40summat   10 #3 Posted January 20, 2011 I never had a doubt, i have suffered this debilitating illness many times.  Infact i'm planning to suffer it again at the end of March, it will probably mean i'll be off work for a couple of days but it's best not to spread germs, especially nasty man flu ones.

Mecky   10 #4 Posted January 20, 2011 Men should get a petition together and make it illegal to downbeat the male sex in commercials. You can't watch TV without seeing an advert making out that men are dim and weak. It's got to stop; it's sexist to say the very least. Either that or men should get their own back on women ... see how they like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Even if it were true, it's wrong to do it. But don't blame us, blame those pesky admen. Although the whole point of the joke about man-flu is that it's not flu, it's just a little cold, but some men make such a big deal out of it, enough to make other people believe they actually have flu Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

rubydazzler   11 #8 Posted January 20, 2011 It's not a joke at all, I don't feel men make a big deal of it. But 'man-flu' was coined solely as a jokey term for a man's cold, precisely because some men DO make a big deal of it. It's not a version of proper flu only contracted by the male of the species.  See, I was agreeing with you, and now you have to start arguing about it, and alienating me. *sigh* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

shoreham4eva   10 #11 Posted January 20, 2011 Even now, after scientific proof women still be-little us and make mockery of a most serious ailment, it's disgraceful, I just phoned a solicitor to make a claim for discrimination against the whole world-wide female population but they told me to politely pee off and slammed the phone down on me, and it was a woman who I spoke to  I hurt severely lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
