Re: Russ is sexist.

Men go in the Library and smoke cigars and drink brandy or port. While women have the kids and do the knitting and needlecraft. Sounds good to me bring it all back.:D

Berating an entire section of the population because of their sex is like deriding a section of the population because they are coloured, foreign, of reduced IQ, homeless, jobless or even Welsh.... we can all have the occasional laugh at them but we know that at some point someone [B]will[B] take offense, especially if we carry on doing it regularly and persistently ;)

My Paul wouldn't grumble about our local library if it was like that (he ends up going to one 15 miles away cos they seem to have a better choice for him, says they are all "womens" books at the nearby one).

She spoke a LOT of sense in to me and it seems I've not even been aware of it - until now.

Apologies to anyone who has been offended by a sexist comment which I've put forward as a joke, and I can assure you I have not intentionally been sexist.

So you are institutionally sexist. We'll have to set up a committee to look into this you know.

You'd definitely get a slap if you kept on telling sexist jokes about Welsh people. Not from Russ either..

Don't worry Russ,
offer her a candle lit dinner at a romatic restaurant, followed by a trip to see a weepy film, and you'll go from sexist to sexiEst in no time flat. :)

Re: Russ is sexist.

I think it's worth pointing out that we seem to have gone so far down the sexual equality path that some have seem to have forgotten that men and women are actually different...and not equal in that respect. Equal in terms of status, sure but not equal as in the same.

Therefore pointing out differences either with humour or in a serious way is fine, depending on what and how it is said of course.

Let's recognise differences, promote equal status and be polite but let's not lose our ability to laugh at each other.
