Really? Is it just me who doesn't get the Daniel Craig drag thing?

James Bond. Hardly most enlightened character.

Dressing up as 'a woman' which as we all know involves long hair, lipstick, high heels and a dress Hmm.

So an ad for International Womens Day that doesn't actually feature any women (well, the voiceover - but no-one is mentioning that).

Confused

Thank you dittany, I'm okay here in the south, but that oil refinery has blown up near Tokyo and there is a death toll. I'm going to turn off the TV now Sad

Ds always used to pee sitting down (is that because he was with me?) and, in fact would squat on the loo(feet on the seat)! (and, yes, it means none on the floor, on the seat etc - aim is better...) However, now he pees standing up and I am sure he has learnt that from school and other boys.... so is peeing gendered too :)

I'm a bit scared to turn on the TV

Loads of men on MN pee sitting down - or rather partners of women on MN - there have been threads about it. Loads and loads. I have never met a bloke who peed sitting down but there you go!

How is everything over there Sakura, news here is pretty scant.

It's also a fact that men can pee sitting down: apparently henpecked Japanese men have to sit down so they don't sprinkle the floor! how emasculating Shock Google it

DD tried it from the top of next doors slide last summer, to copy their son. It didn't end well for her Grin

SardineQueen, It's a well-kept secret but women can actually pee standing up as well. You just have to be in the buff and preferably outside.

My DH says ".....er....ummmm....I can have sex with you with it?" and "actually it's annoying and gets trapped between your legs and gets hit when you play with the kids and you wake up in the morning with an uncomfortable boner..." The list goes on and on (he's still talking now!) Grin

So, to all those people who think as a feminist I actually have penis-envy, you couldn't be more wrong! If the only good thing about having one is that I get to have sex with myself, then I'm quite happy with my lovely, quiet, out of the way, well-behaved vagina, thank you very much!

LOL

I can't remember what Tiresias concluded...

SardineQueen · 10/03/2011 20:47

He says that as people have never had the parts of the other sex how can they know for sure whether one or the other is better?

But that he is very happy with his penis, thank you.

(He looks nervous whenever I look up from the MN feminist section to ask him a question!).

What is so great about having a penis anyway? Apart from being able to pee standing up?

Going to ask DH.

FlamingoBingo · 10/03/2011 20:39

That's fab!

Wish I was a man! Sad

This all reminds me of that monty python song from the meaning of life

Just to confirm (as if it needs saying) that I was joking Grin

FlamingoBingo · 10/03/2011 19:44

Sorry, Lenin - should have taken your advice long ago.

SardineQueen · 10/03/2011 19:42

I just actually lolled Grin

You are awful, streetwise. But I like you Grin

Looking forward to reading StreetWise's ideas to change the world to make it a better place for half the population for whom, at the moment, it's really quite a bit shit!

I hope he/she has all the answers and then we can stop moaning/trivialising/devaluing DC/rape/housework and live happily ever after.
