Apparently Glamour decided this year to run a "Man of the year" category in the "Woman of the year" awards Confused

I can't decide if it's a necessary step to try to raise more publicity after last year's Caitlyn Jenner award, or if they are just idiots.

Here's an inspirational quote
Bono said in a statement Tuesday from Glamour that the battle for gender equality won’t be won unless men step up and lead alongside women.

Fucking idiots.
Bono is not going to win any feminist awards, I'd be zapped for saying why but people in Dublin know different!

I think his wife had the right response with "Eh? I still think you have some work to do"

Glamour Editor: prize twat

Felas - the "inspirational quote immediately put me in mind of this:
Man finally put in charge of struggling feminist movement. (I thought Bono had plumbed the depths of self-parody many years ago, but apparently there were speleological depths he hadn't explored yet!)

A load of old bollocks.

Literally.

Oh what a joke. His statement there is infuriating.

FrancesHaHa · 01/11/2016 21:04

What?

What we're Glamour thinking deciding to give a Woman of the Year Award to a tax avoiding man?

Twogoats · 01/11/2016 21:01

They might as well give it to Donald Trump for all it's worth now!

Saw this not long ago and honestly, I just laughed. It's funny. They're insane.

Of course it's not really that funny as it's going to come back to bite them and all the rest of us in the arse. But the idiocy is so bewildering that it's funny.

Shame on Glamour and shame on Bono, imaging how insufferable he's going to be now. He's been a pretentious prat for years and indulging him like this will only make matters worse.

Just saw this on Facebook. What the actual blue fuck is going on? Caitlin Jenner was bad enough, now this utter plum who is many things, but a woman ain't one of them. Dear lord

I didn't think it was possible for him to be more irritating. Obviously I was wrong.

I'm going with B. - idiots.
