Thought for the Fucking Day

[timscience]

I have a tendency to listen to Radio 4 on my way to work on the days when I don't feel like listening to music. It's relatively soothing and often quite interesting. Unfortunately my regular schedule gets me Thought for the Fucking Day about the time I go over Tesco flyover.

Usually it just induces eye-rolling scorn over its sixth-form platitudes

Just listened to it. Fucking hell, this sort of bullshit is what I had to battle against for most of my professional life, (it's still around for me now, but much more hidden and subtle.) Separate instructions for women! Scientists prove women can't read maps!

Most of my boyfriends have been hopeless map readers with an excessive addiction to chocolate that one might be tempted to call hormonal, if calling a liking of chocolate hormonal wasn't also ridiculous bullshit.

And nothing about the fact that money and security really helps kids, which they could equally get being raised by a secure gay or lesbian couple, as opposed to a single parent struggling to find cash and time.

Arrrgh aaarrrgh aaargh!

Atkins is always like this, but I think that one is worth complaining about actually.

The only Christian commentators on TFTD that I have any time for are Giles Fraser and John Bell (the nice one from the Iona community). The Other Faiths are often pretty good value, but too many of the Christians are rather smug and narrow-minded, and I find AA one of the worst offenders.
