    Apologies for the pay wall but you'll get the gist of the article...
    Maybe Jess Phillips should have googled the 6 pillars of International Mens Day. One of them is to improve gender relations and promote gender equality.

    Is that why you had the operation?

    Cue lots of quickly deleted or altered tweets.

    Simply walking or running around around with a prominent lunch box isn't a crime. \However that's why male runners/cyclists wear baggy shorts over their tights/leggings.
    And that's why one doesn't often see nude ballet dancers!

    As choreographer Frederick Ashton pointed out "The problem with nude ballet dancing is that when the dancers stop, not all of them stops at the same time!"

    The men in leggings/tights don't have to hide they just choose to.

    But don't worry, nobody can see your tiny bulge.
    Yep I'm sure you are a bigger dick than me!

    Ah, stop your unsubtle trolling. Don't you know there's a war on? You could be put up against a wall and shot for bringing down morale. Go and have a shandy. It'll make you feel better.

    JK Rowling suggests that Labour would like to rename it: "We Who Must Not Be Named Day".
    I was merely asking the forum's "Instant Expert - Just add boiling water" what it was that she felt was an inequality that needed to be addressed that hasn't been already addressed.

    As for bringing down morale, you should look a little closer to home.
