To think porridge is a man breakfast.

[moogy1a]

DH insists all breakfast cereals are girly food.
I suggested porridge as an alternative cos I consider that a manly food ( I don't know why, maybe it conjures up images of hardy Scotsmen).
Anyway, he disagrees and thinks it's as girly as fruit and fibre or special K.
Opinions? or am I being odd to think of breakfast in these terms? It's only cereals that I divide along gender lines btw before I get accused of agreeing with the Muller yoghurt ridiculousness and I always have porridge!

I eat porridge every morning but I girlify it with strawberries and blueberries.

What does he eat for breakfast?

Porridge, cereal, it's all for everyone!

I wouldn't like to tell this guy that it's for girls....

Who knew cereal had a gender

Me and OH both eat porridge I love chocolate ready brek :o

Actually, wasn't there a thread the other day about Muller and their Boys' yogurts and Girls' yogurts??

That's just what I was thinking mawbroon - the braw laddie on the Scott's box doesn't look remotely girly!

Let him eat quiche!

Girl breakfast ?
Man breakfast ?

Manfood = An animal died.

Ooh, porridge! Let's go skipping in this field of grass type stuff and pick grains! Then let's go molest that cow over there for some liquid. Then we can cook it in pots and spurtle in it! Woman food.

I'll spurtle in you, TiggyD.

Ah, but in French, meat (la viande) is feminine, and French milk (le lait) is masculine!

However, oats (l'avoine) are female, so presumably eating porridge is actually a heterocentic celebration of the physical act of luuurve?

I may have regressed to sixth form, by the look of it: I'm using long words I can't spell!

Op why do you care? Sorry but this is weird!

Two words.

Shredded wheat.

IIRC only real men can eat two... (cant remember the exact wording).

I'm wrong! It was to do with not being to eat three

And the adverts featured people like Brian Clough and Ian Botham.

I would recommend not standing on crumpets. You'll have a devil of a job getting the butter stains out of the carpet.

DH just looked at me disdainfully & rolled over when I snorted with mirth at this.

Agree with above posters. Tell your DH, if porridge is too girly, you expect to see him hunting his own breakfast from now on. Or at the very least, farming it.

Erm, yes YABU. Of all the bizarre things to be genderised, porridge has to be up there amongst them.

But then your DP sounds idiotic too. If he doesn't want to eat a certain food because of its gender connotations it sounds a bit like he's been brainwashed by an ad or ads he's seen on tv.

YABU. Your husband sounds dreadful.

Tell him oats make his penis grow bigger. Almost imperceptibly but after a lifetime of it he'll have to wear a kilt because no trousers will fit!

Steak is neuter is German- Does that help?
