TBH I am quite pleased that one of these right-wing woman-haters has finally admitted that there is a pay gap, and that it is at least 10%.

Was PMSL at (paraphrasing, because I'm not opening that up again) "the pay gap has dwindled to 10%...does this sound like a society riddled with discrimination?"

Erm ...YES. YES IT BLOODY WELL DOES. Shall we cut his pay packet by 10% and see if he notices?

Because Dom, if you're reading, I can think of some really good uses for your £6,573.80 if you can't.

what, like everything Labour did was evidence-based? yeah right....
they used to talk a lot about evidence-based policy and apply it very selectively when it suited them.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!!

Aghast at how there really genuinely men out there who think they are getting a raw deal.

Mostly I'm horrified at the apparent popular opinion that the dwindling pay gap is a bad thing!!!

"We've got more problems than I thought"

This government are so ill-informed! They are making policy based on their own very limited and privileged life experiences, not on the basis of any actual fact or evidence as far as I can see.

Take Gove's education policy - he just seems to have picked what he thinks should work, based on the eduction he had in a bizarre one-size-fits-all way. Where are the studies backing his prejudices policies up?

what a twat

Ooh my blood is boiling! What did I look?!

Here's a gem, from the comments":

"Its the 'mumsnet' mothers with young children that are the worst. Oooh look at my brat making a noise, got to have time off to take him to school, the doctors, etc. Aren't I wonderful, producing another person for the planet (like we need some more,with food shortages). Take these priveliges of late work starts, early leaving away, or let the men take the kid to school, see the uproar then"

Poor Erika!

Oxford and the public schools are full of young men like this.

I bet Theresa May thinks he is an annoying little squirt.

That was my thought too Sakura. It means I can't use my usual line of "meeting people like you makes me really optimistic about the future, because people with your twattish views will all be dead soon."

but he's young

I pictured an old wanker man in his dotage, just about to drop and wasn't too worried about the whole thing

BUt he's practically my age!

We've got more problems than I thought

Thanks - I thought it must be somewhere. I didn't think such twattery would escape the gaze of MN

I daren't read the comments - that would probably make me spontaneously combust.

sethstarkaddersmackerel · 24/01/2011 21:38

the comments in the DM are almost universally in favour Hmm

HandDivedScallopsrgreat · 24/01/2011 21:38

Yes - its being discussed here. Although I have to say I am disappointed (although not surprised) that this has now made the Daily Mail.
