Examples of Sexual Prejudice
Sexual prejudice is commonplace in our world, particularly in the workplace where many men are forced to wear shirt & tie, while women can get away with t-shirts. What's the deal with a tie anyway? Is it just something left over from the ruff of Edwardian times? And how come the guy with a tie is considered by many to be smarter than the guy without?
The whole thing baffles me.
However, here's an example of a woman taking a real liberty. I was recently at a kid's show where, as usual on these occasions, the toilets filled up at half-time. The men's had about five rows of 10 urinals, which equates to about 50 swinging dicks if my maths CSE still stands me in good stead.
Suddenly a woman entered, saying in a loud voice, "I'm not looking, I'm not looking," as she rushed to a vacant cubicle.
It was greeted for the most part with amusement and nothing else. But it got me thinking. How would 50 or so women react if a man walked into the room while they were having a piss? How would that particular woman react if a man walked in on HER?
So can anyone else think of any situations or rules & regs that are okay for one sex and not the other? I'm not looking for the sort of "We always have to do the ironing" or "We've always got to take the rubbish out," scenarios. I'm wondering what is considered "allowable" for one sex (male or female) and yet socially unacceptable for the other.
Over to you.
