It's come to my attention that there's an awful lot of sexual stereotyping in Mr Men books. I'm sure their creator Roger Hargreaves was a nice bloke but I think he had some serious problems with women. Maybe his Mother didn't love him enough, or too much... in the not so 'PC' way?

But if you look through the collection of books you get the impression that something's amiss. Mr. Hargreaves has put women into two groups: scary/angry girls and greedy whores. For example, there's Little Miss Scary and Little Miss Angry who clearly fall into the scary/angry category.

What's most disturbing is the greedy whore category where we find Little Miss Greedy and Little Miss Fickle. But alas I'm not even sure what to make of Little Miss Fun who also likes to be Little Miss Quick who later becomes for want of a prophylactic; Little Miss Late.
