GQ Men Of The Year list sparks fury as OVER HALF honourees are female

GQ's Man Of The Year list has sparked outrage over the number of female honourees featured, with some deeming the choices 'disgraceful'.

I'm late to this party, but thanks for posting this. Made me laugh! How do you like them apples indeed.

They won’t care, protest and complaints from men about this will be almost aero I reckon. Question I have is why? Why are so many feminists upset about stuff like this but so many men aren’t?

True they probably don't care @Freddder but, no I think you are wrong, most feminists especially mothers of young men are well aware of the high suicide rates amongst men. However most men don't think about the amount of daily violence against women&girls, even fathers of daughters, unless that is it happens in their own backyard and even then it is soon forgotten!

Half the list are women you say, well that's fucking hilarious😂. Fury you say, well how do you like them apples men😂.

I honestly don’t think most men care who wins man of the year awards from some internet rag. If they did I think the politics around this would be rather different.

I think most men see this with the same importance as many feminists seem to see male interests such as the high rates of male suicide.

I think the feminists and millions of others will soon elect a Labour government who will support this.

What the buggery bollocks is Tom Daly wearing? He's not exactly playing to his strengths in that outfit.

Or as the Mail caption puts it:

"Fashionista: Tom Daley, 29, once again showcased his unique sense of style at the event"

Why no transwoman? Outrageous.

Because that would be misgendering to include them. 😉

HiddenLegoOuch · 17/11/2023 06:54

I wonder if the fact KK is eating Cheetos is relevant? 🤭🫣

Crankywiddershins · 17/11/2023 06:29

Women doing so well that they've managed to get onto the good boy list? It can only mean one thing... They are (and always have been you terfy, terven terfs) men!

EtiennePalmiere · 16/11/2023 22:18

I'm intrigued ! Is it masterful trolling or just incoherence ? Here I was thinking print magazines were completely irrelevant.

ArthurbellaScott · 16/11/2023 21:03

All your base are belong to us

PomegranateOfPersephone · 16/11/2023 21:03

So are we back to ye olden days when “man” meant a humanity in general rather than a person of the male sex specifically?

What a strange thing for a men’s magazine to do. Still if the idea is all publicity is good publicity…

PaleBlueMoonlight · 16/11/2023 20:51

nauticant · 16/11/2023 19:49

I assume it's just them trying to cause a controversy for publicity/clicks. It does seem to have worked, mind.

LondonLass91 · 16/11/2023 19:39

Who actually reads it anymore? I don't know one person, where do they get their revenue from I wonder. God, now I'll have to google it..

MorvernBlack · 16/11/2023 19:37

Hmm...Having read the list, not quite sure I get it🤷‍♀️

bombastix · 16/11/2023 19:36

Is Eddie Izzard on it?

Are they leopard print clown shoes?

MorvernBlack · 16/11/2023 19:34

I was sure the thread would be - Guess what? They are all men. But thats a surprise, the shoe is very much on the other foot Grin
I hope Asia Kate Dillon is on there, I like them.

I don't get it, they're not even transmen are they? Just ordinary women. So it's 'person of the year' then.

It says ‘female honourees’ i think

Quite 😁

PatatiPatatras · 16/11/2023 19:19

😂
I'm only surprised GQ got to half before vogue!

Rainbowshit · 16/11/2023 19:06

It's just getting silly. Why bother calling it man of the year list if you're just going to completely ignore the definition of the word man. 🙈
