General Chat

All of my professional life since I rose far enough in the hierarchy to hire 'n fire I have always hired women when available - not always possible in engineering and I.T. AND made sure they were paid the going rate.

Why? 'cos they look better ? Although that is true the reasons are more prosaic.

Women work much harder, they are more reliable and by and large don't go overmuch for office politics and empire building. They don't get plastered at lunchtime and get back late. By and large their maths tends to be better than the guys but they are too polite to let it show overmuch.

I have no idea why so many men believe that women at work are in some way inferior - it sure is an expensive mistake!

The difference between the Pringle sweater wearing brigade / masons and out and out a-h- is only one of degree.

You lot need to get a more rewarding hobby.

and specs :-D

I read in Google news that he is attacking Newcastle in particular in his current blog, and is trying to organise some sort of rally this weekend for like-minded bigots including threats to any woman who tries even to observe them. Not that I want to give them any publicity! but the police have said they will be watchful for any trouble

Supercrutch :-)

Yes I was referring to IS, which is why I said parts of Syria

I think as many feminists (both male and female), and other 'unacceptable' women ie, older and sensible, plus any other people who think rape is unacceptable anywhere in society, should picket these bigots.

He's getting the publicity he wants.

But who (other than other manbeasts) would buy his books?

A 'report' from yesterday's 'News Thump' - a seriously satirical online 'paper':

Pro-rape Group Cancels Meeting Because They Might Get Shouted at a Bit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

A group of violently misogynistic b*st*rds has had to cancel an event so that nobody hurts their feelings.

“Return of Kings” is a self-declared “masculinist” group which calls for the legalisation of rape on private property, amongst other things which would make their mothers super-duper proud.

“But now we can’t get together at the weekend because some women are being quite threatening towards us, frankly” said group member and utterly repugnant excuse for a human, Simon Williams.

“One or two of them are threatening to stand outside the meeting and chant things, which is actually a lot like rape if you think about it.

“This is just another example of the rights of men being quashed ever further under the high-heeled stiletto of feminism.

“Or Doc Martens, as most of those d*kes actually wear.

“We should be left to campaign for legalised rape in peace without fear of being violated in this manner.
