the Weinstein cover ups are bad enough . . . if Corey Feldman can provide evidence of his allegations they may not be many more award ceremonies from they can signal their virtue

If he survives long enough....

If Mike Pence can’t go on a business trip and keep his hands to himself, I tend to think that’s his problem and not the women’s.

The point is that Mike Pence makes sure he's never alone with a woman in order to prevent spurious complaints about his behaviour. It's a societical problem.

Woohoo - you may not be sexist, but if it were shown that you'd not taken on a woman because "she might get pregnant", then you'd be liable for prosecution under the sex discrimination act. So, under law, you are sexist.

I'm not doubting the number of women in senior positions nor saying its a bad thing. There are more Mike Pences cropping up as a result of an overdone and overexploited #metoo movement.

I do believe that if more women held senior positions in government and business the world would be a more peaceful place. And not just the Hillary Clintons and Victoria Nulands...

I agree that men should be who they want to be without conforming to being 'nice guys'.

Somehow I’ve managed to go on dozens of business trips with female colleagues, had business dinners and drinks, and not fallen all over their tits.

But what kind of men do they really want us to become?

Because last time I checked they like being looked at and appreciated and desired, and emasculated, subservient, whipped men are not really much good to anyone.

I am looking to hire the best person for my plan B.

Plan B is a brothel.

Sex robot, cheaper in the long run, especially if you use solar to charge the batteries.

I would hire the best person for the job. Though I have to admit if my business was depending on this person then I would think about the prospects of that person having a baby.

Sexist!!!

Yeah but that's the reality of it. Even where a business is likely to go under they can't fire a pregnant member of staff and hire another person. Which is fair and correct, totally with this. But if it was my business...defo in the back of my mind.

I'm not sexist, honestly. If i had a business that could carry a few prego hippos for a year or two whilst making a profit for my bros then all for women getting banged up.

Just make sure you don't offend the wrong person....

[woohoo]

So if you are a chap and plan B was taking off and you had to make a hire. You and that person in an office on your own, would you hire a female?

Could very easily put stress on home life.

The obvious answer is to put chemical castration drugs in drinking water.

PS Maybe not, we'd all be drinking vodka instead.

I don't agree with much of this, sorry. I think we will find the numbers of women in high places increasing within the next few years as they come through. The majority of my male friends are with someone that earns more money than them - they also congratulate themselves on it - yes I know if a man did the same but that's life.

They are very active in encouraging other women for promotion etc. There are loads of women events and business is done through these.

I don't believe women stop wars, if you think that then you don't know women very well. I also think the men and women that crave and achieve these positions of power are a breed apart.

Men should be what they want to be, you don't conform to how someone else wants you to be - start off by being nice would be a bloody great help to the world.

they're the ones they marry (and screw over).

[woohoo]

That's where it's heading already. We're seeing men avoid situations where they are alone with female colleagues (eg Mike Pence) to protect themselves from potential allegations. So if a male boss has to choose who to take on a business trip - or to who to mentor, or take on as an assistant - they are going with lower risk. This is happening in America now.

I get that there is a hell of a lot of (very justified) anger coming out from centuries/millennia of patriarchy and we desperately need more female influence in order to survive as a species (less war, mindless consumption/destruction of the planet in the name of profit). But what kind of men do they really want us to become?
