AIBU to be so annoyed that men have all the fun

[ThisIsStartingToBoreMe]

Why is it always men who get to carry out really exciting staff like the Brinks Matt robbery and the Hatten Garden Diamond Heist. And I know they never found the people who robbed the safety deposit box in Mayfair but I bet they were men too!!!

Seriously though, i'm curious as to why more women aren't invited to take part.

[ilovesooty]

at "invited to take part"

[WorraLiberty]

Invited?

What the actual fuck?

[Eeeek686]

Too busy having babies and playing on mumsnet?!

[SisterMoonshine]

It did make me smile that the Hatton Garden diamond robbers were pensioners.

[sooperdooper]

Nah I bet the Mayfair safety deposit box were women and that's why they've not been caught

[SwearyInn]

Because we'd constantly have to re-do our make-uo and can't run fast enough in heels. And we'd probably giggle too much.

[LottieDoubtie]

Women! Shit at crime.

[mudandmayhem01]

Maybe female master criminals just don't get caught

[sooperdooper]

Damn should've been

[Diggum]

I think I could be very handy with an oxyacetylene torch if anyone is interested in tackling this injustice.

" Maybe female master criminals just don't get caught"

Fixed that for you

There was a TV sitcom in the 1970's that the men were caught and put in prison, and the wives took over. So we cant all be shit at crime. They were actually quite good at it.

Rose Dugdale, an English debutante, joined the IRA, carried out a heist that involved robbing £8 million of paintings, and then bombed an RUC station in Strabane using a hijacked helicopter. Got nine years and gave birth in Limerick prison.

[ThisIsStartingToBoreMe]

That sitcom was called Widows and I remember it well!!!!

Yes, I think the women robbers just haven't been caught, that's it!

[BoneyBackJefferson]

OP

you have a strange sense of fun.

[ThisIsStartingToBoreMe]

Joking aside. I am really really curious as to why this sort of thing is always done by an all male group

[ToastedOrFresh]

This ^ smile

I remember a scene from, 'Men behaving badly' when the Martin Clunes character is rummaging through a box looking for something and all he finds is hair dryers, curling tongs, hairbrushes etc and he exclaims, 'no wonder you women don't get positions in industry, you're all to busy doing your hair.'

Even I had to smile at that !

It was a joke, btw, and then over 20 years ago before anyone feels the need to start reaming me.

WRT the OP. It would have meant working overnight, even then on a public holiday i.e. Good Friday. Who's minding the kids ? The husband ? The infirm relative ? The drama friend ?

[hollowlegs]

They would trip when they were running away.


(in the films we AWAYS tri.

[ToastedOrFresh]

square brackets for a otherwise the word smile just comes out emboldened.

[Strangertides1]

But how do you known no women were involved??...perhaps they were simply smart enough no to get caught.

[ToastedOrFresh]

I also find it quite telling that initial reports were saying that it was a gang of East Eurpeans that wot done it.

Foreigner blame anyone ?

I didn't think it was done by them, it just seemed like the crime of a bunch of old lags...oh wait.

[coffeeisnectar]

I love that they used their bus passes to meet up to plan it.

Quite clearly all the women masterminds have never been caught.

[JarethTheGoblinKing]

Women don't get caught

[slicedfinger]

Brilliant line on the BBC just now. "... Even suffering from in continence... Left a trail..."
