Another day, another female-centric drama. Now what? Here's what:
The founder of a controversial Facebook group which invites people to post photographs of women eating on the London Underground said he is considering shutting it down due to the 'toxic hatred' he has received online.
The Women Who Eat On Tubes group, which has more than 21,000 members, has sparked controversy with opponents claiming it encourages people to objectify and humiliate women who are unaware their picture is being taken.
Film-maker Tony Burke, who set up the Facebook page in 2011, has insisted it was created as a 'human observation' that more women ate on the Tube than men and he had not intended to hurt anybody.
I'm not understanding what is so hard for women to understand, anything that you do in public and which is observable by others is not a private activity.
