We hear very little from a man's point of view, do we even have a 'Man's Day' or a Man's Minister?

Re Minister for Men, often broached - a few comments here made me smile.

You could always appeal to the Government to stand though.

I don't think that there should be a 'Minister for Women'. Not so long ago women were made to feel that there were many things that we would be unable to do career-wise.

Things change - some slowly and some quickly. Men may be physically stronger than women but women tend to be tougher and more resilient. But that is all a generalisation - everybody is different.

Many women (me for a start) have no desire to settle down and have children, this is good because I would have made a terrible mother. There is no longer so much external pressure to conform.

There are now an increasing amount of Crazy Cat Men to add to the ranks of all the Crazy Cat Ladies. Equal opportunities.

Well, it sure is more harder and difficult for a woman on AB to get a word in. This is largely due to the words being lost among the banks of text of Mr Andy Hughes! ;)

Worldwide, women and girls still have a much harder time than males, as you can see from your own link, AOG.

[anotheoldgit]

Cloverjo

Yes but that is the whole point, would you ever see such a link on men's lives?

[THECORBYLOON]

Could the absence of a similar report in relation to men be because we do not suffer the same disadvantages?

[anotheoldgit]

Also set up by a woman Lizzie Dearden so she's bound to be to be bias.

[THECORBYLOON]

SVEJK anyone can report an answer or a thread but the removal is outwith our control.

[Cloverjo]

Yes, corbyloon.

[agchristie]

Ah ladies but deep down we really know the truth don't we?! Quality rather than quantity....

The Queen, Maggie Thatcher, Marie Curie, Beyonce, Adele, Jessica Ennis, Julia Hartley-Brewer, oh and our very own Naomi!

As the commentator ends 'you boys took one hell of a beating'!! x

[Peter Pedant]

no of course it isnt !
if you say it isnt then it isnt - simples ...
but you knew the answer to that when you posted didnt you you little tinker

[Cloverjo]

^^ my response was to corbyloon's previous answer.

[Mamyalynne]

Crikey, Svejk - have you inside knowledge of who and how threads are removed?


It would take someone to write the article about the disadvantages of being a man in order for one to be published.

I will add I feel there are many drawbacks in this modern age for men to face , very different ones to those that affect women.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Minister for men isnt that about as likely as a White Police Officers Association - can you imagine the outcry from the BBC et al

[Mamyalynne]

Has anyone ever tried to set one up C@C? I've often wondered as it gets mentioned a lot.

[Peter Pedant]

// Not sure there's any point answering when people like mikey can get threads removed.//

heark at Mr Gru,py !

I am sure ( ha ! ) later in the day you will state categorically that there is every point in answering - in order for example to educate and inform people

[Svejk]

You obviously missed mikey's thread, thanking the ABed, mamya.

[Mamyalynne]

I didn't.
