Should women be allowed to do everything men do?

[Hullygully]

Talk to me about equality.

Allowed?
Allowed?
Who is it exactly who will be allowing women to do (or not do) stuff?

I'm not about to start seeking permission now thanks!

(thank you for the jar opening tips & I very much agree with Holding the cork, and turning the bottle! It is the proper way.)

They're fucking FAIRY CAKES.

I don't know what all this cupcake bullshit is all about but I don't fucking well like it.

but heavier and sweeter than fairy cakes with thick sickly icing on...yukorama

It's been going on so long too. Weird.

What about bride cakes of cupcakes?

wedding cakes even

yes they should

Anyone who doesn't believe the blue/pink thing should watch 101 Dalmations and note the collars used.

you know you could start a little business making cupcakes and sell them. You could advertise on FB and call your business Cutie Cakes or somesuch. I don't think anyone does anything like that at the mo

I hate the whole cupcakes/fairy cakes/bunting getallwomenbackinthekitchen ethos that seems to be so prevalent.

I up for wasabi peas. Can we serve vindaloo as well?

Actually why am I asking? We will serve vindaloo.

I rather doubt the GCSE syllabus propaganda will give a very accurate view, HullyGully .

Many more women went to university before WW2 than in the 1950s and 60s. And had professional careers.

My sister was taught to use a penknife and make fires.... she has gone on to enjoy a succesful career as an arsonist and a mugger.

yeh fucking cupcakes and bunting is so......retro but not in a good way.

@ ComposHat, great nick too

GCSE syllabus propaganda

hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

My cook is one of those Thai women handy with a hose so it's mostly Pad Thai and red veg curry.

lol Compo See that is what happens when you strive for equality.

The sub may indeed visit the island. In fact in the 1600s on of my ancestors (possibly) was in that area near Panama. He was a pirate. There is possibly treasure. We could use the sub to help find it perhaps. Lost Treasure of Lima (much more fun than cupcakes which keep women depressed and fat and are perhaps even a tool for contain and control women). There is a picture on my link of the crabs they caught to eat on my island earlier this week.

We have never had as many women graduating as now inthe UK (it's up to 60% of graduates who are female) so although there was indeed a blip in the 50s when men back from war thrust women back out of their jobs, nurseries closed and men pinched the jobs, it is a fairly steady improvement of women's career and legal rights since the 1880s really.

Hahaha...wait til MarmaladeTwatkins sees this.

how about men having the same rights as women? ...such as being 'allowed' to pick their own bloody pants up!!!! DP seems to think he is implicitly prohibited from this, i am trying to prove to him how open minded i am and that really, i have no problem with him picking up his own dirty skegs even if he is man!

We had crabs at the weekend

They were very tasty.

But they couldn't dress themselves so i did it for them.

Bloody lazy those crabs.

My boss wouldn't let me handle a particular substance at work as its "teratogenic" (affecting fetal development) properties were unknown - it was something pretty nasty, because i was a woman - i'm rather glad he insisted on doing this for me, i was early stage pregnant and didn't know!!

I don't think it is a case of being ""allowed" to do things, but men and women are different and are generally better suited to certain types of tasks, however these are not necessarilly the roles set out by society.

Which specific tasks would they be, LEM?
