I'm guessing you posted it to be reactionary in some way, so jump down off that fence and kick an argument off!
My cousin is doing it at the moment - 1 year paid vacation with one child and is pregnant with another, she is getting paid and has a position held in the company she is in, it is a good system that lets people do that but is it fair on the companies?
You know what they say assumptions are the mother of? Or should that be 'father' to be PC?
No it's crazy.
I genuinely don't have any idea what you're talking about.
But it seems a bit weird to read a story, then decide to post a thread in a debate forum with a link to it, if you don't have any thoughts or opinions about it. So clearly you do, yet for some reason you aren't going to bother posting those. That is reasonably strange behaviour.
Of course, I know that actually, you are have a lot of issues towards feminism and feminists, and so you're hoping someone is going to disagree with the article so you can sink your teeth into a polemic about all that is wrong with the sort of legislation the woman in the article is talking about.
So why wait for someone to take the bait? If you've got something to say, say it! Otherwise this wouldn't be a debate forum, it would merely be a news service.
Incidentally I posted this as I thought it was an interesting perspective on a hot subject. I didn't really expect people to go looking for trouble where there was none but perhaps I should have expected it from you.
As for what I was talking about, you assume lots about me, (None of which to date have been correct) and the expression goes "assumptions are the mother of all f***-ups".
I don't think you're sexist. I think, from the fact you've posted this story and prefaced it with "settle down Germaine", you're not a big fan of feminism. Perhaps I'm wrong...
So what's this all about...
..?
And did you miss where I state in the first post that it's not my opinion? Course you did, otherwise you'd have realised you're barking up the wrong tree.
And you still haven't bothered to give your opinion on the article. It's all a bit odd.
As for the link, I don't come in to direct contact with anyone who seems to be suffering from sexism in the workplace however I assumed (Yes, I'm guilty of it too) other on here would, so this was to invite their views.
So please, you've got your current non-view out of the way, how about stepping aside and letting others have a go?
In case you aren't familiar with Harperson, all you need to know is that she is a humourless, hypocritical New Labour cunt - a member of the elite, one who seems to thinks the laws of this country don't apply to her. And this woman is our Deputy Prime Minister. God help us - the next time you hear some spiv telling Labour they should get rid of the one-eyed Scottish idiot, just remind yourself that there is someone even worse waiting in the wings ready to take over.
Still, perhaps Hatty will ask the court of public opinion what it thinks of her crap new equality bill. But she won't. If it was up to the court of public opinion, this bill would already be long dead whilst Harman would have been punished by being repeatedly run over by a steamroller.
