Interesting article.

Opinions?

Hmmm, interesting.

Did the City bankers quoted in Ms Platell's article have a good record of employing women in senior positions before Ms Harman's legislation?

Some women must learn to take on board that a women's primary purpose is to bear children for the continuation of the human race, and that this becomes of primary importance than that of reaching dizzy heights in commerce.

Until such times when it becomes possible for the male of the species to have children, then there is always going to be this ongoing argument regarding the equality of the sexes.

Obviously a woman has the choice of becoming a career woman, that is her choice, but if she expects to hop from one to the other at her whim, then she must also expect that this course has it's own particular drawbacks.

You think you're qualified to decide on what a woman's primary purpose is do you? AOG

ROTFLMAO

[anotheoldgit]

Instead of rolling on the floor jake, perhaps you would only be too pleased to tell us all what you think women's primary purpose is?

You know, I just thought it was important that women primary purpose was to have children or the human race would end up like the dinosarrs, what could be more primmary than that?

But then I could be wrong, so I await your reply.

AOG

You are more qualified talking about dinosaurs, than how women should live their lives.

[anotheoldgit]

Answering for Jake again are we Gromit?

Since it seems Jake is otherwise engaged, perhaps you would oblige us with the answer to, "what is Women's primary purpose"?

AOG,

For someone so worried about how the UK's resources are coping with its growing population, you seem strangely keen on retaining a financial incentive for females to reproduce, rather than pursue a career.

I cant stand Amanada Platell - something about her - reminds me of the dislike I have for eating Brussel Sprouts and Broccoli .

I used to work with a chap - his favourite line was that Women should be barefoot , pregnant and around the kitchen sink . I never knew if he was being serious or not .

AOG - I suppose you also think that women should walk 30 paces behind their menfolk .
