I don't much like things that are specifically aimed at women and would never buy a pink power tool. The WI is out of the question for me as well and I will not buy Avon again because I saw it advertized as "The Womens' Company". It probably stems from my utter bolshiness in the seventies. Imagine the mental battles when I could have had cheaper insurance with Sheilas' Wheels. |

Centenary of Women's Suffrage, and we're offered pink tools, pink guitars (for girls), pink 'Girly girl' binoculars. |

They will also not make as much noise because women don't like to crunch loudly. |

I agree Maggie. I'd never even heard of Ada Lovelace, the mathematical genius, till they did an article in the local paper. It said there was a memorial to her in a churchyard in the area where I have lived for 55 years, yet I'd never heard of it. We went to see it then, a few yards from the Mallory Park Race track. Maybe female success beyond their own has been an embarrassment to a lot of men and so kept under wraps! |

If you had worked in Computing you would have known about Ada Lovelace. One on the main computer languages of the eighties and nineties was called Ada in her honour. |

But what are you going to do when big handbags are not fashionable anymore? |

Kense | Report | 5 Feb 2018 21:31 |
It takes me about ten years to notice that fashion has changed. I don't suppose I will be allowed out on my own by then. |

How you going to get your Dorritos then? |

Kense | Report | 5 Feb 2018 22:27 |
I'll be doing well if I can remember what they are. |

if smaller packets of Doritos are being offered, will that be reflected in a reduced price? |

I would hope that, if they are being aimed at women, they would be thirty per cent cheaper to account for the pay difference. |
