I understand that the decision of the UKSC is not unlimited. Can we clear up some of the things that women can't do as a result?

I'll start.

This ruling doesn't mean that women can herd sheep over London Bridge.

Over to the rest of you:

Is that...cheese? I mean I like a cheesy scone but not with clotted cream and jam...

AI seems to think butter should be cut like cheese! I despair at times!

Hold on. Do you mean butter, jam, then cream?

Tooth butter, jam and cream is my understanding.
All this, without the scone, is excellent for motivating goldfinches to perform extraordinary feats.

Sigh! It doesn't mean women can get AI to work properly it seems!

No, cream then jam. Cream is dairy therefore akin to the butter in a sandwich: carb, dairy, jam.

I can't believe you went there.

I mean, it's just basic decency. You don't put filling on the bread then butter it when making a sandwich, do you?

Do in reality receive equal pay compared with male counter parts

Put the jam on first when eating a scone?

Get paid more than a man for doing exactly the same job

Show quote history

I did actually have a job whete the women were paid more than the men for doing exactly the same thing.

We got a few extra pounds a month to buy stockings. Except women no longer needed to wear stockings in our role....

How can a woman be a freeman? Freemen are men, freewomen are women.

Show quote history

In the same way that mankind is male and female, and my livery company was the first in the Great 12 to have a female master (top bod) and her husband was the first mistress! As above it is a non sex-specific title

In the same way that female sailors in the Royal Navy are still "Able Seaman Jones". It's a title.

Or am I getting mixed up with Fremen and the Butlerian Jihad?

they can if a freeman of london, and nothing to stop a woman becoming free / a citizen - either through a livery company route / by living in the city / through being made free as an honorary freeman…

Have the builder who is working on your own house talk to you directly (rather than look past you at your non resident partner) even though you’ve been managing work building projects for 20 years.

Oh goddess, I had the same with a mechanic talking to my non-driving then-bf when it was my car.

selffellatingouroborosofhate · 22/04/2025 00:38

Visit Mount Athos in Greece or Herbertstrasse in Hamburg, Germany. Even if we identify as men. Funny that...

You can buy aids to enable that.
