example here. (There are a few more you can get at from before the pay wall went up.)

I am so fed up with this bloody column. The other week there was one about why women are crap drivers. Then there was one which I fortunately missed which resulted in lots of letters to the editor which I guess must have been even more offensive.

They seem to have done a 'trouble with men' (here) once which of course was equally sexist and dim, but basically the column is low-level misogyny.

anyone else getting hugely annoyed by this, or just me?

WHY on Earth are you still buying this load of misogynist drivel? Why line Murdoch's pockets? He's a misogynist twonk.

I have to say, this column DOES MY HEAD IN!

I keep toying with the idea of sending in a mail entitled "the trouble with men" (I obviously missed the one week they had a TWM one!) and commenting that the trouble with men is that they really have LITTLE to trouble them if they think that their relationship issues can be resolved by their girlfriend paying more attention to her personal grooming (there was one week when the problem was not paying enough attention to your bikini line!) and the like.

But then I think that is simply reducing myself to the same level, so I am trying to rise above.

i definitely DO NOT read it anymore though, as I just end up roaring in annoyance at the paper!
