					<description><![CDATA[Meanwhile, in Trumps US of A, conservatives are swooning over the fact that their vice-president never eats alone with a woman, unless it is his wife, apparently because he does not trust his sexual urges not to get the better of him (unless he believes that women are gagging to grab him by the willy). 

The irony of commending their vice-president for his moral fortitude and marital devotion while electing the pussy-grabber-in-chief as President has totally eluded them.]]></description>

Yes, you are. It&#039;s called Spot The Hypocrisy.

Labour has been going on about progressive liberal cosmopolitan LGBTQI+ brave new worlds, and all we get in their promo material are photoshoots of traditional conservative nuclear families, with the heterosexual couple married in a Roman Catholic church, with a stay-at-home mum baking gingerbread and the kids in party frocks.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[As a tall woman on an island full of very short men, I am well placed to know for a fact that extreme lack of height shapes a man&#039;s attitude to life and, especially, towards women who have the height they don&#039;t, and who make them feel threatened. 

If the woman&#039;s height is also coupled with what they perceive to be her &#039;superior social status&#039;, the resentments engendered by the nature of their upbringing and their small stature provoke a simmering rage that becomes uncontrollable. 

This is especially so when the woman in question steps on their toes. This happens even in private, but in public it becomes for them a matter of honour in the Sicilian meaning of the term. 

And please don&#039;t seek to lecture me about these matters, because unlike you, I have lived them on a daily basis for almost 30 years. One of the reasons I never wear high heels is because Maltese men are threatened enough by me as it is, let alone if I make myself six feet tall by putting on the kind of shoes Maltese women wear habitually.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Rather than pushing the younger generation. Goes to show we&#039;re still being governed by a sexist, old mentality bunch, who still need to show their prowess by walking in the lead.

Talking of which, what happened to their &#039;leader&#039; term? Not being used anymore?]]></description>
