Can you only buy it over the internet ?Well he never told me wether I dip em in the vodka did he ?

[cressida]

sadly yes, Indiana is a fair old hike, I cant deny my sights are set closer to home

 

I thought Indiana was her name at first - but then knowing Sharpsinger, he wouldn't be so rude (oh just looked at his reply to my post - I have clothes everywhere, just as well!!!)

[cressida]

tell me slowly - what does the vodka and chill choccy do for you Lindos - nice and slowly now....

No, Lindt make chilli chocolate too, available at Waitrose (and probably everywhere else, it's just where I got it from). Goes well with champagne also.

so you don't like the way some young women behave, how is this suposed to substaniate your claim that 'men are discriminated against now'?

 

 

In what way?

 

 

Who said they were?

 

 

And you have evidence that Sheila's Wheels is a female owned and run company do you?

 

Even if you did you'd still be wrong as it's no more sexual discrimination that women pay lower premiums for car insurance than men than it is age discrimination that old people pay less than the young. The fact is the women and older people make smaller claims than men and young people so they have proportionately lower premiums.

 

If you object the Sheila's Wheels then you object to the entire basis of the insurance industry.

 

 

Yes it would.

 

 

Of course not 'prick' is a gender specific term, if I was criticising a womens group I don't like, such as 'Object' for example I'd use a gender neutral or female specific term.

 

Will you please explain how my use of a gender specific term is suposed to substantiate your claim that 'men are discriminated against now'?

 

an insurancve company that would only take male drivers would cause outrage, if they were safer drivers, it wouldnt be allowed. you ignore the fact that FFJ was formed because of discrimination against men by women and the courts. Object, you disagree with? why no name calling then? the thread refered to a mans world, not purely discrimination. i ponted out that some women mimick men with their behaviour.

Shiela's Wheels is owned by Halifax Bank of Scotland, which sells car insurance to men via eSure. If that's discrimination then so is Gilette's marketing of Venus razors separately to Mach 3.

I can think of one area where men commonly tend to be discriminated against and that’s in child custody cases, and that is ironically a hangover of the old patriarchal notion that women should look after kids that’s rebounded to hurt men (which makes it odd doubly ironic that Fathers 4 Justice types tend to be misogynistic *** who rant about feminism when in reality they should be embracing feminism which has long argued that childcare isn’t a fixed female role).

 

This simply isn't true though in that women's groups do not argue that fathers and mothers should be treated equally, they want 'equality' at work (by which they mean special treatment) and to keep their privelaged status in respect of children. Women are "more equal" than men to use Orwell's phrase. So in this regard there is a coming together of old fashioned 'partriarchal' if you like crusty judges who think women are better at looking after children, and man-hating feminists who also think women are better at looking after children. And to say the F4J people (men and women) are "misogynist" is another spurious argument; why do we never hear the word "misandronist" applied to a woman? Feminism is at its very heart misandronist, the reason being, it long ago stopped about being about allowing both genders freedom of choice and instead chose to borrow the language of the left - so if there's an oppressed class (women) then there must, logically, be an oppressor class (men). Whereas in fact women will never be equally represented in work while men are offered only work and nothing else.

It's a Gays world nowadays.

 

You cant move along any corridor of power without seeing 'a good listener' near the top of the tree.

youve missed the point. its exclusively for women.

Wrong. I just got a quote from them and I am male.

 

It is marketed as being 100% for women; actually being 100% for women would be 100% illegal.
