I have to say I'm biased and I've always loathed Coren, but holy fucking shit...

Yep.

He appears to get it

Going back to focus on looks it's also obvious that there is way too much focus on women's looks generally and the workplace no exception. The recent spate of news stories reminds us ofpart of the reason men in powerful positions select attractive women.

I look like the backend of a bus and I'm sure it doesn't do me any favours.

All people including women should be getting selected on merit not appearance but I don't see that happening in my lifetime

I hate Giles Coren. He is such a sniveling excuse for a man. Full on creep. Did anyone see that piece he wrote about being on holiday with his daughter? I struggle to believe he is Victoria's brother.

MrsKeats: "I’m a bit confused about the first paragraph. Who ends a work email with xxx ? That’s just weird and unprofessional."

This times 100. Nobody does this.

Also, quite aside from the main point, did you notice he puts the xxx before his name rather than after? That's weird too.

That David Paxton piece is great.

Exposes Giles Coren and Brendan O'Neill for exactly what they are.

Woe is Man indeed.

I liked this pic that he used about Bill Cosby.

If you say so Confused

What a petulant, self-absorbed load of old shite. Coren is an idiot.

Popchyk: I love that pic too. It's so interesting that as soon as one woman speaks out about these people (Savile, Rolf Harris, Cosby, Weinstein etc) then loads of others have the courage to speak out too. Those men never just harass one woman.

hipster: I do bloody say so! Don't start telling me that it's normal to put kisses BEFORE your name. Smile
