Alan Partridge provides constructive criticism to his Ukrainian girlfriend Sonia.
My favorite literary character of all time – I refuse to believe he’s not real – privately considers the English Breakfast to be that people’s only serious contribution to civilization. As an Irish medical officer in the Napoleonic era Royal Navy Stephen Maturin keeps this opinion to himself.
Like the terms “liberal” and “right wing/left wing”, “feminism” means nothing very specific now. There are historical elements to the movement – and I’m not sure we’re on the same movement any more – which I certainly support. Property rights, for example. But women were sold a bill of goods in the 20th century, and a lot of them were dumb enough to fall for it. It turns out that much work isn’t glamorous, no-strings-attached promiscuity is actually more of a guy thing (but it’s so liberating! Take that, patriarchy!), most women want children and finding yourself without a family late in life is actually quite horrifying (although there’s nothing wrong with lots of cats). Which, if you think about it, should have been easy to spot from the get go.
This is the best summation of #feminism I've seen. Literally. https://t.co/4QIWAmNVEA

In news, everything seems to be going horribly, horribly wrong. You’re welcome.
It’s all yours.
