A Fishy Story.

"Landmark sexual discrimination ruling 'a joke' - Talley."

"Pole dancing is is a job best suited to women. Fish filleting, on the other hand, is more a job for the blokes. That's life, not discrimination, says Talley's Fisheries boss, Andrew Talley."

Now there is probably something to Talley's response, although I am not altogether sure his examples are particularly apt or convey this ... like I am sure some 'blokes' would love to see scantily clad chappies 'chapping at the pole' - so to speak.

But the generalised principle should engender a tad of caution, for the 'safety' of the individual, relations with other workers and other contextual factors should carry some weight in such decisions ... it really isn't a matter smply of imposing the PC 'positive discrimination' principle .. for this so often simply provides a platform for those 'attention junkies' who otherwise would not have the 'meaningful existence' they so pursue and doesn't really open doors in any socially meaningful manner for others ... one can think of the antics/lives of a few politicians, for example.

Gone are the days when ' men were men and women were grateful.'

We live in such a 'blurred' world: oestogened males, testosteroned females, androgenised both, ....

and some of these blends could certainly lift 30kg fish crates.
