Is this a general opinion by blokes or am I just unlucky ??  however I have to say this isn't the first time
BTW I did get his problem resolved with a call back later in the week to see how things are going |
Sadly, despite a lot of effort on the part of many people to promote equality between the sexes, there are still quite a few neanderthals out there who believe that the males are the dominant sex and that only males can do the best job.
Behind every great man, there's usually an even greater woman e.g. his wife, his mother etc and there's probably an equally talented sister but we never got to hear about her because we were living in a male orientated society.
Women are very talented and for the most part go unsung. Modern women are multi-tasking, capable of doing several jobs at once..juggling the role of partner/mother/work colleague/housewife and many other roles. They are proving themselves equally capable in the workplace and in the home.
So don't worry about the neanderthals. One day they will wake up and grow up and take notice of all the things that women are doing to make our society a better place. Maybe, then, women will be more appreciated and respected for what they CAN do and not for what some men THINK they are capable of.
