I agree with Alasdair Thompson

My daughter [24] came home fuming. I sat her down to listen to the whole interview, some of you should do the same, you might moderate your opinions as the reporting is extremely biased & self serving. Like they say never let the facts get in the way of a good story.

When I listened to the interview this morning, I knew he was painting himself into a corner, the argument has some validity but he made an absolute balls of it.

...bit of modern thinking and conceptualism of societal events are actually taking place in a horse before the cart type of scenario....when we all, globally, embrace the fact that we are all equal and the world is a planet that is run by a benevolent council of wise elders and we were at one with the universe, all this shit would be relevant......but when the shit hits the fan and the levy breaks and its all hands to the pumps, or its do or die, or theres big, big shit happening , its usually very normal BLOKES who are out there fixing shit or killing fucks or dieing so it all keeps working....its just the way it is and the way its been....in the natural order of things it seems in the homo sapiens order of things, the bloke and his mates jumped on things and killed them,,,the girls cooked the thing and as they probably had some water and a cave and it was all as good as it could get...unless some big fucking animal killed you or you fell in the raging river, etc...we have advanced our technologies to the point where we are at this , fucked up, point know.....but the societal bit has lagged somewhat...it seems to tarry around some point that existed a good few thousands of years back....i wonder why....hmmmmmmm....../

This paragraph formed my opinion of the man:

"Thompson stormed off in mid-interview twice during the programme, taking offense to the reporter's questions about his comments. He also refused to provide documentation of his claims that women's menstruation is affecting their productivity."

American study in 08 says women take 50% more short term sick leave than their male counterparts.

Who knows, who cares. It would be like complaining about women receiving maternity leave and men not getting equal opportunity when a child is born. "Equality" is not really a possibility, both sides will always find inequality due to the simple point of differences.

Tend to agree with this guy because at my work, women generally leave work a lot earlier, take longer lunches, tend to take more holiday leave and they do tend to take more sick leave too. Don't get me wrong, there are 2 or three that work as hard but a large majority is out the door once clock strikes 5.

What you fullas think?

Then you are just as big of a tit as he is

I posted a 30 minute interview with Mihingarangi Forbes - he made a cunt of himself from start to finish. He is incompetent. Maybe his brain bleeds once a month? Next.

I only just found out what he was being paid (literally yesterday) and I am looking for a new job as per my post.

I trust you're working on those reading skills though, eh.
