Fathers Day...

I know I've made a joke or two about 'farters' but when I was looking at cards in Sainsbury's I got angry...

Nearly all the cards were along the lines of :

' What a worthless bungler you are, but we still love you because you do funny farts... you tit '...

Whereas on Mothers Day I get cards elevating me to goddess status complete with flat-pack pedestal and chocolates (By the way, if anyone so much as looks at my chocs next year I will have to kill you...)

My dad, my male friends and my husband have been ( excuse the pun ) total rocks for me...

We can all be flakey, but when I see decent mens faces being pushed even lower into the social mire than the despised yet celebrated 'ladette' I worry...

And that's another interesting point regarding media representation...

Maybe somebody would care to pick up on it ?

But without my dad ( then ) and my beloved ( now ) being such gentle, strong men..

I wouldn't have stood a chance at being (for good or ill) the woman I am now...

Mainstream separatism creates it's own problems.
