Equality in the workplace is all well and good until women in general stop whining and start proving their worth. Having worked in the city for many years, yes there is sexism, and general tulipty comments, but ignore it and get on with it. If you bail out and decide to sue then it just puts the rest of us back where we started. I know people should not have to put up that sort of behaviour but that's the industry for you.Last edited by norrahe; 26 June 2011, 18:14.Comment

But that's the point. Women should not have to prove their worth any more than men should. Why is it we (men and women) view female traits as negative? No-one wants their son to be described as 'a bit girly' but it's fine to say your daughter is a tom-boy - more than fine, it's a positive characteristic. Nothing wrong with a bit of banter, but it's the underlying, deeply ingrained attitudes that need changing. Agree that sueing is rarely the answer, but to dimiss women as 'whining' isn't doing any of us any favours.Comment
