The Week in Sexist News 17/07/15
Good Morrow dear readers. Friday is upon us once more, and with it we serve up a tepid plate of news-flavoured offal for your reluctant delectation. You might need a pelican bib; we doubt you'll keep any of it down... 10) Context fail guys, bravo Props to The...
The Week in Sexist News 10/07/15
Morning all. It beith Friday. We won't lie, we're a little the worse for wear. So, we'll just leave you here with these 10 slices of journalistic hell, while we go and have a small lie down. 10) Woman tweets photo, journo fills shorts Poor sad, lonely,...
The Week in Sexist News 03/07/15
Morning lovely people, as you may or may not know this week's count down is a bit later as we did our first LIVE version of Sexist News yesterday at Matchwomen's Festival. All very exciting and hangover facilitating. So without further ado, here's some shit news for...
Votes for Mike
From our (menz) political correspondent Colin Trowel, we give you this important delve into politics with an infographic thing...
The Week in Sexist News – 26/06/15
Holy shit. It's Friday again. Don't panic. Have you got some kind of baked good handy? Some tea making apparatus? Excellent. Now sit down and read about some terrible, terrible news written by some uniquely ghastly individuals... 10) No Diet Diet THE NO DIET DIET IS...
Ranty Pants: Have Your Say #3
Greetings dear readers! Have you recently seen something infuriating? Have you read an article that has irritated you so much you could gnaw clean through a robust park bench? Has a product or service rendered you partially blind with rage? Has an incident filled you...
The Week in Sexist News 19/06/15
Good morning citizens of the internet. We hope you're having a nice Friday (or any other day if you're reading this some other time). We've had a largely calm week, well, sort of. Iris is ovulating and so has mostly been crying, but Flora has had some delightful walks...
The Week in Sexist News 12/06/15
Aaaaah... we love the smell of sexism in the morning. Which is a good thing, since this week has gifted our green and pleasant land with a veritable pea-souper of stinking, patriarchal fug. Woo-hoo. SRSLY people it's bleak. Jeffing bleak, as my grandma, who would die...
The Week in Sexist News 05/06/2015
Afternoon all, sorry we're late today. It's a long story involving ovaries, gin and a ludicrous settee, we will spare you the details. We must say, this week we've both felt quite crabby. This may come across, so forgive us for all the profanities. Maybe the last 7...
The Week in Sexist News 29/05/2015
So. That Friday feeling. Slightly sweary and in desperate need of one of those glasses that holds 12 cubic litres of wine? Yes, us too. You'll be unsurprised to discover that there is still some sexist news knocking about, tossers willing to write it and plenty of...
The Week in Sexist News 22/05/15
Friday, you've not come a day too soon. And yet, with your end of week joy comes the knowledge that much of our media is idiotic, crass and sexist. We're not against crassness per se; Flora and I enjoy a bawdy joke as much as the next louche harpy, but the sheer...
Ranty Pants: Have Your Say!
Greetings dear readers! Have you recently seen something infuriating? Have you read an article that made you angry enough to burn down your own house? Have you been told that changing your prefix to 'Ms' on your bank account is a bit aggressive? Is your boss a sexist...
The Week in Sexist News – 15/05/2015
Morning all, as we've watched another week grind past (and not in a bawdy way) a fair proportion of the journos up and down our land have been conjuring clouds of malodorous word guff. It's wafted about this green and pleasant land just being generally pongy, oh and...
Tory Beauty Guide
From our Politics and Fashion Correspondent Iris Clot, we bring you titivating Tory Style! ... It seems we’re entering a new season where parsimony, distrust and cruelty are in vogue, so wrap up for our political winter of discontent; it looks like we might be in for...
The Week in Sexist News 08/05/15
Our heads are buried firmly in the sand this morning. La la la, we can't hear you British politics, sorry what? No, can't help you we've got our fingers in our ears. Our childish behaviour is actually a neat segue to the sexist news, since most of our journos need to...
Ranty Pants: Have Your Say!
