I hope I've put this thread in the right place, here goes.
At work I send out letters I won't go into mega detail but these letters have questionnaires attached that are only relevant to women, so we were told to avoid men getting these questionnaires we should look at the persons title.
Written in black and white it says this " send questionnaires to Miss, Ms, Mrs as they are women but not to Mr,Dr or Rev as they are men"
Really? I thought it was 2013 am I wrong?
I've raised this as an issue and the written procedure will be amended.
Just thought I would share that little nugget of bull shit with you all.

Oooh, so when I complete my PhD I will automatically get a sex change? Hmm

Another bloke here then. Someone might like to tell my obstetrician that I am a medical miracle and he didn't notice!

Flippancy aside, that's really depressing.

Oh so me and my SIL are both men (Dr and Rev).

That procedure was written by a woman too the mind boggles.
Thanks buffy although I'm proably forever marked as a trouble maker now but I just like equality n stuff innit.
