"27. ‘Not cleaning properly. It’s not attractive to taste urine.’"

Well guess what it ain't attractive to taste fish either (unless it's on my dinner plate).

Again imagine the genders reversed and there was a pic of a man putting his foot in a woman's face. There would be an outroar and a flood of complaints if that was the case.

"Why do men sometimes get it so wrong?"

Or to put it another way, why do women have such high expectations and expect men to be perfect in bed?

It all depends on perspective.

And the picture has a woman putting her foot in a man's face. I bet you chuckled at that and thought "you go girl!" to yourself when you saw that

I think the article is intended for a female audience so they can read it and titter about men having "smelly sacks" and the other crap in the article.

"Do you have a daughter, mazupan?"

Why do you ask? And why do you only want to know if I have a daughter and not any sons?

Enough women are anally penetrated without consent that it makes it onto a "top 21 things women don't like in bed" list, and your response is "well, no one would care if men were complaining about being anally penetrated would they?"

A litany of instances of sexual assault (because that's what a lot of those are) gets published as a lighthearted "hey, guys, check out this list of cer-aazzy things that APPARENTLY women don't like" piece, rather than a "WTF is wrong with our basic notions of sexual consent that these are the kind of things we get in response to a 'tell us what bugs you about your partner' prompt?" article, and all you can say is "well, you wouldn't like it if I complained about things women do in bed"?

It is frankly terrifying that this kind of behaviour is normalised now, in 2014. What on earth is happening to us as a society?

TereseaGreen · 06/05/2014 17:44

Mazupan Where do you get the impression that the metro "article" is a Feminist one? It appears to have been collated from a poll on Facebook. It's a terrible article agreed but I am interested in what makes it Feminist?

mazupan · 06/05/2014 17:38

"7. ‘When you give them a blow job and they start f***g your face as if you don’t have a gag reflex. How about I’m sick all over your penis?’"

Farting in your face??? wow that certainly would make one sick

mazupan · 06/05/2014 17:34

I just skimmed through that metro article, but the point of it seemed to be a feminist man-bashing article trying to make men out to be disgusting pigs who don't wash etc etc

If a man wrote an article making a list about women which included things like women's vaginas smelling of rotten fish etc etc he would prob be fired.

btw both genders can be victims or perps of sexual assault.

I saw on twitter that the Metro were doing a request for similar 'hilarious' scenarios on things Women do in Bed...

Wonder if that article will be as disturbing.

It's also very unusual for me to boycott a shop on the basis of one product. But this is so egregiously awful that I will be doing just that from now on.

Women must be their core customers. Are they stupid? Do they think we are stupid?

  1. ‘Eating fried chicken before a blow job. Pretty much the worst taste imaginable.’

Not sure I get this one, how does eating fried chicken make ones penis taste bad??

I never heard of this until I saw this post. I want to buy one!

KittyandTeal · 06/05/2014 14:28

Could MN start selling the opposite awful, stereotypical man version 'wank sock'. Because if all women are nags then all men are sex pests.
