Title: Again: women non-productive? as seen by men
Post by: CLKD on May 16, 2018, 12:04:37 PM

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
