scania Posted September 4, 2015 Share Posted September 4, 2015 There is no need to separate the sexes. Its outdated and prehistoric. Another whim from the loonies who believe in their own faeces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiseOwl182 Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 Not "everyone" then. Pedant or not...just get your facts right in future. It wasn't a fact, it was a lighthearted summary of one of the stupidest threads to ever grace SF. Get a grip in future. Oh, and.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olive Posted September 5, 2015 Share Posted September 5, 2015 (edited) And some will see it as an opportunity to coral women or put them in Purda. I repeat we have been trying to increase respect and understanding in this country not divide and segregate. We need confidence and assertiveness classes not separate railway carriages. What next Completely segregated busses, schools, universities, hospitals, shops? Do we designate streets as women or men only, railway station platforms must be a prime place for a target by a lowlife groper why not separate the sexes altogether and give us all a burqa to protect us from prying eyes. We could go one better and emigrate to Afghanistan. I think you must have read my last post without following the previous ones - you're preaching to the converted. As I've repeatedly stated, I think women only carriages are a bobbins idea. A few of us were discussing what it means to discriminate.

Jeffrey Shaw Posted September 10, 2015 Share Posted September 10, 2015 Quite. To discriminate is perfectly OK. You like fine wine? You want a reliable car? You seek the best employee for a job? You prefer to travel by car rather than by train? These are all examples of discrimination. But what's not lawful is unlawful discrimination, i.e. taking into consideration irrelevant factors (e.g. the job applicant's personal characteristics that would have no bearing on ability to do the job).

Excellent point. We discriminate all the time - which goes back to my original assertion that this suggestion is not anti-men - it's pro-women.

Or, as another random example, being prevented from certain parts of public transport due to being presumed a potential sex pest on grounds of being born as the "wrong" gender.
