uptherebels Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I had a rare experience on the tube a couple of years ago. Gave up my seat for a young lady who told me (in a loud voice) not to "patronise" her. Won't happen again except for an older lady (or gentleman) for that matter. Bit embarassing to say the least. I knew it was game over for me, when on a day out in London, an attractive twentysomething year old offered me her seat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger Woods? Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 You speak the truth there. The only person in my office who complains about the cold? Claire. How does he cope with being called "Claire" all the time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AuntJess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 So do mine.The difference being I'm still in the game and you aren't. So which subject do you lecture in, or do you consider yourself an authority on every specialism going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She sounds a really silly bitch to reject someone's courteous offer. There are a few females like that around. Usually dress like men or very dowdily, with no make-up or 'feminine' attire. This kind of bra burner' is nowt to do with equal rights, but are a kind of woman with a bee in her bonnet about men.They aren't alone. Some men have a bee in THEIR bonnet about women.

It is particularly irritating when, like me, you hold the door open on an equal opportunities basis. Ah well sod 'em, I'll hold the door open at them if I want to.

Guest AuntJess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 They are called Lesbians Jess. There you go again with the generalisations. I well remember a student refering to a colleague of mine as a lesbian. when I stared in amazement at him he said - with that rare insight that pencil necks assume they have - " you see! I am right! You can't deny it" I wasn't denying it, 'cos I was amazed. Amazed that the reasons he gave - no wedding ring - wore slacks and had her hair tied back in a pony tail - were ludicrous. She has no wedding ring cos she was cohabiting ...with a MALE, so not married. Her hair was tied back as she had a physically active teaching role. Wore slacks 'cos they are quicker to dress in, in the morning, and she drove a LONG way to work. I could make a generalisation here and say "Gee you guys, you really have keen insight, don't you?", but I don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest AuntJess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Right, so we all know now to avoid the women who look like real people, just be safe with the pretty sugar dolls instead. Point taken. I am not against women who don't 'frill up and powder up", just women who are generally surly who seem to go out of their way to look as unpresentable as possible. I reckon it says summat about their self- esteem, same as the OTHER end of the spectrum, the "trowelled on" makeup and OTT approach to looking presentable. "Moderation in all things", eh?

Guest AuntJess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 For them wot feel aggrieved abvout women and their cushy? lifestyle. The latest UNESCO Report on the Gender Gap paints a gloomy picture. Globally women between the ages of 15 and 44 are more likely to be maimed or die as the result of male violence that through cancer, malaria, traffic accidents or war combined; about half of all women who are killed worldwide die at the hands of their partner; 80 % of all war refugees are women and children. Two-thirds of the world's illiterates are women ; fewer girls than boys attend school; in developing countries three times more boys than girls enter tertiary education. Most of the world's 1.2 billion poor are women; world wide women average less than 78% of men’s wages, even in developed countries. One third of all women have to support and bring up their children alone, without the benefit of a second family income. Women suffer more unemployment than men and are discriminated against regarding job promotions. Women are underrepresented in governments, political parties and at the international bodies; world wide, women have only a 15% representation in democratic Houses of Parliament. While the immediate causes of such discrimination lie in the social and cultural field, discrimination is often deeply anchored in religious traditions.

mitchbux Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Allow me to pop your laughable bubble of delusion: yes, some women have broken new ground in academia, some women, but they are in the minority compared to men.If women are as clever and creative as men, then why do female snooker players not play beside men at the crucible? Why are there few female chess grandmasters? Why have more men than women won the Man Booker prize for fiction? Too busy cleaning the loo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest AuntJess Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Too busy cleaning the loo Don't you just love some of the male logic on here, MB? If women are ahead of men, then they are being helped or favoured in some way. if men are ahead of women, it is down to their natural superiority. A "heads I win - tails you lose" scenario. With THAT kind of reasoning it is easy to see why the mainly MALE MPs make a complete hash of things - this country's economy for one. Takes a lass to balance a budget.

I reckon it says summat about their self- esteem, same as the OTHER end of the spectrum, the "trowelled on" makeup and OTT approach to looking presentable."Moderation in all things", eh? Actually, it's the smile that's the dead giveaway whether someone is a nice person or not and what the level of their self-esteem is. There are a lot of issues that keep women from looking 'nice' in the conventional sense -- especially when she isn't easy to dress(ie. a body with a collection of sizes or just as bad, needing 'short' sizes, which are rarely on sale, etc), so often there is no point in trying when the result after much work is just as unpresentable as the original outfit. Btw, any good tailor will tell you that it's not so much colour and style that makes an outfit look good, but, how well it fits decides how well you wear it, which in turn creates the overall effect. Interestingly so, most guys don't really notice their gal's outfit that much, it's the other women who do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of blokes I know are very much of the less is more brigade. But most of all with perfume - god almighty wimmen it's like chemical warfare in the lift some days. We have one lady where, I swear to god, if she has walked down the corridor in the last hour you can smell her perfume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
