(ED Trigger warning) Sisterhood. Being a feminist I am all for sisterhood. I am all for the magazine industry thinking up some new ideas at the beginning of each new year instead of cracking out the diet plan filing cabinet and doing some sort of lucky dip of New Year – New You articles. I would prefer if, on declining a biscuit, I was not automatically accused of being on a diet. Because I am a woman and it is January so naturally I must be on some kind of diet, or a detox.

Dieting has always seemed something rather ridiculous to my mind. I think it is because I associate it with svelte teenage girls at school announcing they were going on a diet because they were 'so fat'. This is not an interesting conversation jump off point to me, but then nobody spoke to me at school so who am I to say what's an interesting topic? 

Girls, girls, girls, will you just calm yourselves. Stop this power grab and man stomping at once I tell you. Feminism, sorry “militant feminism” is bad for us all and something must be done: “Here at the headquarters of the Anti-Feminism League we’ve always recognised that feminism can’t be defeated as an ideology, the most we can hope to do is to thwart its manifestations on an issue-by-issue basis.” Yes, you might have thought this had been covered by, y'know, The Government but no. So men and a Mr Mike Buchanan are taking things into their own hands and starting a political party. Man Party.

OK it's not called that. Which is missing a trick I can tell you Mr Buchanan. Every opportunity I ever get I vote for The Monster Raving Loony party (I've never had that opportunity), if Man Party were an option I'd dither I can tell you.
