Let's put women in their rightful place

Jun 29 2008 by Ian Robson, Sunday Sun

HERE is a challenge for the men of Britain if they have the stones.

Take back the streets, chaps, and put women back in their rightful place . . . and that’s not on top.

Labour has finally lost its balls with more loony feminist nonsense discriminating in favour of women.

Under laws proposed by so-called equalities minister Harriet Harperson, companies will be forced to promote women over men.

It doesn’t matter if the bloke is better qualified.

Under the principle of positive discrimination — and there’s a phrase loaded with meaning — the woman will get the job.

She might be as thick as a brick but she gets the job.

It’s not the first time Labour has fought against discrimination by creating discrimination.

A number of women MPs are only there because of enforced all-women shortlists.

That means members like Roberta Black(wo)man-Woods, who represents Durham, is only the best woman for the job.

She’s not the best person for the job, just the best woman, and everything she says and does has be to interpreted in that light.

Similarly, a number of councillors in the new Northumberland County Council are only there because of their gender.

Perfectly suitable male candidates were shafted because they don’t have lady lumps.

The whole point of equality is that all people are treated the same, no matter their gender.

To create an uneven playing field in favour of one gender is not the answer.

And just in case you think I’m a male chauvinist pig, let me tell you a woman’s rightful place.

Not on top, not on the bottom . . . but side by side.
