Lovely. I had a pretty horrible experience the other week with some guys who thought that a woman on a bike was fair game for their fun and games. A bit of respect, that's all I've ever asked for, and while I wouldn't presume to speak for all women, I think that most of the women I've ever known would agree.

Still some louts about it seems. :thumbsdown:

Sorry to hear that, cj. Unfortunately, it will probably take a few more generations for the last of the cavemen to die out. This will inevitably happen though as fewer and fewer women will be willing to mate with them! :laugh:

When they are not busy picking on women, they are probably out somewhere bullying weaker men.

Back when Mrs SJ was still cycling we were on a long steady climb when we came up behind a couple of yoofs on MTBs. They looked round and started pedalling furiously, jackets flapping in the breeze as they decided they'd show us how it was done. We cruised effortlessly past them, me getting a couple of sheepish grins in return for my "Good morning", Mrs SJ getting an astonished, "It's a bird!!" as she followed me barely breaking sweat.

Turning round they looked totally deflated and had slowed so much they nearly wobbled into the ditch.

its not really acceptable in this day to be whooping and leering at women, whether they cycle or not. a friendly good morning etc is fine, but can I just say that the lady in question is elegance personified.

I think I may have covered all bases with that (hopefully)

Don't joke about it. Before the election, a friend of a friend said she'd be voting X as that's how her husband usually votes. I changed the subject as I simply didn't have an answer to that.
And as a serious follow up to my previous post ... It always p*ssed me off as a lonely young singleton to see interesting and attractive women ending up with men that fitted the caveman description. They were seduced by the energy and self-confidence of the neanderthals, not realising that what they were actually getting were selfish, cheating, sexist, violent drunks!

You're not bitter, though.

Simon Mayo had a confessions story this week from a woman whose husband is a Tory MP, and she told him that she voted for him, but actually voted labour. He won anyway because a monkey with a blue ribbon could win the seat.
I just thought it was a funny tale.

Well, if you have a couple of months free, I invite you to trawl through my 20,000+ posts here and make a list of all the bitter and twisted things that I have ever posted about women. :whistle:

I will save you the effort ... you would only need a postage stamp to write the list on, and you would not need to write in small letters!

There was something on the BBC a couple of days ago about the Dutch being tall.... they weren't wrong.
