Gender Cringe

On another R4 prog yesterday I discovered a new virulent strain of political correctness which I have coined 'Gender Cringe'. Michael? Dobbs and some left wing 'comedian' were running down men - all it seemed to me - to cravenly curry favour with a fellow female guest. It was embarrassing and an inverted form of sexism or gender stereotyping whereby in order to show your right-on feminist credentials you masochistically run down your own gender.

Rather than making women think men are becoming senesitive it is more likely to have the opposite effect and make them even more contemptible in their eyes.
