Women! Know your limits!

But wasn't it nice to stay at home all day drinking coffee and being looked after by the men [wooden spoon] [ducking behind sofa]

WE must mix with an unusual group of friends. I cannot think of a single female friend that would not have her say, and be taken notice of (or else).

when I am in full working mode I just hold my head high and look down my nose at the men and with a few well chosen words I make them feel about an inch high, No man will make me feel inferior. I have raised a child, bought property, ran a business and educated myself all without a man.

DD is still coming up against the same attitude particularly from foreign men, mainly from middle eastern countries. They find it very hard to have a mere woman telling them what to do and being in a position of power over them. In some cases they have tried to act as if she and her research don't exist, it doesn't normally take her long to make them see their mistake

Its a common attitude in the north working mens clubs, I hate such places and the women who go are making it worse.

I have met many women here who say things like 'eeh I dare not talk aboot politics to my man', for example.

sadly my DD has a partner like this, when are women going to stick up for themselves, not in my lifetime I fear.

My ex OH was the same.
I think the sketch was made in the 1990s, but he hit on the kind of situation that was real in the 50s and 60s.
Even when I was a student I was usually the only woman in the group and I tended to keep quiet unless I was sure of my ground. And as I've mentioned before, I had wanted to study law, but Dad put me off saying I would never get any clients, because people don't take women seriously.

I certainly remember that attitude, and I remember my mother crying because of it, after a dinner party. She was very unhappy, having a brain and no chance to use it. I also remember cracking jokes and my grandmother telling me to be quiet, men didn't like women to be funny or too clever. Ex OH certainly didn't.

Oh, go on, risk it

If I answer that, I'll be deleted!

LOL probably a good spanking (with any luck)

Oh Pompa where do we start!

Didn't realise the video was a spoof Sounded like good common sense, we let you have the vote, what more do you want ?

I haven't encontered that attitude except perhaps in the sports club I frequented in Kenya where the wives (which I wasn't) sat around gossiping while their husbands stood at the bar - also gossiping.

They did get roundly told off for that.

The video is a spoof. It was laughing at that attitude even when it was made, years ago.

Love it!
Sadly not entirely outdated look at the England Women's football team
" Our Lionesses go back to being mothers, partners and daughters today. But they have taken on another title - heroes" (English Football Association.)
Do they ever say the men's team go back to being fathers, partners and sons?

Oh, I have, nina, many times, but particularly in my younger days. A visitor to the export department where I worked alongside 6 men warned me to watch out, or that lot'd have me talking foreign next. My colleagues struggled to keep straight faces while I explained pretty forcibly that being able to talk foreign was precisely why I was employed there.

I don't think I've ever come across this attitude in real life fortunately .

I don't need to click on the link, I know what it is!
