Here’s a quick update from the gender frontline, so please pay attention.

You may have noticed that, alongside the protests about what women and men can still do separately (eg, swimming in Hampstead Ponds), there’s a growing list of things that men may no longer do at all, while women still can.

Yes, somewhat confusingly, there is now often one rule for Them and another rule for Us – although maybe we’re only half way through the recalibrations. Anyway, here’s the list of Yes We Cans (But No You Can’t), so far.

Poldarking

Or objectifying men. This one is in the news again because series four airs next month and Poldark is a seasonal reminder that, when it comes to ogling and objectifying the opposite sex, there’s now one rule for women (Go ahead! Rewind the scything scene!) and another for men (Eeew, creepy loser).

Poldarking – as openly leching after men’s physical attributes is now known – is nothing new but, with Poldark, it became something women do with pride, in men’s faces, in the knowledge that the male equivalent is now unacceptably unwoke and embarrassing.
