I just read today that zillions of complaints have made Sainsburys remove an advert for a frock because it said it was excellent for going for a walk or for wearing in the evening.

The complaints were based on the horrific thought that a company like Sainsbury's would encourage women to go out for a walk when it was clearly dangerous for a woman to be outside on her own.

Now this worries me on many levels, some it's an age thing ( why would anyone consider complaining about an advert for one)
But the culture of fear is ridiculous, who wants to bring their daughter up not to be confident enough to go outside?

I see girls in Hungary, walking home, late at night, street lighting nowhere near as bright as it is in the UK, and they haven't got a care in the world.

If you're walking behind them, you don't have to change your route or fall back because they're not scared of you.

At 52 I wouldn't really class myself as a girl. Actually I wouldn't class any of (the sadly departed) female posters on her as girls. A wifie, a woman, a lady, even (at a stretch) a quine. But not a girl.......and definitely never, ever a bitch.

Maybe says more about your general attitude to females than anything else. But then you do largely act like a silly wee boy so maybe I shouldn't read too much into it.

But I do apologise for jot being more obvious, and for not calling myself by my full first name. Maybe it should be mandatory to state our ***, gender identity, ***ual orientation....even ethnicity.....on our profiles. That way it would make it much easier for you to determine who to speak to in demeaning ways, and who to have a ladish rant and bants with.

And that's all it is, fear propaganda. Dreamt up by the right and peddled by the spoon fed.

Your lack of knowledge of the likes of Andrew Tate just show how out of touch you are with the world and the real dangers out there for modern youths.

Things change. The world is different to the one of your youth and young adulthood. It's different to the world of your parents who's attitudes you likely rolled your eyes at.. You might not like it but it's how life works. Things, people and attitudes change. It used to be 'ok' to enslave black people, to treat women as house wives, to demonise homo***uality. Thankfully we are making in roads in to eradicating such practices (still a way to go sadly), and allowing people to be themselves. I cant profess to understand everything going on today, but I do understand life is not black and white, and as long as people aren't doing others any harm you should leave them be, and even embrace the different. It makes for quite a nice varied life.

Be more Stewarty. I may not agree with his fears/concerns, but at least he can accept people living 'alternatice' lifestyles.
