'Unemployable sperm donors'

That's what men have become, says BBC newsreader Michael Buerk.
"Life is now being lived according to women's rules", he told the Radio Times. "The traits that have traditionally been associated with men - reticence, stoicism, single-mindedness - have been marginalised.

"The result is that men are becoming more like women. Look at the men who are being held up as sporting icons - David Beckham and, God forbid, Tim Henman."

The former Nine O'Clock News presenter, who now reads the news on BBC World, said some changes have been for the good, but asked: "What are the men left with?"

Hmmm. I wonder how Buerk's more-PC-than-thee employers will react to his comments?
