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.

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!

    • As I said, it was my understanding. I worded it very carefully. I didn't/don't know for sure, so clearly not a fact. And hardly an "opinion", which is something completely different. You have no idea what reason anybody might have had for not voting for him (unless you can point to some opinion poll results which actually asked people?)
    • Also, just to add, the threat to kill someone's dog and try to kick it, is an additional extremely unpleasant layer. I have noticed a lot of the burst water balloons lying around in the park too- that is not great for the environment either.
    • I’m basing it on the fact that Jeremy Corbyn had repeatedly and on record said he is against mandatory vaccinations in any situation, and he wouldn’t disclose wether he had the Covid vaccine himself    as I said. Not as bad as his brother but very definitely a bit weird about the whole thing. Just say you had the vaccination Jeremy, say that everyone should and stop being weird in the middle of a global pandemic    it’s the same slippery evasive nonsense about Brexit and him. About Putin poisonings and him.     if you are happy with his evasiveness then you do you.  But there is a reason the country wouldn’t get behind him
