Weekend Woman's hour (BBC Radio 4, UK only) discuss double standards in the media with how women talk about men (basically sexist and in reverse would provoke an outcry)

Piece starts 11m 04s in.

Interestingly, unlike reddit, most of the feminist there did denounce misandry and said it was beneath them. Hopefully this indicates that feminism on reddit is an insane, fringes movement, and not actually reprsentative of how feminism has evolved.

They cover how when Matt Hancock was fired, for having an affair with an assistant, most female commentators where amazed she was with him and that he was "punching above his weight". Had it been the other way around, there would've been an outcry.

There's more female content and there are more female content being told... I think that's wonderful... we've exhausted the male stories... it's still a novelty

That's a person who cares about classes, that's just classism.

We are hearing more women's stories and for you, and for men, that's quite new, you are not used to us, I mean your eyes are not used to us.

Come on... really? that's like she feels men are aliens, as if men and women haven't been living together literally since ever.

— I think the reason men are getting left out is because the stories being written by women writers tend to be about women's issues

— We haven't been able to talk about them before

— Well, you can argue this, [ I don't understand ], they aren't solely about men, they are universal stories we can all relate to. If you start writing specifically about women's actual experiences then you are talking to half the population, men might be interested in them but you are not really talking to them in a asdfdheheehhhhh....

— [Angrily] Sorry, Why does drama generally have to talk specifically to you, why aren't you interested in women's stories!

And I, as a man living in the UK, have to pay for this shit.

Scrap the BBC.
