Examples of Sexual Prejudice

the women's loos problem can easily be overcome. Have more of them! I think it is disgraceful that women almost always have to queue for ages for a pee whereas men can be in and out in no time at all. I do not mind women using the men's cubicles at all in these circumstances. When i go to new venues and see the same number of loos for women as men it makes me mad - it takes women longer to pee, they need more cubicles. Architects - get a life!

I have to hold my hand up and say I am guilty of using the mens when there's a massive queue for the ladies. However, will always ask a male friend to go in first and ask if its oK. And usually by the time in the evening that I resort to that no gent would care if I was female or a rhinocerous. My favourite pub in London, The Princess Louise in Holborn, has the most ridiculous womens loo. The gents is this amazing victorian room but the ladies was obviously added on as an afterthought. You actually have to climb behind the toilet to get the door shut. I suppose all fair enough for very old pubs which were built before women frequented them but no excuse for brand new places with inadequate facilities. That said, some women do spend bloody hours in there - what are they doing? Actually, don't think I want to know.

Men aren't allowed off work when they're pregnant, women are unfair or what?

"Men aren't allowed off work when they're pregnant..." When they're pregnant! I think we need a little talk... I've used some excuses in my time, but I doubt that one would go down too well. ;-)

It's never worked for me, even when people chortle "Hey Flash when's it due? ha!ha!" Management usually a bit sceptical when excuse is offered. Why is there a picture of Missi on the front page? He looks better than imagined.

Mate of mine (male, even) says women are allowed to shoplift whilst pregnant. It's th 'ormones, see...

yeah yeah yeah, those bloody moaning whores again!

No need for nastiness, George.

It was meant to be humourous Andrea. Sorry I got it wrong again.

Don't be nasty to Andrea, George. She lives in Holland and thus she is a littl bit more sensitive. The poor love :-)

How about this then: On the building site where I now work (I no longer work as a cabbie), all the guys have to wear long trousers. There are currently about 500 men on a daily basis on this site, and they're not allowed to wear shorts in hot weather because some of the apartments have already been sold. Yet the girls can go bare legged from just above the knee to ankle. Apart from the fact tat I would much rather see a girl's leg than a hairy-arsed builders, that seems extremely prejudical to me.

Your original scenario is difficult, because women don't use urinals, and are therefore used to urinating in a private space: so you can't really turn the situation on its head. I will say, I used to go to a club where the male toilets were so disgusting, I refused to use them. I used the female toilets, and I found the young ladies very accomodating...NO, not in that way, but they weren't in the slightest bit bothered. Now, if I'd walked in on them in a cubicle...a different matter, I suspect.

I believe I have related this before but as it's pertinent to the thread I'll risk repetition. Some years ago I took my eldest son to the Amnesty International concert at Wembley stadium. Top of the bill was Bruce Springsteen. There was an interval between acts I seem to remember during which I made a dash for the toilet. There were very long queues outside the womens but upon entering the mens I was gobsmacked to find every fifth person standing at the urinal, a long trough, was a woman with her skirt hitched up and blithely answering her call of nature. No one batted an eyelid, when one has to piss does it matter what sex you are? Something else I've said before also, 'When a guy talks dirty to a woman it's sexual harrassment. When a woman talks dirty to a man it's a quid a minute!'

Sexual Prejudice is based on atomistic values in my opinion, we (men and women) created our differences, men chose to gloat over them, and women to complain about them.

'The great question… which I have not been able to answer, despite my thirty years of research into the feminine soul, is "What does a woman want?" -- Sigmund Freud' The funniest thing about that mediocre Mel Gibson vehicle, 'What Women Want', is that it assumed men care. :)

Of course we care. How else are we going to get a shag?

What interests me more is what is 'allowable' from the point of view of one member of a gender looking at another member of the same gender, the little nods and winks that deem one thing acceptable and another unacceptable. I think that is probably a more rewarding thing to look at.

'How else are we going to get a shag?' I find inducing a sense of weary resignation in my mark usually has the desired effect.

i think if women raped men at the level of frequency that men raped women, then a woman using a urinal would also be unacceptable... Oh no. Now I sound like a fabid fem... I do assure you Im not...
