Men not doing anything helpful until they get equal rights

[seabeyond]

Activists in the burgeoning 'masculinist' movement are demanding an end to such matriarchal oppression as women getting free entry to shit nightclubs 'B4 11'. In the meantime, they aren't doing any chores. Masculinist Tom Logan said: "If I want to go to my local nightclub Chico's to hear commercial dance, r'n'b and 'club classics', as a man I am forced to pay £5. Not so for women. They can stroll right in, the bouncer will even hold the door open and give them an admiring look.

"There's no way I'm putting the bins out or doing any washing up until that sort of thing stops. I'm staying right here on the sofa, sticking it to the oppressor."

Father-of-two Stephen Malley said: "I'm prepared to ignore my wife's pleas for help with the bins until men stop being used as comic foils in washing powder adverts and stuff like that. "I'm not moving from this chair until she and I are equal in the eyes of society. Well possibly for sex, but otherwise no way."

1. women fight for the right to control their own bodies, preserve their own lives, right to work

and earn equal pay for equal work... This group fights to end nightclub specials? Good gawd.

3. There are legitimate men's issues. But this isn't one of them

Nor would I ever advocate or endorse withholding support for women's rights issues in this kind of petty tit-for-tat fashion.

5. This seems like an Onion-type website.

It's all tongue in cheek stuff.

6. Yep. The Daily Mash is a UK equivalent of the Onion

and should be given as much weight.

4. "Well possibly for sex, but otherwise no way."

8. it's a dry cold

-- I mean humour.

We Canadians and Brits can be so misunderstood.

(Also, for info, the Daily Mail is the target of the Daily Mash's title, and it's the sort of rag that would think this a perfectly legitimate protest over a glaring example of mistreatment of men. Not that I think free admission for women is defensible or is anything but using women as bait to extract money from men ...)
