I've been disturbed for many years about anti-male propaganda in the media.
In adverts, white males are always represented as being buffoons, foolish, rude and incapable. We have terms such as 'man flu' which are bandied about in order to denigrate men who are most likely genuinely ill.
Yet all this time, men are expected to 'show the stiff uffer lip' - ridiculed for showing emotion, not allowed to express their inner spirituality and are mocked if they don't spend all their time outside of work either watching football or drinking beer.
And don't get me started on the propaganda that usually label men as potential paedophiles and rapists if they're not George Clooney lookalikes.
How have things come to this?
