Daily Male, women bashing yet again, so men are incapable of picking up a vacuume or a duster then! What with JSP comments about women past 20 not wearing bikinis. I used to like the DM, after reading this and a couple of others, I know why you all hate it.

bike I used to like DM, this article just put me off. And the men posting awful comments. Hope they don't have daughters themselves. I would like to see them in all their wonderful supermodel glory.

That's the women for you, all substandard in many key respects.

The DM should totally start using this as their new strapline.

Quite frankly those ugly fat fuckers need a face transplant with a proper good looking man as well as a diet. I dunno about housework.

MacaronAtFivePm · 27/08/2015 12:54

I wonder if HE does housework Grin Actually I wouldn't care.

Even if there is a grain if truth in this where's the article on why men are fat?
Should they all be out growing veg, logging, tending animals, working manual jobs etc.
Yep. That's pretty much the case. We've evolved to be a healthy weight on available food living an active life. Now food is much more readily available and historically cheaper than it's ever been and we live sedentary lives, we're fat.
Look at any timeline of monarchs through the ages and it's striking how fat how many of them are. We're all living like kings now.

Why are you moaning about the DM? Don't bloody read it if you don't like it which you obviously do, like the majority on here The article tells the truth about housework burning cals. Men were never kept slim through housework but women certainly were. Now we just slob about at work stuck behind desks eating mindlessly .

RedToothBrush · 27/08/2015 13:13

Why are men fatter than 20 years ago then?

Just wondering like.

Seriouslyffs · 27/08/2015 13:18

Because they're more likely to drive to work, to do a sedentary job, live in a house with central heating, watch more TV, eat between meals, not eat 3 square meals sitting down, drink more..,
See if you can think if some differences too!!Wink

The headline is different from the article. And it actually says that nen have no excuse as they do more.

The gist of the article is that women used to be more active across the day before washing machines etc. house work burnt more calories.

Lots of people now have jobs where they don't move much either.

Aeroflotgirl · 27/08/2015 14:17

Must be the same as why women are larger, fast food, not very much exercise.

Sorry posted too soon.

The article is really saying that women used to be more active because housework was more manual. Now they don't move as much. Even though men do more housework now than before, it's still not labour intensive.

But that goes for everybody. We are less active than previous generations.

It's nothing new.

Quite right. Excuse my while I ignore my untidy house and take my fat and lazy arse off to bed for a nap.

Lweji · 27/08/2015 14:21

It works for men too. (Ex)

Except I'm skinny and do the bare minimum housework.

Also first born.

Hissy · 27/08/2015 14:22

erm, question.. why the fuck does anyone read this shit? or stupidly click on DM links

goldglittershitter · 27/08/2015 14:25

It's true in my case Smile .

beardsrock · 27/08/2015 14:26

Gotta love the DM!

I need to go back to the Guardian, i really do... But I do love a bit of trash in a morning.

beardsrock · 27/08/2015 14:27

Does Neil Tweedie count as AIBU crush?

flotillas70 · 27/08/2015 16:11
