FACT: when you sign up to any job you do not expect to be treated differently on account of your sexuality
FACT: Females are constantly treated more favourably in all walks of life.
FACT: In the forces they are never asked to fight on the front line.
FACT: When employed in a manual situation, they are not asked to take on any task that a male could manage on his own with no problem, a male colleague is generally ask to "give her a hand"
FACT: Females are more likley to receive much lenient sentences from the courts.
FACT: The female Sailor in the Iranian waters boat fiasco was treated much more favourable than her male companions.
Equallity of the sexes is obviously a good thing, but like most things these days the pendulum of balance has swung too far, in favour of the female.
These over the top compansation awards are a prime example. We have recently heard of the civillian female Royal Air Force clerk who was awarded a very large sum, for a wrist injury.
The following case is also a prime example, put yourself in this business man's shoes. Would you now employ a female of child bearing age, when in the end it could cost you your very livelihood?

Regarding Oneeyedvic's post:
She is therefore entitled to more compensation than someone who loses a life. (not my rules but then I am not stupid enough to join the army
What can one say? It is good that some choose to join the Army, just as it is good that some choose to be Policemen, Ambulance personal, Fire Fighters, Nurses, Doctors etc, etc.
Let us hope that such as Oneeye does
