It';s great they are doing this 100 year celebration, but the strong, "women are better than men", "women are superior" message is quite bad considering all the new stories about under 30 male suicide being on the up.It kind of makes males feel like ****. I felt excluded from the atmosphere, it was like watching a longer Loose Women episode,.
Now, imagine had a male in his VT said "well, men are superior to women".... how different that will go down.
It's just so hypocritical.

Just to pick up on this, yes it is awful that suicides in men are on the rise, but suicide attempts are pretty much 50/50. Just men chose more violent methods so are successful more often
Women tend to go with pills and such that can be sorted if found in time. where men will shoot themselves or something...where there is no chance of saving really.
As for the OP, I wouldn't mind an all male launch. Honestly most of my faves tend to be men anyway. They couldn't really do it as 'X years of men having X' though as men have had it all for ever
