And love the earth and woman power and I'll be over here

Highly annoying article in the Guardian’s Family supplement about the general mysticnessness of families with three sisters. I can’t say, as the eldest of such, that I have ever known anyone mention our super special female symbolism, as opposed to the traditional response to three daughters, which was not “Respect, mystic triangle power”, but “Were you trying for a boy?” followed by jocular comment about a father’s position in a female-dominated household, to which my mother would reply with a certain gritted teeth politeness that, no, they had always planned to have three children, and my father that actually he would rather not have sons, as a strong argument in favour of having three daughters was the lack of societal expectation that he spend Saturday afternoons freezing to death next to a football pitch.

Is anyone else utterly unamused by the "poll" for a male co-presenter for Woman's Hour for (Allegedly!)Comic Relief? I'm sure the only reason that Andy Hamilton's winning couldn't possibly be that he's the only one of the three who is not overtly misogynist. Nope, not a sense of humour bypass on my part I think.
