As I saw pointed out on twitter, her husband wrote oneAnd there is another wierd thing. She says she knows of no books written about men's feelings or boys growing into men.
That tracks. Can absolutely imagine her being too self absorbed to know what her husband is actually writing, I think she believes she's the talent?As I saw pointed out on twitter, her husband wrote one
I find her expressions in photos so infuriating. Shut yer gob!I came across her in the noughties and your description of her ‘broadcasting at’ people rather than actually engaging with them is spot on @coolcapitalist
And that was 20 odd years ago before she got her column at The Times - can only imagine how much worse she’s got since!

Love Kathleen Stock
That's it exactly. We live in strange times where a lot of people think you must either love or hate every single thing a person does, no in between. I mean, one of the reviews said there were 5 funny writers and CM is one of them. They even praised how to be a woman. So it's not like that reviewer dislikes her overall, they just think the book is a load of nonsenseHas 'the tide turned against' her though, or is she just getting some deservedly crap reviews for a crap book she's churned out?
I think it’s the fact that she’s always taken her own narrow world view and applied it to everything, and it’s only now it’s getting noticed by so many people.Has 'the tide turned against' her though, or is she just getting some deservedly crap reviews for a crap book she's churned out?
Moran said on Fi Glover’s and Jane Garvey’s podcast yesterday that five years ago no one was talking about the menopause. She seems unable to fathom that just because she hasn’t heard something discussed, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t been or isn’t beingHer easily disprovable wrong sweeping statements, about men and women, just don't do her any favours. And make her whole thesis seem so flimsy.
It's hard reading a book, even if there are good bits when you are thinking 'well that's just wrong'.
I think it is in the Stock review where she points out the plethora of podcasts men do now talking about both mental health and parenting. Russell Brand, Josh Widdecombe and several others all have 'Dad' podcasts. I know they are celebrities but the podcasts must have general appeal or they wouldn't survive.
Too often it is easy to think of many exceptions to her rule of 'NO MEN do xyz which is why I, a gobby tired woman, am having to'.
It would be like a well meaning man saying 'no women talk about the menopause as it is still so taboo so I will' while numerous people are scratching their heads, showing examples going 'eh?' as the man blunders on 'no no I'm the expert here - I've discovered the problem'.
This isn't even covering the hundreds of examples of coming of age books, films, TV programmes about boys I'm sure we can all think of that I expect Moran reckons simply don't exist. And also ones where the relationship between male FRIENDS is portrayed sensitively. One of the most important programmes I watched when my daughter was small was Thirtysomething - and that was in the 80s.
(Sorry this got long. She annoys me so much that once I start I can't stop with 'oh and another thing.....')

I like their podcast but had to give that one a swerve when I saw she was on it.Moran said on Fi Glover’s and Jane Garvey’s podcast yesterday that five years ago no one was talking about the menopause.

I don’t like their new gig as much as I did Fortunately. Maybe I’m misremembering but with Fortunately the guests were just on to chat and were rarely promoting anything, whereas the new podcast all the guests are promoting something. I guess it’s because the interviews are just cut from their radio show.I like their podcast but had to give that one a swerve when I saw she was on it.
