I just thought in the interest of fairness you'd want to discuss a religion of which you'd be more likely to be a member sprity, I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

I just thought in the interest of fairness you'd want to discuss a religion of which you'd be more likely to be a member sprity, I'll tell you mine if you tell me yours.

I know what religion you are Sydders you have disclosed that to us in the past.
As I said this is about you and your women’s equality bandwagon, I have given you an example that affects hundreds of millions but you are a bit reticent now?

There is nothing in the Muslim holy book preventing Men and women from praying together it’s an equality issue, come on Sydders sort it?

[SydneyRover]

I guess you and others will be chaining yourselves to the railings of the club demanding that they stay steadfast in their wisdom and keep women members out spurty?

Sorry to disappoint the only clubs I have ever been a member of are Balby bridge club, York Bar, the Graceholme club and The Bomb at Woodlands,
If the Garrick club closed tomorrow I would’ve shed a tear!

I think that Mohammed treated women as equals and respected in their own right. Later men, Imams etc decided that men were more powerful and women were 2nd class citizens.

Female Premier League football manager pushes (assaults) male and then has he audacity to say she doesn't like male aggression. Wow. Attack the males attack the males

Good morning gentlemen or should I say .............

''The club’s committee passed a motion to accept new legal advice clarifying that the pronoun “he” should be seen as interchangeable with “she” in law, so the club’s rules already permit women to join''

Sydney if I change my pronouns to “she/her” should the WI let me in?

[SydneyRover]

You could wait and see if the sky falls in nc

I think what a lot of men are missing is that if we get the smartest of women in the top positions the country will benefit as a whole. Having exclusive blokey clubs ends up with mates looking after mates.

What barriers exist at present for smart women getting in to top roles in this country?

(I’m not necessarily saying there isn’t I’m just picking your brains and we’ll go from there)

As deputy possibly, but she wasn't an elected leader.

Acting Leader twice after Brown and Miliband

[Sprotyrover]

Labour Party and women! They alright in the concert room but aren’t allowed in the Bar

If you want the honest truth I couldn't care less which gender rises to the top of politics , it should always be about ability and nothing else .

My point is the party of identity politics haven't a particularly good record in their own back yard .

[SydneyRover]

That's maybe part of the problem those that couldn't care less

[SydneyRover]

Ere' dad, I didn't get that job on the civil service I wanted ..............

I couldn't .........

Meritocracy is the only game in town Syd , that's the reality of real life .

[SydneyRover]

I support meritocracy but at present the house is stacked against women. I'm trying to show that it is important that if several people apply for a position and are equally qualified it shouldn't matter whether you are female, male or which school you went to for that matter, all should have equal opportunity.

Have you any evidence to support your view that women aren’t being given equal opportunities Syd.