Greetings dear readers! Have you recently seen something infuriating? Have you read an article that made you angry enough to lay an egg that will hatch into a fire-breathing, winged lizard? Have you been on hold to Orange customer services for 37 minutes, only for an...
The Week in Sexist News 01/05/15
Lawks guv, it's only gone and got to Friday again. We've been trawling the dark, dark abyss so you lovely lot don't have to. And we strenuously advise you not to, unless you want your brain to melt into a steaming puddle of incredulity. We find it quite staggering...
The Week in Sexist News 24/04/15
Good morrow weary fellow travellers, it is indeed Friday once more. It’s been a right week, Flora is looking to make friends in her new home and has so far joined a line-dancing troupe and an advanced whittling club. Meanwhile, Iris has been in therapy, but the less...
The Week in Sexist News 17/04/15
Well ladies and gents, this week the sexist bullshit fairy ran barefoot through our national press. Wedding cockery, foot fuckwittery, pregnancy piffle, it's all here. We've been busy amusing ourselves and trying our best to ignore it all until absolutely necessary....
The Week in Sexist News 10/04/2015
Well it’s been a busy week for both of us. We’ve been furiously writing things to get attention and boost our pale, flimsy egos. It’s also been a busy week for sexist wordsmiths. As usual, we’ve been spoiled for choice as to which pustules of brimming hate to tackle....
Problems, problems…
Dear readers, we have realised that there are many people in need of good, robust life advice from women such as us who have it all taped. In fact, it is selfish of us not to share our sage, feminist wisdom. So please, do send us your troubles, we will both offer our...
Sports Direct
Recently, in the midst of an impassioned rant about Sports Direct, my boyfriend interrupted me and said, with watery-eyed boredom, ‘tell it to Mike Ashley.’ Following my initial confusion, because I thought Mike Ashley was the man from Wigan with false teeth who...
Shoes
I have a small confession to make. I have a shoe problem. No, not that kind of shoe problem; I'm not a wildly uncool, clumsy, gin-addled Carrie Bradshaw wannabe, I look like something from the Hippopotamousse adverts in a tutu and I never watched more than one episode...
The Week in Sexist News 03/04/15
Good morning! Oh we've missed this, trawling through copy and images that have been knitted together by people being fuckwits nine to five, just so they can afford oatcakes and renting a shoebox hovel somewhere borderline trendy in that London. Unless, of course,...
The Week in Sexist News 13/03/2015
Dear readers, it is, once again, Friday. We have the usual countdown of bilge and bobbins, cataloguing cherry-picked instances of Fleet Street’s finest rancid guffery for your laptop-punching rage and beverage inhaling amusement. This week, joining Iris, we have guest...
The Week in Sexist News 06/03/2015
It is once again Friday, that hallowed day which, for many of the 30 something spinsters that read our blog, will end with you all sicking up in a bush having lost a shoe outside the church social or Gala bingo, for the agnostic or worse (crosses self) amongst us....
The Week in Sexist News 27/02/2015
It's Friday, friends! As per usual this week, a sorry troupe of rent-a-hacks have spaffed some utter toss about wimmin onto page and screen. Averse to cleaning as we are - being general slovenly wenches with grimy fridge-backs - we have mopped some of it up...
The Week in Sexist News 20/02/2015
Hey Tights Fans, it's been a peculiar week at Tights Towers this week. Iris is living a double life of intrigue, which mainly involves fannying about in London for work and hiding her drinking habits from her mother; Flora has been going on long walks to 'get back to...
The Week in Sexist News 13/01/15
Roses are red, violets are - oh, I just can't be arsed, dear readers. But, anyway, Valentine's Day is upon us, with all its crap bears and hearts and 25% off Prosecco in Sainsbury's. And that means a bumper week of patronising, sexist manure chucked in the faces of...
Not the Week in Sexist News
Morning campers, we hope this Friday sees you well. We however, have had an absolute toss-bag of a week. Frankly, Flora and I would like this week to go get knotted. We had plans for amusing capers, my beard is coming on nicely and I'd planned to see if I could join...
