A woman, complaining men look bad as they age?!

Glass houses...and trebuchets!

The article mentions Liz Hodgkinson, a woman who apparently went on a "sex strike" and got her husband to publicly support her.

Here's her picture. If I was her husband I'd tell her, "Bring on the Strike!!"

She has had some rather delicate plastic surgery performed and she mentioned, "These days, I get propositioned and ogled wherever I go – something that hasn’t happened to me for years, decades even. People have started looking at me as though I’m a celebrity, which I probably am – in appearance at least."

Err... Seriously?

But in all seriousness I know way too many fat, nasty looking older women who think that their "beauty" far surpasses that of the young 20 something girls who they so desperately wish to look like again. Plastic surgery, cosmetics, expensive salon treatments, etc, etc, etc - they're all trying to regain the beauty of their youth (if they even had it in the first place). I see it day in and day out.

These feminists may say they want to be noticed for their brains but their actions tell a different story.

Advice from an old man to young men

Article was a good read and has some hilarious quotes:

She’s been to a garden party and the men just “went round with bottles of wine in their hands ... filling glasses and saying nothing. They might as well not have been there at all.” ... Some chap, who probably felt completely excluded and ignored by the women, but all the same felt it a mere gesture of politeness to make sure the ratbags got their booze.

It's a bad idea to have sex with Paul Newman at this point.

I read the first three paragraphs and still have no idea what the article is about...
