This is really annoying me.
They're talking about women 'just are' horrible and judgmental toward one another, especially in the playground.

Oh God, yes! Lazy journalism, at it's height, not impressed.

'We're born to bitch' - thank you Jane.

Jane Garvey, is it? The presenter.

Yes was really really bad - as though Woman's Hour had been possessed by the Daily Mail. I felt embarrassed for the generally wonderful Jane Garvey for having to preside over such pap.

Do feminists really listen to anything with a title as patronising as 'Woman's Hour'?

Well the question of whether 'woman's hour' should exist, or be called that, is another thing, isn't it?

I must admit unless it's Money Box Live, or Fags Mags and Bags, I never turn off radio 4 when at home, so I do end up hearing a lot of annoying things.

Anyway - it was both lazy and offensive. Am I the only person who just drops off at school and talks to some people and likes some people, but not so much some others, but it's not really an issue in my life? This feature made anyone who doesn't get 'stressed' about it seem very unusual!

You certainly are not alone, ER. The whole report was bizarre, silly and rather offensive.

Do I need to listed this on Catch-Up, or will it make me
