What kind of sexist crap is that!!

[FTRsMammy]

Am looking for a hotel for mine and DHs 5th wedding anniversary in January. We live in the north east if England so there's a few Best Western hotels coming up in searches. I'm having a look at the hotel restaurants to see if the foods any good or if we'd have to go out for dinner and a few of the best westerns have a 'rib room' steak restaurant where the menu lists a 6 oz fillet steak - perfect for a lady! WTAF! AIBU to find that quite offensive and very sexist?

Speaking as a former vegetarian with a delightful veggie daughter, when I go out I order enormous, rare steaks. DP looks faintly appalled, as he insists his is revoltingly 'well-cooked'.

I ain't no lady.

Inde, that's rather missing the point. Women know their own appetites and will order food accordingly. We eat every day. We don't need a course on it. We don't need to be instructed by a menu.

OK, thanks for the explanation.

Lady steaks sounds rude.

I do tend to order s smaller bit of beefage than the little lad though.

I have always found the idea of "man-sized" tissues to be a bit annoying. I have a big nose and a good amount of snot to wipe from it.

Oh yum 32ox steak!

I have a small nose...and malfunctioning sinuses. A Ladytisshooo is no good at all.

My snots are equal to that of a man any day of the week.

I ate more than anyone in my family as a dainty 7stone 9 female, and often told "have you got hollow legs, where do you put it all!!" In my early 30s, I and DH used to both polish off an enormous T-bone steak (each) and chips in Dover. My mother had a very small appetite even as a child, and never felt hungry.

My "oh darling I've put on so much weight I'm now seven and a half stone" mother once told me off for wanting a second sandwich on a day out in the cold.

She would have toyed with the Ladysteak and given it up halfway through with a dainty sigh.

I can remember when people used to ask for "ladies portions" in restaurants!

Some people still ask for a drink in a "ladies glass" in pubs. I got into an argument with the footballer Chris Woods in the pub where I worked years ago because I refused to serve his wife/gf a drink in a straight glass, we weren't allowed to because they weren't government stamped like the nucleated ones.

Ha, Cozy - that's reminded me that I used to drink in a very traditional pub, some 20+ years ago, where they refused to serve ladies with pints. We had to have half pints instead. So whenever one of the blokes would order a round, if the landlord knew he was buying for females, he would only give a half pint! Bloody lunacy. I got Quite Angry about it made fuckall difference though
