continue................
One very serious change which highlights my point, has been the structure of many physical activities in the work place. One of the many sinister and devious changes that was made to accommodate women in jobs they were not meant to be in was, the good ole' cement bags. All of a sudden after a lifetime of handling 20kg cement bags we are told that for health and safety reasons we are changing to 10kg bags. Bulsh!t! Just another lie to accommodate women, and this became the theme throughout the work place. I don't see why being a woman is such a bad thing, and why being a man is better than a woman is so desirable. There are a growing number of guys who have taken on the role of Mr MOM, because it's such a bludge. They're hanging out with the guys more and are really enjoying the stress free and relaxed, lay back lifestyle, being a stay at home dad allows. I for one see it as ducking your responsibility, the carer nurturer role IS by nature that of the mother. She creates the baby, she has the means to feed it, NATURALLY, she is the one with the maternal bond, naturally. So you can't see men and women as anything but different. As far as education goes, if we are being honest, there should be more domestics in the female curriculum, and more trades in the males. The two are as distinctly different as should be their upbringing and education. Posted by ALTRAV, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 7:17:23 AM

A little story some might enjoy.
My son who is even more chauvinistic than me was managing the overhaul of a 6000 horse power generator on a navy ship. The big diesel had 6 cylinder heads, quite heavy, which were sent off for machining. Mechanics in the RAN are still called stokers, & some are female. Needless to say, he does not approve of female stokers. He detailed 6 stokers, 2 to a cylinder head to get the things onto road transport. This entailed about 75 metres of passageways, & climbing 4 decks, up companionways rather like ladders, to the main deck, then down off the ship. He chose the 6 he considered the least useful at mechanical tasks for this job, which included the 2 female stokers who in his opinion he was saddled with. As in civy street, ladies are allowed to lift less weight than men, & needed a block & tackle to lift a head. Each of the male pairs took about 3 hours to complete moving a cylinder head onto a truck. The 4 men had 5 cylinder heads off the ship in that day. Not so the girls. they had only managed 2 decks. He could be called a sadistic bugger, but he left them at it for the 3 days it took them to get the thing off the ship. He could not tell me if he was just being sadistic, or showing to senior officers that in his opinion girls had no place in the engine rooms of war ships. He did state, that while they were mucking with the cylinder head, they at least couldn't muck up anything important. Posted by Hasbeen, Wednesday, 31 July 2019 12:31:53 PM

Hasbeen,
I love it, you are another of my heroes, having the guts or balls to say things I thought I would be the only one politically incorrect enough to say. May your God bless you. And what makes your story such a headliner is that it's true, priceless. More of these "TRUTHS" and we will start to see the "house of females", crumble, under the sheer weight of the 'push back' by men AND women who are sick and tired of the unnatural demands by ignorant, petulant, maggots, pushing these unreasonable and unrealistic demands. C'mon guys, and gal's, give us some reality checks, regail us with stories and excerpts of incidents where females have failed at something they clearly were not adept at.

Equal does not mean identical. Boy and girl, man and woman are by no means identical. They are not the same. They are different. They are complementary and equally important. They should have equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities – not necessarily the same but not necessarily different either – depending on their personal dispositions, qualifications and availability. As I see it, the so-called lack of gender-equality in the workplace is largely due to the lack of “availability” of women. They continue to assume their first and foremost role as mothers in the reproduction process and as the primary on-going carers and educators in their families. Conciliating this role with important professional responsibilities requires a good dose of intelligence, organisation skills, strict discipline and expensive quality assistance from a reliable outside source. Women, of course, also have to deal with surreptitious and insidious discrimination simply because they are seen as the “weaker sex” by a certain number of macho conservatives and misogynists. They rarely succeed in breaking through the glass ceilings that secure executive level leadership positions in the hands of Caucasian males. And yet, females accounted for 58% of all domestic students enrolled in Australian Universities in 2016. The ratio is 100 females to only 72 males. The proportion of female postgraduates is higher than for undergraduates, accentuating the imbalance. Of the 42 universities in Australia 35 have more female than male students with two having more than 70% females. The gender gap is a worldwide phenomenon with the OECD reporting that women now account for 56% of students enrolled in higher education. There are more domestic undergraduate female students than males in 7 of designated 10 fields of education. The concentration is in three fields : society and culture, health, management and commerce. Males are dominant in only two fields, information technology, engineering and related technologies at both the undergraduate and postgraduate levels. This is the norm globally. The longer-term consequences for Australian society of this imbalance are considered to be serious and include potentially major cultural and wealth distribution changes. . (Continued …) .

(Continued …) . While there is every good reason to celebrate strong female participation in higher education, further proactive strategies are required to encourage more males to complete year 12 studies and attend universities. If not, Scott Morrison’s fustian wish that “the rise of women should not come at the expense of men”, though it sounds quite admirable, will become an extremely difficult objective to achieve indeed : http://www.sbs.com.au/news/scott-morrison-says-the-rise-of-women-should-not-come-at-the-expense-of-men .

There's no doubt that there are differences between males and females, always has been, always will be.
Those too gutless to admit it will come to regret their stance in the long run.
Nature does not allow people to be anything other than what they are at birth.
Nature has bestowed the miracle of creating life on the female of the species, as the norm.
We can deny and convince ourselves of many things but nature brings us back to the truth.
We are told that women 'have to work' today.
Bullsh!t!
Women have been lied to by week and unrealistic, patronising family and friends so as to give them a false sense of being.
It's very simple, if women truly did not want to work, they don't have to.
For example, instead of buying a house which is clearly un-affordable, don't.
Let's face it all the problems facing the younger generation today are of their own doing.
This begins from a young age.
Instead of steering our kids towards what is natural and achievable, we encourage the stupid and sometimes extreme challenges which are akin to defying nature.
There is no social or other reason or need for things like female mechanics, plumbers, carpenters and the list goes on.
Females have a place in life, it's just not that of men, that place is already taken.
It is basically arrogant and petulant to want to do jobs NATURALLY intended for men.
The more physical jobs are pretty much self explanatory.
It is unnatural for a female to be a mechanic, it has nothing to do with brains.
I once, whilst visiting a mechanic friend, observed him taking on a young female as a mechanic.
The one thing I went away with was every time some strength was needed for lifting something or anything, she had to call one of the guys to do it.
NO, stupid people and the very ones who are leading females up the garden path, promote the 'women can do anything' mantra.
