Much progress has been made in the drive to eradicate sexism in the 21st Century.  It is now widely accepted that patriarchy is thankfully a thing of the past and we have true equality, regardless of gender.  

We have made huge steps forward that mean women aren't just expected to stay at home, bake cakes and raise the children, now they can put the bins out too!

On the flip side, men can now hoover and still retain their masculinity (thanks largely to Freddie Mercury) and it doesn't hurt for them to take the kids to the park on a Sunday afternoon, rather than spend it in the pub leering at the single barmaid, and discussing the best way to drain a diesel engine. 

In short, regardless of whether you have a pee pee or a foo foo, you should be treated fairly and women now have the chance to do whatever job they want, just as long as they don't want to be paid the same as men!

If Men are from Mars and Women are from Venus, isn't it fitting that we have found common ground on Earth and now live in harmony together.  But there is a stark reminder of the darker days that looms just off the coast of Britain, and it's time we did something about it!

If we are to truly call a ceasefire in the battle of the sexes, we need to rename The Isle of Man, The Isle of Person.  In fact let's not stop there.  The capital of the Island of Bloke is Douglas, a masculine name if ever we heard one, and we should look for something a little more gender fluid.  The Isle of Person with the capital city of Lesley/ie, surely that's far more inclusive.

It is without doubt a wonderful place with lots going for it, you know loads of stuff like, ermm, motorbike races and cats with no tails, and a big water wheel, it would be a shame if all of this was forgotten and it was forever thought of as the epicentre of a sexist scandal.  It has plenty to be proud about too, and is the home of The Bee Gees who did their bit for battling sexism by being an all male band who sang like girls!

Let's make sure that this island is for everyone and that it is renamed in a manner that allows us to celebrate everyone equally... and then we can tackle the Isle of Wight!
