those people here.
Bunch of absolute twats.
So happy to see my dear friend George @TheTinMenBlog made the Champions for Boys and Men list in the UK from @CPRMenBoys. If you don’t follow him already, follow!
