Equal Opps?
Why is it that women want Equal Opportunities and treatment only when it suits them??
Example:
I work in an office with more women than men. However when any lifting is required, it's always the men who are expected to do it.
Two auditors in our office constantly get boxes delivered and stand there why the men move them.
I've never had to lift any box which I would consider heavier than a pram or bag of shopping so why is it down to me to do it.
It's not in my contract, I'm an Analyst!!
The worst thing is that when they want help they say "Are there any muscley men around to help us...." There are some larger women in the office who no doubt are stronger than me!!
Personally I think I should get paid more - They'd certainly kick up a fuss then....!!

Agrred, always confused me this has, they expect modern men to help around the house etc doing what was traditionally classed as a womans job but when the car needs washing or an oil change guess whos job it is then. Whoever gave them a right to vote was wrong and its downhill since

What do you say to a woman with two black eyes?
Nothing - She's been told twice already.
Also.
Jim and frank caught the same train to work every morning. One day, Frank gets on the train as normal, but he is sporting a black eye. Jim, who is already on the train, lowers his papar to say hello and to Franks surprise, Jim also has a black eye.
"Well, you first Jim. WHat happened?"
"Well" Says Frank "I was at the breakfast table and I wasn't really paying attention. My wife was bend over looking into the fridge, and I meant to say 'Could you pass the Marge' instead it came out 'God your **** is large' and well, she wasn't best pleased."
"That's amazing" said Jim "Almost exactly the same thing happened to me, I was at the breakfast table, and I wasn't really paying attention. I meant to say 'COuld you pass the cornflakes please, love' but instead it came out 'You've ruined my life you fvucking bitch'

Hmmm. In one of our US offices a guy got sacked for holding a door open for a woman - when she was carrying a box or a tray or something. She complained to HR that she was 'humiliated' or something (thought that she could have managed or some such) and the guy was gone. The advice now is that unless the door will slam in their faces then let it close!
True story!
Actually, the women that get me are the ones you hold the door for and they waltz through without a word or a glance. Stangely I can't help myself saying 'don't worry, I'll just stand here all day holding the door open ..'.

I think women prefer men to be men.The ones that talk about EO's is blurring some men's views of what they are.Hence more men going to stylists instead of the barber and Mini sales have soared.All because of a box.
Pick the box up and throw it as far across the room as you can.Be a man.
Ask her to analyse that

There used to be a test for entry into the Royal Engineers which was lifting a heavy ammo box onto the back of an army lorry. They had to abandon this test because virtually no women could lift it (men who couldn't do it were also rightly denied entry to the Corps).
Even now, women in the army get all sorts of accommodations for any physical tests. They can do press ups with their knees on the ground, don't have to run as far and get longer to run this shorter distance (used to be best attempt rather than actually achieve the time - might have changed now).
All this might be great for equality, but when the **** starts flying (as it frequently does in Iraq/Afghanistan), anyone too slow/weak/feeble to carry out the necessary tasks is a (potentially fatal) liability to themselves and others.
Women in the army also get the same rate of pay as men.
Furthermore, tell a rude joke in front of a female soldier, and you stand a very real chance of being kicked out, or at the very least disciplined (with severe repercussions to whats left of your career). If you didn't want to hear robust language, don't join the fecking army you daft bint! The phrase "swears like a trooper" exists for good reason.
