I don’t want to be got rid of…I want to be included….seeing as so much store is placed on inclusivity.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

As far as im concerned anyone woke is terminally STUPID.

I have heard plenty of "Acidic" comments, but that has got to be in the top ten.;);)

Like I said to Taddy mate, if there's a niggle you've got Bud, you get it out there, don't hold back on account of decorum. :D:D

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

And once more wokeism applies another layer of stupidity & incredulity to the mix, is there no end to the cretinous thinking?

Blokes should never be anywhere near such a female orientated issue, dear gawd, we're clueless enough when faced with it in the normal course of our daily lives & tend to run a mile to avoid any sort of engagement on the subject. So why the hell do they think appointing a bloke to such a position would be a good idea?

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Well, it is because it is the thing to do to satisfy diversity.
But my concerns are for the young girls getting advice from a MAN…..yes, I know that there are male nurses, male gynaecologists, but in the main these deal with women who have life experience.
If I were a young girl…say 12 or 13 I think I would be mortified to discuss something so private with a man.
A man who knows nothing of what it is like to have bloating, cramps and the variable moods that can be experienced by girls when they start their periods.
Anyone who menstruates is a woman….regardless of how they identify.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

WOKE is another phrase for STUPID imho.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

It's all about inclusivity... and before anyone gets the hump, I'm taking the pist, I agree with Margaret this should be a biological woman (and not someone identifying as a woman) talking to actual biological females about something that will affect there lives.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

You are of course absolutely correct!

I have tried to produce a serious reply, failed, I have tried to produce an amusing reply, failed.
Lets face it I just don't know enough about the subject period (I mean full stop).

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I think, it’s all down to empathy.
I can sympathise for a woman that say breaks her leg or has toothache, I can even get the old empathy going for childbirth (though the nearest to that would be me crapping a turd the size of a melon).
However I just couldn’t pretend to have any form of empathy for a woman having a period and I think most women would quite rightly, feel insulted if I even pretended to know what that is like!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

I've just remembered a young woman I used to work with, she reckoned the best supervisor she could have was a man.

Why?

Well she said, if she ever wanted to finish early she could go up to him and just say "I'm on my period not feeling too good I think I should go home". A man just wouldn't question it, she also said that this wouldn't work with a woman supervisor because SHE KNOWS!

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Less I think you are right about the man not wanting to question a female on her period issues, but as a woman I am not thrilled to hear she used such tactics.
She was taking advantage of the male supervisor in a way that is unethical and dishonest.
I bet any money that this male supervisor did not dock her pay.
So her gender gave her a financial advantage….that is dishonest.
It undermines other women in the work force.

I think I would be saying to her that women in India work through labour….squat down, give birth and carry on working whilst suckling their new baby.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Yes, Ryewolf.
No man can imagine the humiliation of being out somewhere in company and having period blood seep through to your dress….or having periods that are irregular(which they are in puberty)….or having very heavy bleeding which the sanitary product fails to deal with ( this can also happen in puberty)….or having to go out with a big handbag with a supply of knickers,pads and painkillers.
He will not be able to help with these issues because they are NEVER going to happen to him.
Girls may also be too embarrassed to ask him anything…..I would have avoided talking to a man about periods. In fact I begged my mother not to tell my dad when I started my periods and I absolutely hated the phrase that was used commonly….calling a period ‘being unwell’.

So this appointment is detrimental to the girls this man is supposed to be meant to help and support.

Re: The world of "Woke"
 

Don't think that would bother her, she was too far in league with the P.C. brigade she was(is) a lesbian!
