To wonder if the stripper was a girl and the resident a man... this would be weird?

So an 89year old woman requested a man with a big chest and biceps for Christmas. And a stripper was invited into the care home and had pictures taken etc.

It's all portrayed as very good fun.

But if this had been an 89year old man, requesting a woman with 'big bobs and long legs'
Do we think the care home wouldn't have ordered a stripper...and then taken photos and then the BBC report it as feel good fun new article?

The historical un equal power relationship is in men's favour. So it's never going to be the same if reversed.

Hahahahahahahah bollocks.

I don't think that stripping is a good thing for either sex

Anything else you want to try to aha us with ?

Re. men over 60 "aren't a threat". Just googled US & UK famous serial killers 60+. UK - Harold Shipman, Peter Tobin. The US - Ed Gein (who Hannibal is based on) , Denis Radar(known as BTK) , David Parker Ray, Albert Fish, Samuel Little (most prolific serial in US history). The US & UK have the most serial killers league table wise.

Of course it wouldn't happen the other way round

People sure do have selective memories. It was in the news recently that prostitutes were being arranged for old and disabled men in care. But yeah, let’s play pretend....

Last time I've checked I had the exact same rights and benefits as my husband, but biology game me all the power regarding children

And biology gives men all the power regarding strength, hence why 2 women a week are killed by their partners, why so many women are raped and sexually assaulted. And if you manage to get your case to court, not only will the man generally be believed over you, but if you’ve ever had sex before, you were probably a slut who was asking for it (his past is irrelevant though). But yeah, you keep telling yourself you have the upper hand.

I am very sorry for you if that is your experience, but it doesn't make it the reality or experience for most women. There are enough female in the police force or in the justice system to prove it. So yes, we are lucky that we do have the upper hand.
