    Age of equality

    Before people rip into me, this is a question.
    Some 10 years back I told my wife that my father would be doing
    Somersaults in his grave.
    Wife said why, I said I fancy the postman.
    Now I ask ,only because I haven't seen.
    How many of you ladies work on the refuse wagons ?
    or is a. possible that a team of might upset the system by doing a round 1 hour less than the male team.
    Only asking.

    To clarify, the “postMAN” you said you fancied was a postWOMAN? Firstly, very disrespectful to your wife if you did tell her you fancied someone else. I would have got rid of you there and then. Just heard Mary Berry say on TV that the secret to a HAPPY marriage is respect. I totally agree with her. With regard to any women working an hour less than men if they worked as refuse collectors, why would that be? I have never seen any women refuse collectors myself - maybe Sefton Council need to look at why they only appear to employ men. I am sure plenty of women would be willing to do the job.

    By the way, I remember postwomen in the 80’s - a girl I went to school with became one, so if you only noticed women doing the job in 2008 you need to get out more.

    So narrow minded some people are . I work hard , I don't deal
    with money I watch on the side lines.
    Reality , in most cases women are extremely good at dealing with
    finances.

    You didn’t just look at the opposite sex and have an opinion though did you, you told your wife you fancied another woman. Maybe your wife does the same back, who knows, but if she doesn’t, then it is very disrespectful. I am not surprised you don’t know how to show respect to women if you were brought up in a home where the idea of a woman delivering the post as a job was so unthinkable.

    Most of us have always worked hard - what has that got to do with anything?

    By the way, if you aren’t happy to be criticised for your sexist comments don’t post them on online forums.

    Wow , what a bunch of simpletons you are. As for respect you guys must have spent a lot of time in some institution.
    Do you not communicate with your partners.
    So I really can't be bothered continuing this thread.
    The original question was are there any ladies working on the
    refuse wagons?

    I think the description suits you more. So communicating with your partner means telling them you fancy other women? Wow, what a lucky woman your wife must be. Typical of men like you to call women names just because they call you out on your sexist comments. I pity your poor wife. As for your your original question, it did ask if any women worked as refuse collectors but also questioned whether the team was upset with women working one hour less. Why do you assume women refuse collectors would work an hour less than the men?

    Argument?? It wasn't an argument just the normal "YOU" expecting everybody to assume they have been told off because they, like many others, don't agree with you. I pity your husband whatever sex he is.

    No doubt you'll come back with your usual labels because we are not as perfect as you.

    Might have known you would comment to defend sexist attitudes towards women. In your case, if you didn’t like being called homophobic or a bully - simple, don’t post homophobic comments or try to bully people online. Must have killed you to only put one word in capitals then. I would say that once the other man started calling us names such as tosser, simpletons and saying we must have been in institutions did make it into an argument - it wasn’t a discussion as he wouldn’t discuss the content of his post. Read it again!
