Has anybody read this waste of space publication today?

Where all mothers are chavs, fat or yummy mummies?

Great to be stuck in a narrow old compartment hey?

Take your choice, which are you.

Has this guy ever left his tiny London enclave?

I doubt it.(angry)

always appalls me when working mums and stay at home mums 'like' to see the other side attacked. We are all of us trying to do our best, if we supported each other instead of enjoying it when one or the other gets attacked and sterotyped [especially by men] we might all have less guilt and feel better about our choices.

MrsJohnCusack · 29/01/2007 09:37

I would like to call him a wanker but am slightly worried he too will track me down by Googling himself and start posting on here...
oh sod it he must be used to it.such a waste of space

UnquietDad · 29/01/2007 09:38

?? did someone do that, Mrs JC?

CountessDracula · 29/01/2007 09:39

blimey this coming from the man who is reported as having said that he married Liz Jones because wanted a nice lifestyle! And spent a year trying to adopt with her???

He is clearly insane

UnquietDad · 29/01/2007 09:41

Jones is all me me me .

She must be hell to live with, as indeed must he.

UnquietDad · 29/01/2007 09:42

try again

MrsJohnCusack · 29/01/2007 09:43

yes the man from the thread about getting signatures to get him to propose to his girlfriend (he must have been googling his own name, the saddo). Notice I am NOT putting his name on here in case he gets the urge again
actually he seems (crossed fingers) to have disappeared - before I found the thread and posted on it again - so hopefully he won't be back and I am safe

southeastastra · 29/01/2007 09:47

they both need to find proper jobs

foxtrot · 29/01/2007 10:01

he's jealous. Why does he say he is deliberatley evading parenthood, when other articles (by his wif) suggest otherwise. Jealousy = nasty.

Judy1234 · 29/01/2007 13:34

He certainly achieved his aim of people reading/being interested - just look at this thread. Isn't that the point of these articles - find something that will get people's hackles up? Of course I see a lot of those women in London - it's a certain type. They do dress as he says and their conversation is completely vacuous.

Twig, I want a free country within reason where parents can follow different ways to bring up children whether its as scientologists, cults, strict Muslims, worshipping the sun, Christ or nothing so I am happy for women to be housewives if they choose. My person view is that overall that is pretty much subjugation to and reliance economically on a man and all that stuff and wouldn't suit me but I wouldn't fetter anyone's choice. Where I would step in legally is where we get beyond choice to things that damage. So by all means bring up daughters if people have to wear crop tops and be sexualised young, marry and breed at 16 or marry the person your parents choose for you and kow tow to men for life but don't circumcise girls, allow wife beating etc In other words there a band of practices we can tolerate even if I don't agree with them (just as some women won't agree I should have returned to work when the babies were 2 weeks) and other practices which are wrong. The interesting point is where you draw the line. Should we step in legally and make maternity and parternity rights the same so men and women have a freer choice? Should we have universal free good childcare so women have a better choice to work if they choose? Or should we make going back to work much harder because we think all mothers should be home until their children are 18?

ruty · 29/01/2007 13:58

of course we shouldn't make going back to work much harder. It is not much fun you know giving up your career because you can't afford a decent level of childcare or you want to bring your child up yourself for one or two years. Good grief. Childcare should be improved and flexibility in the work place should too, but why on earth shouldn't a woman be allowed to bring up her own child for a year or two without losing her career and suffering so badly financially?
And as for the kind of women this twit sees in cafes- well that is a tiny minority of SAHMs - most don't have such glamourous lifestyles, and a lot of them aren't teenage chavs either. He needs to get out more.

Here's another example of Nirpal's great writing and rather neanderthal approach to relationships.

"Last Christmas, my wife threw me out after discovering I'd been cheating on her. On the night we got back together, I made strong, passionate love to her. Unfaithful as I'd been, I was not going to let her have me over a barrel for the rest of our marriage. I needed to keep a sense of self and not allow her to mire me in guilt and a desperate quest of forgiveness.

I needed to let her know what she would be missing if we broke up for ever. I gave her a manful bravura performance that night, and at the height of her passion, I asked her: 'Who's the boss?'

The question threw her. Initially she wouldn't give me a reply, but I enticed it from her. 'You are,' she finally gasped. 'You are!' "

ruty · 29/01/2007 14:09

and she stays with this idiot?

UnquietDad · 29/01/2007 14:09

I remember that one. Doesn't say a lot for her either, does it?

beckybrastraps · 29/01/2007 14:09

Nice...

lol at 'who's the boss?'.

I slept with a boy at University who blurted out 'who's the Daddy?' in a charged moment. I laughed so much he got up and left. (Didn't mean to be nasty, but who could help it?).

A manful, bravura performance indeed.

UnquietDad · 29/01/2007 14:16

"I hope, not you" would have been the obvious response!

ruty · 29/01/2007 14:38

i can just imagine him giving his manful bravura performance over you cod. [yuck emoticon]

Aloha · 29/01/2007 14:43

She should have said 'Paul Dacre' (editor of the Mail)! Then he could have said, 'me too!'.

He only does it to annoy because he knows it teases. Leave it...'e's not worf it, as they say on EastEnders.

ruty · 29/01/2007 14:47

Aloha.
[My 'yuck' emoticon was reserved for Nirpal only of course.]

Imafairy · 29/01/2007 14:47

What a twunt that man is.....

beckybrastraps · 29/01/2007 14:49

I didn't think it was quite so dreadful as all that (this one, not the manful performance one - yuck).

I'd rather read this than the appalling mummy drivel that's in the Times so often.

But if I were his mother I'd give him a clip around the ear for his description of the 'ones that matter'.
