Years ago (1980’s) I worked with a woman whose husband took all of her salary from her and gave her a small ‘allowance’ back. If that ran out she had to ask him to buy whatever she needed. Quite unbelievable.

As a man I respect and like independent women, and for that matter independent men. I like people who are self directed, accountable and responsible.

I don’t respect or like bolshy, shouty, “me me me “, simpering, narcissistic, vacuous, untruthful, unkind or manipulative women. Same goes for men.

Man or woman, doesn’t matter. Its what one is as a person that matters. As stencilface says “be a nice human”

Embrace the differences between each gender and each gender’s strengths and weaknesses. I have lady friends across the spectrum – from very capable farmers, surgeons, nurses to models and dancers, I don’t think less of a woman if she chooses to work with a set of brushes rather than a socket set.

If folk think these men were bad, they should try crossing paths in a factory with a predominantly women only assembly line etc..

@emma I have thanks, many times, from the age of 16 to 24 and managed not to get groped, harassed, cat-called, grabbed or intimidated once.

Does every real case of sexual harassment of women have to be compared to a hypothetical case of sexual harassment of a man at the moment? It’s getting quite tiresome. If men are truly being terrorised as you suggest then we need to start reporting it to the police. I’ve never been assaulted or harassed by a woman or women and no male friends have told me they have, whereas I haven’t spoken to a female friend about this who *hasn’t* been.

My partner had her second hip replacement 4 weeks ago. Given walking sticks by discharge nurse. When asked about returning them she was told that they don’t want them back, they are single use items.

I’m a middle aged man. I drove company vans around London in my younger days and took pride in my ability to park in tiny spaces without any assistance from people or gadgets. Never bashed one parking.
I’ve just spent a lot of money on a LWB VW campervan. The very first time I took it out of my driveway I backed into my wheelie bin and broke a rear light. I could really have done with a middle aged woman to help me reverse, but she was out at work.

Hope that makes you feel better ;D
