The equal opportunities version is Fleetwood Mac where they all took it in turns to litigate their breakups with each other on the same record
Very much not a meninist whine here, but am intrigued (cf the Lily Allen album) how the woman vengeful and bitter towards her ex album is absolutely seen as fair play but - whilst historically undoubtedly something that did happen - the reverse would be seen as absolutely not on (by me, also, here).

The challenge of energy affordability is very real, but rising block tariffs aren’t the answer. People on low incomes with poorly insulated homes or who need more energy for health reasons could see rising bills, while those with multiple homes or can install solar panels avoid paying a fair share
Ed Miliband has been urged by more than 100 Labour MPs to explore overhauling UK energy bills.
He is understood to be considering a number of options for progressive energy pricing, inc discounts for the least intensive consumers – known as rising block tariffs
