I remember the New Man craze of the late eighties/early nineties...that's when the "in" thing was for men to proclaim that they had a feminine side that they were in touch with (as opposed to,say, their neighbours wife
)
They enjoyed shopping, cried during films, changed the babies nappies/diapers, used moisturiser and colour co-ordinated their designer clothes
It was also considered very "passe" to go to nightclubs to chat up the women ("don't treat us like cattle and stuff like that" )...Pretty soon chatting women up was out altogether...so the men all buggered of to Ten Pin Bowlling and Ice Hockey matches of a weekend evening
leaving the women to themselves..chanting Cyndi Laupers "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" into their bacardi breezers and kebabs....making a siesmic change from Gloria Gaynors "I Will Survive", seeing as the song didn't make much sense on a dancefloor entirely berefit of the Hairy Smelly Ones
The end result of this was the backlash rise of the Laddette Culture that proclaimed that women drank beer by the pintload...for breakfast, did'nt mind "getting them out for the lads", actually liked one-night-stands and thought that "Moisturiser Man" replete with fashionable ponytale was a pretentious turn-off.... :blush..championed by the likes of Ulrika Jonson, Zoe Ball, Denise Van Outen et.al.
...Which in turn led to the emergence of the Lad Culture..flanked by Lads Mags on one side and t.v. programs like "Men Behaving Badly"(the most well known but by no means the only one of the genre)helped along by the Dion of Lads...Footballer Paul Gasgoine and his rubber boobs waistcoat.
Yep the O.P. scenario once happened to the women...and they didn't like it then
and I don't think that PussyPower carries a mandate on behalf of ALL WOMEN everywhere to deprive the fairer sex of their greatest reason to have a good moan...in more than one sense

having absolutely bugger-all money helps..along with no-social-standing-of-any-kind, a really ..erm...average sized fully autonomised willy in placing me in an ideal position to judge
