colleagues is an example of the next battlefield in the feminist cause?

The translunacy maniacs can still raise an eyebrow from time to time.

I'd say they've overplayed their hand this year; so much utter, utter nonsense has been printed on the pages of the Guardian that we've all become a little inured to it.

They need a new schtick. There must be another massively downtrodden community on whose behalf the patriarchy need a good kicking.

Midgets?

US identity politics merry-go-round and blatant nonsense. More importantly, it misspells 'labour' in the title, so I'm f**ked if I'm reading it.

about how little it understood about the nature of being male and how it couldn't work out the 'rules'. This to me did seem to rather undermine the whole claim to be a man, but there you go.

Also, did you know Laurie Penny is now declaring herself 'genderqueer'?

No, I've no idea what it means either, but she does love a bandwagon that girl.

There's a certain type of woman - late 20s, middle class, intellectual-ish, insecure - that believe they're fighting some sort of feminist battle against "The Patriarchy" and that by displaying just how painfully PC she is, she's somehow making a difference in the imaginary war.

First wave feminists have done this before, they've made the arguments, made a difference, changed attitudes, grown old and got bored of this petty stuff.

Laurie Penny is just copying Jack Monroe now, surely?

The scary thing is that these people are adults. I mean, if they were 14 year old girls you could pat them on the head and suggest they go and play, in the knowledge that eventually, they'll grow up. But these lunatics desperate to join the cool gang and chop their tits off are adults, for Christ's sake.

And employed. Many of them are considered employable :-(

These people arent doing that though, they're fighting battles which have been fought and won before.

Anyway, I'm so over Jeremy Corbyn, his bow was around 15 degrees short of respectable. People died for his freedom to bow and now he's thrown it back in their face. He might as well have held a muslim prayer meeting on the cenotaph.

Just as I get my head around one absurd idea, a new one comes along. One wonders what our descendants will make of it all.

Men will get to puberty, be milked for their sperm for a few weeks and then they will be castrated and made "Fempositive"

between our generations and our children that hasn't existed for 50 years. And it will mostly have come about because of the advent of the rigid orthodoxies in terms of hypersensitivity to language and ideas. Basically, we're going to be like the casually racist old people at whom our parents used to roll their eyes.

I think they will probably just kill us all tbh. They seem like utterly humourless fascists, for certain.

Mind you, she was Irish. They've only found out the n-bomb is a problem in the last 20 years, really.
