IDK
That's interesting Besoeker
And I bet it was your influence
Whether obvious or subliminal (is that even a word?)

I can't park the arse off anyone male or female, reverse or forward - but I'm not sexist. I have seen plenty of men who park worse than me, but I try not to laugh when I see them.

Meet Hannah , a woman in what most would call a mans world and no standards were lowered in order for her to become not just a pilot but a military pilot and that’s a whole tougher ball game than flying easy jethttps://youtu.be/bJDpNu6wbbI

Re: Are you sexist?
They are not inferior at all.They have an empathy and ability to get to things that men cannot have, even with the best will in the world.
My daughter could not talk to her Mum about Sex, far happier talking to Dad.
When she was raped, things changed , big time.
She knew she could talk to Mum but not Dad.
She knew exactly what my reaction would be, she was worried about me.
I found this so sad, the innocent protecting the abuser.
Bollocks to that, not on my radar, down they went.
She does have a point, we do not prevent abuse and not every vulnerable person has a Dad who is as a big of a Pillock as I am.
I do not feel vulnerable to threats, many do and I can understand why.
We need to change the system.
