Poor Michael. You do have a hard time with the women. Love the way you have done the hands in a kind of negative painting style, makes them look as if they are trying to devour you. Very clever.

Thanks for kind comments Carole. I like to challenge the stereotype. I think it's important. I don't deny that the usual view is that men chase women but, in my experience of life at least, genuinely, I found that it's women who force themselves on men just as much, if not more. Male/female relationships are just one (mischievous) example of a broader view of challenging stereotypes. Just my view of course.

Thanks Gudrun and Louise.

Very powerful image

Oh no Michael.....when will they leave you in peace! Great idea, very effective.

Thanks Fiona. It's a living hell for me.
