Oh, teh poor menz!

I really don't feel up to doing a full takedown of this article from the Daily Mail (Hell, the Mail is such a vile newspaper anyway I was barely able to follow the link that pointed to it).

Just 3 observations:

  1. Men are marrying later. Therefore, we have to learn how to do housework for ourselves these days (at least to some degree!). We're not going straight from "mother" to "wife" as primary carer these days, we have to learn to look after ourselves anyway.
  2. "Natural manly instincts"? Cos, of course, in the Stone Age, all the women were there with archaeopteryx-feather dusters sweeping up the caves, right? It's just natural and instinctive, right? Right?
  3. Seems to me, the only person who's emasculating men here is the person who says that our identity and gender is threatened by the idea of maybe helping out around the home!

I'm done here. Someone else can do a proper analysis if they feel up to it.

2 things wot people said:

  1. Dude, you could devote an entire blog to fisking the Daily Mail!

  2. So true re: fisking Daily Mail!

    Very excited about the NFL starting up again soon - just this week I forked out for the "Game Pass" online TV coverage.

This blog is intended to be a place where I can develop my thoughts freely and get free and honest responses. Essentially, it is my safe space, and for that reason I have elected to maintain this blog as a moderated space. However, I am opposed in general to censorship and believe that usually the best way to kill a bad idea is with a better one, so very few comments will be rejected. Comments designed to cause offence for the sake of it (e.g. abusive or inflammatory remarks with no other content), or else those that I feel cross a boundary of human decency, are most likely to be rejected.
