Five ways to cope with menstrual cramps
True, there’s another three things to suggest but why not start with what is usually done?

Wrong link?
Yes, corrected now, Ta.
Take the day off work, put your feet up and watch daytime television.
The feminazi mantra…..
What do we want?
– Equality!
When do we want it?
– When it suits us.
To paraphrase Ian Dury, who sang:
There ain’t half been some clever bastards
(Lucky bleeders, lucky bleeders)
We have more appropriately:
There ain’t half been some stupid bitches
(Unlucky bleeders, unlucky bleeders)
To which I want to point out that the reasons to be cheerful 1 2 3 certainly don’t include 4 if you get what I mean.
6) get pregnant.
The author left out the part about it all being the fault of the patriarchy.
They’re slipping at The Guardian.
Andrew C,
Didn’t you get the memo, the mantra is now all about equity not equality?
This is code for equality of outcome and means they can demand the same pay for different jobs, hours etc. That’s what the idiotic gender pay surveys are all about.

You win
Resolution Foundation – led by a former New Labour apparatchik by the way – spouting Left bollocks again
BBC – Why isn’t Lord Hall et al being mauled for “cuts which punish the old & poor” on Today, Newsnight etc?
.
BBC – Elsewhere Money to burn
BBC – Why it’s time for adverts on the minority-interest BBC
Privatise C4. Privatise all but BBC1, R4 and World Service, those three funded by donations from public
How much would a subsciption to R4 and R4Extra cost? Bearing in mind I’m already paying twice for them, TV license plus cable fee.
I can’t remember the last time I listened to something other than R4 or R4Ex, but it was probably when I pressed UP instead of DOWN on the channel selector.
Hmm £116m per year for 11m listeners. That’s a tenner a year. Sign me up.
@ BiND
Equity would mean that a guy who works 48 hours a week gets paid more than a women who works 34 hours a week.
Don’t you mean “equality not equity”

The lead item for PM today was that we should send fewer women to prison because of the adverse effect it has on their children.
Yes, I heard that, the interviewer kept asking about convicted *parents*, the interviewee kept swerving away to convicted *mothers*.
@jgh
Issue here is that a large proportion of women convicted of crimes are single mums whereas not many men convicted of crimes are single dads (taking “single parent” as meaning “solely responsible for the childcare”, not just single and having had sprogs). It seems being brought up by a criminal (generally meaning non-violent but serial offender; think shoplifting, possible addict) single mum is not as harmful to the child as having that mum sent to jail and the kids going off to grandparents or the care system instead. So prime facie there are rational grounds for thinking about sentencing single parents differently – e.g. “no point doing something that helps produce a new generation of criminals” – and this will affect women criminals much more than men. Still, from a just deserts point of view, one would hope that being a parent should only change the type of punishment to be more parent-friendly, but not its magnitude. Difficult to prove that two possible sentences, one custodial and one not, are “equally punitive”, but it surely can’t be right to say parents deserve lesser punishment (e.g. having 30% of a custodial term knocked off but nothing else substituted in its place) simply for being parents.
Never trust anything that bleeds for five days and doesn’t die.
Seeing their parent being a serial criminal without punishment will have a great effect on the kids. Creating a truly criminal caste.

Donations/subscriptions works; thanks.
Subsidising criminal parents ensures more criminals.
Keeping them out of prison gives them even more time to breed.
A person imprisoned costs fifty grand a year, but I read somewhere, the economic cost of there prevented behaviour would be 150 grand ish.
Time off prison sentences for having their tubes tied at a young age?
No extra child benefit or bigger council slag palace?
Close BBC/C4 never mind any corporate socialist “privatising” nonsense. Gone in 24 hours.
As for cramps etc–too bad.
Mr Ecks
How is privatising/selling to highest bidders “corporate socialist “privatising” nonsense”
I’d prefer each C4 & BBC channel to be be sold separately
A free market is where YOUR name is directly on their paycheck and you vote elsewhere with your payment if you don’t like their shite.
Selling the BBC and C4 will not have that result.
First off who is going to buy them? Likely a consortium of the same or similar cunts as those who are now running them. Notice many free market new ideas among the banks and the energy companies– to name two of the cartels “protected” by the British state?. Shut the BBC4 down, sell off their equipment and allow anyone to broadcast anything.
