On Friday night my husband and I were in Sainsburys shopping. My husband is a children's entertainer and noticed a game on display. It was a game where the children had to guess the occupation on a card which was given to them. My husband thought it would be a good idea for a party game so bought one. When we got it home and opened it he said to me he was shocked to put it mildly. There were around 38 cards with different professions on, ranging from doctor to cashier. Only 7 cards had females on and they were the jobs like cashier, make up artist. The cards featuring jobs like lawyer, doctor etc were all men! The card with the police officer on said policeman and the fire fighter card said fireman. My husband said he could not possibly use the game because it was so sexist. We contacted Sainsburys who are looking into it. For one minute we thought it was a game from the 1930s! It was called What Am I?
