Men not doing anything helpful until they get equal rights [View all]

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."
