This is clearly a case of positive discrimination rather than sexual discrimination.
However, in certain cases positive discrimination can redressed the imbalance caused by years, if not decades or centuries, of blatant discrimination based on sexual or ethnic orientation.
This is an example of one of those cases.
I understand what you are saying Sammy and agree that woman’s struggle against inequality is a noble and justifiable cause but do two wrongs make a right?
Discrimination is discrimination – can it be positive?
I don’t know the answer but it makes me feel uneasy when people talk about positive discrimination. I suppose it’s ok when it’s not you on the receiving end.[/quote]
An entertaining thought Owd Git and a possible discussion leveller.
Just to add one more type of incident that is prevalent within the work place and that is of personnel playing the ‘Race Card’.
In my time in management, when I worked for a living, I had several cases whereupon staff members tried to play this. Unfortunately, for them, I was equipped with the knowledge (and self belief and strength) to deal effectively with them. However, colleagues and others in business would tell me of their experiences of it as well (and they got away with it). Little reported, because of the potential furore and totally and shamelessly used and just as bad a case of any other form of racism.
If the glove were on the other hand, however
I am going to discriminate against the content of this thread and say that it doesn’t belong here! This is the football section!

There are currently 148 female MPs out of 650 seats in the House of Commons.
All-women shortlists are an attempt to make the House look more like society as a whole, ie 50-50, last time I looked.
Now what is wrong with that?
Nothing at all with that, Martin, but not by forcing the issue by all-female lists.
Why are women under-represented? Is it prejudice – in which case tackle it. Is it because of childcare responsibilities? Provide support.
Don’t foist skewed lists on people, instead tackle the real underlying problems that have caused the imbalance.
Well that is a disgusting demonstration of sexual discrimination at its worst.
An open breach of one of the seven strands of discrimination. How on earth do these hypocrites get away with this!!!Its a demonstration of how thick Wigan people are for voting in these two imposters,
Labour are more toty these days than Maggie Thatchers lot back in the 80s.
Tell me, what has Ed Miliband got in common with your average Wiganer?……Absolutely nowt, the bloke is a London centric ponce.
Labour are more toty these days than Maggie Thatchers lot back in the 80s.I don’t think it’s very PC to call Ms Nandy “toty” ;)
It could be brought up in pmq’s tomorrow in that fine institution that is the commons If it does appear in PMQ’s I wouldn’t miss John Bercows’ input for all the tea in China.

Didn’t have Mrs Thatcher down as someone to appoint a female asian MP anyway, never mind anyone who could be construed as toty.

Agreed. More interested in surrounding herself with paedophiles.
True Martin but a more worrying fact is that only 12% of teachers in primary schools are men.Is it now time to block applications for teaching posts in primary schools from women in this rewarding and well paid proffesion?

Indeed Sammy, but it didn’t stop there. The real ‘crimes’ against children were exposed under Blair. Have a read of this little article:
Within this well written expose comes these two little phrases:
“Tony Blair: stifling investigations of paedophiles in his Labour government”
and
“Under Blair’s government paedophiles get off with a slap on the wrist and never seem to suffer the full weight of the law – no shock there then!”
It concludes with a list of disgraced people convicted for horrific offences – I noted the numerous Labour among them. It appears that Thatcher didn’t start the craze but was just a part of it – they were/are all in it together.
Finally, just finished watching that programme on Channel Four 7 called “It’ll be alright in the 70’s” – outrageous by todays standards, however, if Lord Ousley and his cohorts watched it then they would understand context in what has happened recently.

And it didn’t stop at Blair either.
Just the tip of the iceberg, said the woman with a lettuce leaf sticking out of her knickers!
