Agree. Except I love Yorkies. I’d love to go forward 40 years to listen to what today’s youth are weaponising as outrage on social media channels. No doubt it will be a similar minority hijacking a debate while the majority stand on the sidelines asking, “hey, who’s getting hurt by all this?”...

I’ve just stumbled across this untagged rebuke. I certainly didn’t realise I’d contributed to an avalanche of counter ‘outrage.’ I merely expressed another point of view. I guess that’s outrage now. “I’m sorry. Did you come here for the 5 minute argument?”

Please don’t take offence. I’m merely pointing out that a weight of adverts like this is damaging, and really it’s not our job to find women attractive anymore than it’s their job to find us emotionally immature. You can, by all means call someone pretty. There’s just no need for us to make it...
