Oh Man!

I've just received an update on the Women's Show, nothing there to really grab me, I prefer organic and holistic. But what's with all this gender stuff? Can you imagine the uproar if there was The Men's Show. Not boys toys or anything like that, all about empowering men. I really don't think I need ladies only insurance, in fact the only ladies only thing I agree with is a gym.
The gym or "lifestyle centre" allows those of us who look a little worn and podgy, as well as ladies of faiths that don't allow body parts to be shown off, to work out in private. As for the rest, please stop.
We have the black journalists forums - that surely goes in the face of freedom of the press.
Why are the sexes, faiths and races constantly being reminded of their perceived differences? Surely we are judged by what we do, not what we are (did someone else say that? it sounds familiar).
But maybe I take the whole thing too seriously and should just have a laugh as I try to imagine how sad life would be without men.

I agree with you, but perhaps they are just trying to politely say "men would be bored at this show!" Too many things emphasise differences and create walls between people at a time when we should be building bridges. Craig always gets annoyed with the Gay pride march and says if they can do that, why don't they have a heterosexual men's march?
