A very silly tone of voice from YM or MILF as they used to be known

I know the OP is just a wind-up, but I've been growing increasingly sick of this "yummy mummy" crap for a while now... reading between the lines, there's an implication that once a woman has had children, she should start dressing in frumpy clothes and abandon her social life.

> I'm a 'Guardian-style-feminist' quite proudly. Why does that preclude intelligent debate?


Frankly, it's the sexist hypocrisy of the Guardian that irks me. Why would you want to publically align yourself with that? The Daily Mail and the Gruin are, opinion article-wise, the same newspaper.


The Gruin's outstanding journalism is generally seriously let down by its awful op-eds.

I'm a feminist. You mentioned the Guardian, and I have no particular issue with its stance on feminist issues in general.


You're ignoring the question of what sort of intelligent debate this question can engender. What's the difference between a facile, misogynistic generalisation, and an outright insult?

Abject sexism of guardian op eds?


I'm sure you can provide links loz


"It's view of men and women is pretty appalling."


They publish Julie bindel and Tanya gold so I'm never going to agree with them. But in comparison to the weirdness do the DM they are as nothing. They are columnists who live and die by their opinions. Not the same as rank and file churnalism rife at the mail


Is there a guardian equivalent to this?

Woman? With beauty? And brains? Brains because she reads a newspaper???

StraferJack's definition sounds about right- both these terms and various others are the modern day equivalent of a chastity belt.

But just to confuse the issue, if the lady in question does not do what the man wants she is then classified as 'frigid'.

And...the ridiculous footwear that women are expected to wear in order to look 'fashionable' is the modern day equivalent of foot-binding!

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.   Stuff like this heavy endorsement of Momentum and Corbyn. It doesn't wash with a party that is in actual government.   https://labourlist.org/2020/04/forward-momentum-weve-launched-to-change-it-from-the-bottom-up/
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
