sallykate Feb 2016 1:24pm, 18 Feb 2016 4,241 posts	0 sallykate "don't read the comments" is generally the way to go with online articles! Good piece, short and to the point.

McGoohan Feb 2016 2:10pm, 18 Feb 2016 21,762 posts	0 McGoohan I thought it was an interesting and well-written article. The Guardian has IMHO the worst armchair warriors on its website comments - self-righteous twunts who'd pick a fight with their own shadow while arguing black was white.

Chrisull Feb 2016 5:14pm, 18 Feb 2016 8,473 posts	0 Chrisull Well done Iron Mum, and the comments are the article are "mild" compared to the ones on the Ross Putman article on Hollywood script summations of female characters being ridiculously sexist (which they are) theguardian.com which they indisputably are,and I just can't see why anyone would think it's a good thing or whether Hollywood has done more than the odd decent film a year. I sometimes think Guardian commenters are exclusively white men over the age over 65 with undiagnosed diabetic conditions which just makes them permanently angry. They do seem to be predominantly Mail and Telegraph readers who comment and bait, and slug it out with a few Corbynistas.
McGoohan Feb 2016 5:35pm, 18 Feb 2016 21,769 posts	0 McGoohan I dunno Chris, sometimes they just seem to be waiting to take a contrary position to whatever is offered up, left, right or centre. You're right though: Permanently angry.
