Equal Opportunities

I can just imagine a senior HR employee saying to the junior.....

"place this ad for and anaesthetist will you, and just add the usual rubbish about equal opportunities etc."

It has probably come verbatim from the person who ordered the ad to be placed hehehehe.........:D
 
Let's just hope they give the job to someone on the basis of their experience and qualifications to act as an anaesthetist.

Not because it evens up the hospital's quota of one-legged lesbian post-operative transsexuals, seeking political asylum whilst awaiting the removal of their name from the child sex register in accordance with the European Union's Human Rights legislation.....

:(

No doubt someone will let me know, but I so far haven't really seen equal opportunities.

We have laws in place to make sure that adverts are equal in their opportunity.

But are we equal?

There seem to be talents that females master better than the male and also the opposite.

However, this paper chasing world of ours that claims we shouldn't allow a woman to be a woman, a man to be a man, seems to interfere with the two sexes actually getting on with each other.

As soon as I open a door for a woman, I'm being patronising, as soon as she shows her independance because she doesn't need a door opening for her, she's being a threat to masculinity.

In actual fact there are differences and as old fashioned as it may seem, I would rather open a door for a 'Lady', than leave it to slap in her face, but sometimes we are left with the man wondering will she be insulted? and the woman wondering, will he be insulted?
Well let's put these thoughts and differences to one side and realise,
It's so much nicer if a man can treat a woman as a lady than to have her insist on 'complete' independance.

"Usual rubbish" seem pretty tame ... could have been "usual bs". Personally, I don't see to much wrong with affirmative action; it's what happens to it when it gets in the hands of the wrong kind of folks ... the ultra-pc crowd. Ironically, this leads to "tokenism", which is the silly side of positive affirmative action.
 
I quote from the BBC story referenced:

"A trust spokeswoman said: "The wording on this advert in no way reflects the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals NHS Trust's position in relation to equal opportunities, to which it is fully committed.

"The trust is conscious of its duty to promote equality and is a Stonewall Diversity Champion employer. "

Of immeadiate concern is the fact that it is a 'spokeswoman', and not a spokesperson who has made the response - hypocracy in itself; but far more importantly is this reference to Stonewall. As far as I understand, this is an organisation for the botty-bashing brigade. Exactly what role they are playing in the management of this acute hospital I do not know, but it would appear to me that patient care should have priority over accommodating this mob.

Are those the same monkeys that will be taking over the jobs from Accy Expedia?

Still up in the air.

Their unions still in talks with them.

There's a problem, as Expedia don't offer the same benefits package to same sex monkey couples.

It could mean bananas.

I think that "spokeswoman" and "spokesman" are fine ... this way you know whether some stupid bitch is speaking, or some dumb asshole ... (I realize that "asshole" is somewhat gender neutral; but I couldn't use "dumb p....":rolleyes:;))
 
Talking ... well sort of .... about pc'ism, check this one out:

McDonald's to show calories on UK menus - Health - CBC News

Now how damn stupid do you have to be not to realize that the crap Rotten Ronnie serves up will pile on the pounds.:rolleyes:

I know it's a wander, but it's not worth a thread of its own. Reminds me of my favorite cigarette warning ... you know, the one that informs you that fags are addictive.:eek:

Yes, the Nanny didn't leave, when that Mrs. Thatcher got ousted.

We have an even stricter Nanny now. Who assumes we are mentally deficient, and treats us accordingly.

As well as telling us too many beef burgers makes you into a big fat piggy, she's full of other useful advice too.

She also pops her head through bedroom windows, and screams
'What you dirty pair are doing now makes babies!'

Dear Nanny State.

She's so wise, and certainly knows what's best for us all.

:rolleyes:
 
And some idiot over here wants to put a warning on beer labels ... No, not one that says that too many of them will make you a little tipsy:rolleyes: ... but a "gluten" warning.:D Ok all of us (except for Bee who is underage) realize that beer contains barley, even American beer (well, maybe not Coors Lite).

What a great post Less, I don't think anybody in their right mind can fault what you've said (but there will) I never changed my attitude towards women, even when some decided to join Ms Greer and burnt their bras. There never has been anything wrong in opening a door for a lady or giving up your seat on a bus, walking on the outside on the footpath, and genuinely making a woman feel special, that's the way I was brought up and never saw any reason to change
 
Equal opportunitys does exactly the opposite. By asking peoples coluor, sexuality etc on application forms this ensures that these issues are taken into account, therefore discriminating against people that dont fit the criteria....for example employers must employ so many ethnics, disabled etc so joe bloggs might not get the job simply because the employer must employ someone of different colour etc.....equal mi ass
