Those slaggy women who talk to at least four men in one night! Some of them have even taken their coat off!

Ed Balls pranged another car and drove off, no note or anyfink. At least when the previous Labour government spent all the money, they left a note saying: 'Ha, ha, we spent all the money'.
I think he should be in the news more just so I can make up juvenile headlines: 'Balls dented my car!' or 'Balls suspected in hit and run'.
They have brought Godwin's law to life.
Psychopaths.
It was one note, put up by who knows possibly some disaffected fool, made excited about events.
It's worth noting that both sides have extensively called the other side nazis.
It's such a cheapened term.

A town in France has got rid of the term 'mademoiselle' and from now on, every woman is to be 'madame'. Not that big a deal, but might be a bit weird to refer to a 7 year old girl as 'Madame Brochard' or whatever.
Increasingly, the use of personal titles that indicate gender are on the decline...because nobody wants to be a chick...because people don't want to be pre-judged based on their gender or they're one of these weird trannies that doesn't know what it is.
If you think this level of mystery is a pain in the arse in business dealings and that you don't really care what gender they are, you just want to know so you can address them properly. Here is a handy pro-tip to guide you through the mire of this nonsensical identity hiding bullshit.
If you receive an email and it's signed 'Yours sincerely, J. Nobbins', then it's a chick. Men don't sign off their emails with a single initial, they write out their name.

I wonder what men would do if convention dictated they had to reveal their marital status in their name?
I don't see it's a big issue that France wants change; Germany stopped using the word "Fraulein" to address adult women in 1972.
When Marlene Dietrich died?
As it's Good Friday, here are a load of news stories with a sexist bent -
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-27062577
Female MPs are staying away from Prime Minister's Question Time because the men are all shouty and mean.

Delta Airlines in the US is in trouble after telling a woman she couldn't breastfeed her child on a flight unless she had a cover. Yep, you can't smoke but you can get your tits out and squirt boob juice all over the seats.

What politicians wear has a bearing on how voters perceive them. Lady MPs get a rougher time then the blokes. Notice the lack of a picture in this article when discussing Jacqui Smith's cleavage. Nice job BBC sexists.
Enjoy!

Considering how we're constantly labelled both consciously and subconsciously as potential murders, rapists and paedophiles, revealing our marital status in our titles wouldn't be that big a deal to most blokes.
Vroom vroom there goes the RCP windup machine.
nb it's delightful that people think PMQs is anything more than an entertaining bit of political theatre. It's more like a gong show for,
(wait for obvious gag)
PROFESSIONAL COMEDIANS!!!!

RCP you really need to ditch that label gun

More like the BBC wind up machine. I didn't invent and write these articles, but there they were, all hanging out on the BBC news website today.
Are you saying I shouldn't highlight these stories of sexist injustice and bring them to the attention of the BCG?
Are there any other topics I should remain silent about?
Merely how you present them.
Like a cheeky tomcat with a beheaded baby robin on the breakfast table.

As a bicycle riding, vegetarian, homosexual, feminist, atheist, socialist, I hate it when people use labels to describe others.
