    You speak from experience?

    You can earn a bit being a 'male escort' but you have to keep yourself fit and be happy to shag munters

    suits me down to the ground!

    That's a deep burn SASGuru... did you think of that one all by yourself? Your insults are improving.

    Just in case your feeble mind didn't grasp it, the gender pay gap is wrong and needs to be closed.
    But it's definitely not going to be closed by creating a new one in the opposite direction.

    I know it's hard for you to grasp, but give it time. It seems that brain needs time to process or produce good things.
    So to summarise you picked on some relatively obscure area where there was an uncharacteristic supposed advantage for women and made a complete issue of it.
    But when pulled up on why that exercises you so much you can't really explain it
    Like most thickos self-knowledge and slef-awareness isn't really your strength, is it?

    Mediocre idiot.

    As Meridian notes, it's interesting that it's this relatively unimportant (and unusual in that it is women benefitting for a change) example that exercises your brain cell.

    Just leave Meridian to aimlessly bump their gums. Nobody has ever taken their tripe seriously, and it is unlikely that they ever will. Suffice it to say that their "issues" have long since put paid to any logical discourse.

    HTH



    No doubt some other lamebrain will be along shortly rallying to that particular simpleton's banner and giving succour to the inane burblings of Meridian.

    When you post a more balanced narrative that fits your professed desire for all pay gaps to be narrowed, and not just the rare example of where women’s pay might be higher than men’s, then perhaps I’ll respect your argument more.

    Vetran has a far better argument than you do, and he’s thick as mince.
    Crap, are mumsnet members having a forum holiday in contractoruk again?

    Property prices in Edinburgh? Why would I have an interest in that, I don’t have the temperament for it. ;-)

    Normally I would try to be polite and cater to people's preferences, but in your case and special brand of thickness, I'll make an exception. Since you can't read the posts properly, conduct an argument properly, and more than anything, since you are clearly defending a gender based pay gap, I will leave you with one thought...

    You enshrine some unpleasant and very biased views which seem to cloud your ability to read and absorb information or have a civil discussion. At the moment, it's making you an unpleasant person to interact with. If you work on it, you might be able to improve.

    People from Scotland are renowned for their cool temperament (to match the cold climate) and ability to remain well mannered even when confronted with extreme irritants
