Where would we be without good old yooman rites? After all, the whole concept of yooman rites means that you can do whatever you want and then complain about the punishment, saying it breaches your dignity.

And the latest example of this is an absolute doozy.

A man serving time in a British jail for manslaughter and rape is to be moved to a women's prison -- because he has decided that he is no longer a man, but is in fact a woman.

The 'article' is really a joke.  It goes on about other subjects, and later you will encounter crap like this:

More anti-male, sexist nonsense

Honestly, there really are times when it is hard to be a man.

We're mocked, pilloried and discriminated against at every turn.

After all, we don't get maternity leave, we have no excuses when our behaviour becomes, erm, slightly irrational and yet we bear these burdens with a sense of strong, stoic defiance.

Unless we get a case of the sniffles, of course, in which case Man Flu is declared and we take to the bed for a week, demanding chicken soup and cuddles.

But the latest assault on male dignity is quite simply a step too far.

A new study -- presumably conducted by lesbians who hate men -- says that "talking to an attractive woman can actually make a man lose his mind".

So basically its just trash.

"talking to an attractive woman can actually make a man lose his mind".

I don't know, I've seen it happen, if not lose their mind at least turn them into inarticulate babbling fools.
