And yet Helen Mirren mocking men's penises and accusing Hollywood of being phallocentric - and she was applauded for insulting men & our genitalia by suggesting it was a 'small part'.

Gee the hypocrisy never ceases to amaze me.

The Labour frontbencher said: "If I had ever said 'calm down dear' to Yvette at home, she'd have clocked me one.

But that is okay as long as a woman's doing it, right?

How pathetically childish, female politicians are allowed to tell male polliticians to 'man up' (which is worse than saying 'dear') though? Women are being applauded for insulting men in public, yet a joke (and IMO not a bad one either) is considered highly offensive and misplaced in the 21st century? Such hypocrisy ought to be criminal and prosecutable.

How pathetically childish, female politicians are allowed to tell male polliticians to 'man up' (which is worse than saying 'dear') though? Hypocrisy I say.

Those men have to start pointing it out publically though! We can't depend on politicians to do this, though.

The Labour frontbencher said: "If I had ever said 'calm down dear' to Yvette at home, she'd have clocked me one.

I'd love to hear the response, had he admitted that he would "clock" her, for saying something comparable. Wasn't Harriet Harman the one who said how a woman cheating on a man, was no excuse for domestic violence? Yet a husband saying "calm down, dear" IS??? The inter-gender-violence-related double standards never cease to amaze me. Also gotta love how saying something totally unrelated to gender, such as "dear", is condemned by the same party whose deputy leader said how men would all want to leave the country, were she to become Prime Minister.

How I despise Labour.

Well noted double standards folks... we can safely assume the feminists won't be talking about this issue, aside from bashing Cameron.

Hey, this could be an idea for an AM competition - name your favourite double standard.

It's something the Israelis have adopted: a zero-tolerance policy for any critical speech since they were founded. And it works. ANY little thing questioning Israeli policies (like the diplomatic wisdom of using bogus British passports to sneak a hit squad into the UAE, or passing secret American military technology to China, etc) is instantly denounced as nothing but "anti-Semitism". Period.

And the Feminists and American Blacks have all successfully used this policy as a defensive measure to completely shut down ANY form of discussion. They control the speech, so how can there be any "debate"?

"Calm down, dear?" is sexist?

Back in the day in the States before Feminism finally doomed us, "Shut up, bitch!" in a crowded theater was openly and warmly accepted.

So that twit ought to count herself damned lucky she can even be there. But we can't say such things.

I happened to be watching it live and thought the schoolmasterly response was appropriate given how the Labour front bench (whom I noted were all self-avowed Marxists and feminists) were becoming increasingly animated and boisterous when the NHS was being discussed.

It could be described at best as condescending, but reverting to the tiresome accusation of 'sexism' is filler for Labour's increasing lack of substance in their arguments, and it only serves to highlight that if a female MPs sensibilities are so fragile that she's offended by being called "dear," then she has no place in the rough and tumble of politics.

What was funny was Ed Balls (sat next to Milliband) insistently gesticulating to Cameron that he apologise to his wife (no gimp likes his mistress receiving a deserved scolding of sorts). I thought he was having a fit or something. Most unprofessional! That said, Angela Eagle along with fellow radical feminists like Harriet Harman have been viciously sticking the knife into men behind the scenes for years, implementing anti-male laws when they were in power, and she has the temerity to complain about something so utterly insignificant is the height of feminist hypocrisy!

I think there'd be about as many possibilities as there are lottery number combinations.....

What level of wimps had to put up with the feminised Labour Party with Harman in charge..

And yet, men actually vote Labor. What level of moron does one have to be to vote in a male hating party..

These politicians get upset over 'dear' yet they dont see paternity fraud as a problem? Maybe they R the ones who are the sexists.

It has emerged that David Cameron said the exact same thing to Gordon Brown, last year; yet, apparently, the woman's gender is an issue. I despair at how such muppets can come to have so much power, I truly do.

Maybe this is why she hates men:
