Dear rehctub,

Thank You for replying honestly.

It is interesting that you don't
have a problem with women in certain positions
yet you still prefer your GP
to be male. And, frankly so do I.

I can't help but wonder - is it that
men in medical professions and the networks
they have developed are so strong that
they actively resist women?

Not sure.

Foxy, I'd like to have a go. This will stir things up a bit.

Right, here goes;

1.M

2.M

3.M

4.Either

5.Either

6.M

7.M

As for your suggestion we having the same rights. NO. Because we are not the same at all.
There is nothing about us that is the same, beginning with our physiological make-up.
And no end of women banging on about being equal and demanding this or that and using the equality mantra, is going to change that.
I strongly suggest to women; be happy with who you are and stop trying to be someone else because of PC and some childish folly. You are a woman. Enjoy!

Foxy I don't think the gender/race/sexual orientation of any of those matter to me as long as they are in the role based on their own skills, not on the basis of one or more of the identity issues being a key factor. Most likely to be an issue for 2 and 3.

Hoping I don't need a heart specialist for a long time.
I have a friend who is a male nurse and have known some in the past.
My hairdresser only seems to employ females but I can't think of any reason to prefer either gender.
I had a female dentist for a while. My now ex didn't much approve of her. Currently a male dentist and female dental hygienist, both great (and both asian)

I've never had a female GP but can't think of any concerns about that.

Have you seen the Jordan Peterson/Kathy Newman interview (or other material on the topic) of the gender pay gap? Or read the James Damore memo? (https://firedfortruth.com/) which I understand is for the most part accepted as being pretty close in regard to the science although some disagree.

Statistically men and women make different choices in all sorts of areas and careers are often one of them. Both in terms of they types of careers we choose and the proportion of our lives we are willing to burn on those careers.

I'm not personally across the research but I gather that the more egalitarian a society is the more people revert to roles and careers associated with their gender. Few of us entirely conform to any pattern for our gender but taken on mass there are recognisable differences that tip some of the numbers.

No woman of child bearing age should be in a position of power affecting National or State security, health or politics etc.

Women are different to men in one vital aspect, Pre-Menstrual Tension.

PMT has been accepted as a defence to murder, therefore those that suffer from it (and it can be any women in the PMT group) should not be in positions of power as above.

Issy, I suppose as an old woman you are past the age of PMS. Oh! for Christs sack, you could be leader of the whole bloody country! What am I saying!

Does that apply to our Queen as well, Is Mise?
