The women raised (I think) about 3 times as much money as the men, but Alan Sugar said the men were more creative than the women. So the girls totally slaughtered the men, but is that any surprise? Who are rich male donors likely to give more money to? Men or women? Obviously women are in a much stronger position trying to raise money from either sex. Women only have to flutter their eyelashes and people feel more sympathy for them. It just illustrated the very strong position women are in without all the positive discrimination and pressure groups.
It is time we began to ask who are these women who continually rubbish men. The most stupid, ill-educated and nasty woman can rubbish the nicest, kindest and most intelligent man and no one protests.

depends on the woman. i dont think many people would feel sympathy if Jo Brand fluttered her eyelashes. Lots of men dont notice the 90% of women they dont fancy.

You know men don't really  think with their dicks. I know some women like you think that, but most men ARE more intelligent than that.

There are always two extremes....the truth lies in the middle.

True, but Jo Brand certainly didn't help herself with her anti-male stan up routine. I'll bet a lot of Vietnam vets would have put Jane Fonda at the bottom of their list of attractive women after she decided to go and help the Viet Cong, and I'm pretty sure there weren't a couple of doormen on the prow of each life boat saying "Sorry luv, you not pretty enough to get on."

Sorry Brian, I forgot to add that I didn't see the Comic Relief Apprentice. The whole concept of the show bewilders me, it's like on the one hand their trying to make to feel sad and concerned about the people in Africa etc, whilst trying to make you laugh. One minute it's AIDs and then the next it's Davina McCall mugging at the camera, trying to be a bit 'crazy'.

What I did notice though was how often women and children are portrayed as the ones needing 'your help'. Most of the little videos to remind you why you're supposed to be watching show the plight everyone but men, including one of the homeless ones, which featured a teenage girl on the streets.

But I guess they do that because people have more sympathy when they are being shown women and kids, rather than seeing a man in a tough spot and saying "why doesn't he just get a job?"

If the money goes to help everyone though then I guess it makes sense.

i think they blame men subconciously for the creation of poverty too.

its not surprising men hate jo brand, but, it is a sign of the times that she probably could no longer get away with half the stuff she used to? I think most people see her as a sad lonely figure now, whereas before she was queen of the men haters...

I noticed that too. They did a thing about homelessness and it was all about young girls and women. The fact that many more men are homeless for much longer doesn't seem to rate a mention.

I think there's some truth to it. Men being nicer to women than to other men. But... there's a way way bigger difference in how women treat people. Women might prefer dealing with other women, but they are much nicer when it comes to dealing with men.


Yes, but men can't really wrap women round their little fingers in the way women can wrap men round theirs. I know looks determine a lot of their power, but I think women are generally better at manipulation.

This one was supposed to be for charity though.
