Again: women non-productive? as seen by men
« on: May 16, 2018, 12:04:37 PM »
The Bank of England's deputy governor has apologised for saying the UK economy is entering a "menopausal" era.

Ben Broadbent used the phrase in an interview with the Daily Telegraph to describe economies that were, in his words, "past their peak, and no longer so potent".

Apparently, someone told me,
He's not going to get the higher job now for saying that.
Good, I say...... :)

My previous post was a bit O.T.T, I know, I'm sorry,
But it gets me so annoyed that this is sadly what we're up against.
God help his female part of his family..  >:(

You said what I didn't dare suggest  ;D

What was the 'editor' thinking by allowing it to be printed anywhere in the papers.  He obviously has no experience of menopausal women in his shadow  :D
