Our thanks to Ellie Slee, our favourite HuffPo contributor, for recent publishing a piece (link below) in which she confesses to loathing all human contact, and being incapable of operating a supermarket self-checkout till. Neither confession will surprise you any more than it surprises us, we imagine. Enjoy:

She also says in the piece she’s a member of ‘Wolf Whistled’ http://twitter.com/wolf_whistled. This group of cheerful women describes itself thus:
Wolf Whistled is a forum of 800+ young women who make noise, exchange ideas, rant, ask questions, solve problems, swap articles and thrash out female issues.
We look forward to hearing from Ellie or another of the other 800+ geniuses just how many problems they’ve solved, and female issues they’ve thrashed out. Being the target of wolf whistling can’t be a problem faced by many gender feminists, I think we can all agree, unless sarcastic wolf whistling has suddenly become popular. Maybe belonging to this group of women is just her way of saying:
Look, I’m a feminist, but not the sort with a weight problem, hairy legs, or a beard, yeah?
We eagerly look forward to Miss Ellie’s next gem on HuffPo.
Yes she must be a real genius at ‘problem solving’ if she can’t manage to operate a supermarket self-checkout.
