A tale of misogyny, sexism and the different ways men respond

‘Nah, problem solved,’ Phil says. ‘Deano just has to stop being so sensitive and a little more selective with his media consumption.’

‘Yeah, that’s right. If I follow Phil’s advice, I can’t go on the Internet, listen to the radio or buy petrol. And we haven’t even talked about TV yet.’

Before she’s taken two steps away from the table, Phil speaks again. ‘Ooohh,’ he moans. ‘Have a look at that arse. If I was a younger man, I would take a piece of that.’

Dean is speechless. He sees the waitress flinch as she walks out of earshot.

‘Right, then,’ Simon says. ‘Who wants another drink?’

Thank you.

Typical day for many women and a day some women would hope to achieve because they are currently not allowed out.
