How f*ckn sexist!
That’s the whole – tongue in cheek – point of the programme
also I think the point was that there’s loads of really positive stuff about being a man – a manly man if you like – that is really being rubbished these days and that’s wrong. There’s nothing wrong with a positive traditional masculine role model – a man who fixes cars, does DIY, cast a concrete kitchen, but also cuddles his kids, makes simple food…etc etc….
being a man is complicated. on one level you have to be the loving tender protector and fixer of all things, yet you have to also be strong and willing to fight, sometimes literally, for things. Tall order.
I can see this getting a roasting….
