Buying a pair of cargo pants as it's too cold for shorts (sorry Rob) , too hot for jeans, and discovering some weird toggle based method for tying them that I have no idea how to use.

Too cold for shorts?

The storyline in Eastenders with Whitney leaving.

Essentially a woman has just decided on a whim to up sticks and take a newborn baby away from her father without consulting him and live 200 miles away.
Everyone claps and cheers at the woman doing this. No one has a problem with it.
This is normal.

If the father had made this decision, it would be ran as a kidnapping storyline.

Why is this acceptable?

And she did this just weeks after illegally buying another child off its smackhead mother and taking her with her too.

Soapland is utterly ridiculous and absurd.

What started out as a rather refreshing success story seems to have become a boring, cocky, mouthy dickhead.

because men are bastards and women and kids don't need us, seems to be the shite they fucking spout.

When lab-grown sperm becomes commercial, men will be obsolete. I try to make myself useful by putting bottle tops and jar lids back on too tightly.

They say this, but who will do all the jobs millions of men do? Are millions of women suddenly going to want to be miners, deep sea fisherwomen, truck mechanics, aircraft mechanics, pilots, HGV drivers, taxi drivers, builders, work in slaughterhouses etc etc - the world would fall apart in a week if men suddenly disappeared. (And yes, before anyone starts, it'd be shite without women too)

[Millie]

What was women's role in World War II?
Women in World War II
Millions of women did work in shipyards and factories during World War II. They labored as welders, machinists, and (of course) riveters. Women also drove trucks, cleaned houses, flew planes, organized fundraisers, treated patients, grew crops, broke codes, and took care of children.

What were 3 jobs women did in ww2?
During WWII women worked in factories producing munitions, building ships, aeroplanes, in the auxiliary services as air-raid wardens, fire officers and evacuation officers, as drivers of fire engines, trains and trams, as conductors and as nurses.

Maybe if the men didn't hog all those jobs or make it impossible for women to break into them we'd probably do very well at them.

Robots.

We may be kept around to laugh at?

Off-topic-ish:

There was a meme on social media about "who would you rather encounter, alone, in the middle of a forest: a man or a bear?" and most women chose the Bear. Some men (boys?) were replying with things like "what? You'd rather fuck a bear" without realising that sort of attitude (no-one mentioned sex in the Q) is one of the reasons they chose the Bear.

If women want the jobs, they can go get them, HGV driving is open to everyone - not many like the idea of sleeping in a cab in a layby and pissing in the bushes or shitting in a carrier bag though.

Sounds like a holiday in Rhyl.

I'm not trying to belittle women, I know you are very capable of doing the jobs, but would women CHOOSE to do them? During the war they had no choice but to do them,as the men who were doing the jobs before we busy dying and after the war the opportunites were no longer there, but in this day and age, these jobs are open to everyone, but how many would do them now?

I'm just sick to death to be honest of hearing from women "we don't need men".

[SamLad]

That Eastenders storyline is a natural progression of the trend to glorify all unmarried mothers. 

In my lifetime it's done a 180 in terms of public attitude - once regarded as shameful, to now looked upon as a brave lifestyle to be celebrated and encouraged.

Like everything else it's a complex subject but it looks like the Eastenders writers want to push the envelope in terms of what "acceptable parenting" looks like.

Maybe if we only needed to worry about the bears and not men we'd be ok sleeping in a cab in a layby 😊

There's women predators too you know.

Even in a safe world, its bloody hard to get a decent kip in a cab, traffic noise, birdds bouncing on the roof, getting up and pissing in the bushes, nowhere to have a wash, its lovely

As has been said, he’s a Utd fan so it should come as no surprise he’s like that.
I always find the moment I find out so called celebs or actors,actresses,singers ,sports stars ,newsreaders etc support Utd I instantly dislike or in some cases hate them .
I not into golf but I remember Rory mcillroy winning some tournament I was thinking ,well done young man .he was unheard of to most people then and being interviewed he was asked what he was going to do with the prize money “.oh I’m going to get a season ticket at old Trafford “ …I wished him nowt but bad luck ever since .
But don’t get me started on eamon fucking holmes …Utd fan ,arrogance , ignorance and all round piece of shit

Foxes have been forcing my food one open despite the handle being in the locked position. Eating half of the contents on the front drive leaving the rest strewn all over the shop. Then taking a shit next to it in a final 'fuck you' message.
