What sort of hideous government is this.!

Women are 100% more likely to get time off from work for period pain.
Women are more likely to get time off for looking after little tarquin when he has tummy ache
Women are 100% going to get 100% pay longer than men when a child is born
100% of Women are going to get more paid maternity than men
And until recently women were allowed to retire 5 years earlier than men.
So if you add everything up and take into account all of those hours off that you get away with you probably earn more than a man per hour in the same job.
And when you get "equality" you dont like having the same retirement as men -- as Pete would say "think on"

I think I tried that reasoning on Mrs Mottie once and she reminded me that it’s generally the women and not the men who, when they get home from their jobs, do the cooking, cleaning, washing, ironing, shopping, childminding etc etc.

She summed it up with two words too and they weren’t "think on".

You are already contributing here, as are others. No need to start a new thread.

You ask "How so", then when I explain, you reply with a rant mostly based around the biological functions of women...

So my giving out facts - you think is a rant. None of what I say is wrong. You moan about equal pay without doing the Math.

Only if you are still living in the 1950s
And if she wants a fight about it who does the car maintenance, cuts the grass- house maintenance, how many women are on this DIY site asking how to fix the roof - I think there are only 2. Its a team effort and neither should be keeping count.

Did you ask a question relevant to DIY ? Sorry I missed that.

Apology accepted.
To err is human, to forgive is divine.
