Several women were arrested this morning following a verbal altercation outside Rochdale’s women’s institute.The women who can’t be named for legal reasons are being held for questioning by Greater Manchester Police under new anti-misandry legislation.

A witness overheard the two women on their way into Shelly B’s cafe on Drake Street and immediately contacted the authorities to report a hate crime.
The women were reportedly overheard discussing how;

“Our Derek never unloads the dishwasher, you know what all men are like.”

The conversation apparently took a worrying turn when the other suspect responded;

“That’s nothing, they’re rubbish at multi-tasking and our Gareth won’t put the toilet seat down. Men, typical.”

We’ll be bringing you more on this as details become clearer.
