Wise words from "an unemployable sperm donor"...

Further proof that women really should be running the world and that there remain plenty of cretenous mutton-headed males out there: BBC World newsreader Michael Buerk has been whining that "the shift in the balance of power between the sexes" has gone too far and that "life is now lived in accordance with women's rules." That Buerk has the nerve to claim that women are snatching up all the high-level jobs in the world, brutally forcing the less-gentle sex to conform to their standards and - this one's my favorite - are ultimately forcing men out of the evolutionary food chain is just mindblowing. If there's been any shift in the balance of power (because clearly the relationship between the sexes is a contentious battlefield), it has maybe been to allow women a voice in the public sphere that is maybe 50% adequately representative of the population. God forbid, women have a say in dictating the way corporations, media and government are run in the twenty-first century!

I can only laugh when Buerk concludes that men are becoming more like women, while "the traits that have traditionally been associated with men - reticence, stoicism, single-mindedness - have been marginalised." Is this really such a bad thing??? Does Buerk really consider man's position in human society so precarious that he should fear women's greater representation in the workforce? Shame on BBC for employing such a moron.
