    If you insist, but it's tiresome.
    You claim to only be misogynist towards people who deserve it and happen to be women, well, that isn't misogyny. Disliking a woman for a particular reason (unless that reason is her gender) isn't misogyny. So, yes, I stand by my point that you don't (or perhaps didn't) understand the meaning of the word.
    Woohoo! I'm not a misogynist. Or maybe I am? It's so hard to tell these days.
    I just find it funny how upset people get over over-the-top feminists and it nearly always comes out with a large whiff of misogyny.
    The problem is that much of what was considered over the top, went over the top and right into the mainstream.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.

    "Upward-thrusting buildings ejaculating into the sky – do cities have to be so sexist?" - how can anyone write that with a straight-face?

    What's even more disturbing is the fact that she has managed to write a 224 page book of this bilge..... There is positive discrimination/letting voices be heard and then there is this over-indulged brain rot that the Guardian knowingly prods along..... I can't help but be reminded of Shutter Island for some reason...

    How can someone defend it with a straight face...

    It's gotten to the point where there's problems with everything and everyone. It's all bad to some degree.

    We need to start fresh. The cities should be torn down, people forced from them. Reset society. A Year Zero if you will.

    Pol Pot was big into the reset society and start afresh thing. Didn’t work out well for the poor old Cambodians.

    Is she definitely a real person?.. have we established it isn't a piss take?..

    If so, yeah, this sort of ****e really should be ridiculed.. probably should have been a lot more ridicule of it years ago before it got out of hand..

    A quick web search shows that the book and author are real. Her books are available from Amazon with online reviews elsewhere. Her publisher is real. The author is on Twitter, she is an associate professor.

    This is absolutely peak Guardian; Critical theory opinion pieces that are designed to click bait.

    It's a shame as The Guardian was a very good paper several years ago. A lot of people blame Katherine Viner but it was going on for a number of years before she became editor.

    I don't know why people pay to read the views of those who should be in a mental asylum.

    To be honest, there is still a lot of good stuff in The Guardian if you avoid the woke section. Avoiding Owen Jones is a great place to start, the tantrum-throwing, snivelling toad.

    Titania/Andrew has predicted a number of things. :eek: He said he finds it depressing that the satire he writes sometimes actually happens.

    Probably the most female architect ever, Zaha Hadid, had a penchant for designing buildings that looked like a vagina. She was lauded for this by the same people who call skyscrapers 'penile' (Thereby ignoring the raison d'etre of a skyscraper, which is to build as tall as possible on a given piece of land).

    This is Zaha Hadid's proposal for a stadium that she designed shortly before her passing in 2016.

    That is most aesthetically pleasing. It’s not often I say that about a stadium.

    The only other ones I can think of that I love are the Rose Bowl and the LA Coliseum.

    Honestly I think it looks too much like something from a box of roses, but the artistic part of architecture's subjective so...

    It won't when they take the scaffolding off the 'glans'.

    Nobody afaik ever said the Gherkin looks like a cock...

    In Cavan there was a great fire / Judge McCarthy was sent to inquire / It would be a shame / If the nuns were to blame / So it had to be caused by a wire.
