I think everyday sexism is getting worse

And particularly on mn of all places. I don't want to do links as I do mention it on the thread but am I right or am I just spotting it more /getting more sensitive?

The medieval church viewed widows as the perfect woman, Prawn. Even they realised we couldn't all be virgins, so a widow who had done her bit by procreating but then lived a virtuous single life was pretty ideal. You'd have thought society might have moved on a bit since then, eh?

Whereas as a never married single parent I am the downfall of society!

Yep you personally panda :o

Joins Panda on the "downfall of society" bench.

it's a very long bench and it's great fun.

Shame on the lot of you!

There is quite a bit of ageism on MN as well (as there is in society at large, of course), and it's almost always directed at women, ranging from mild comments to actual slurs, almost always tossed out quite casually.

Yy, both ways too - older are "past it" and younger are "naive". Both get the

Prawn.
