A demand too far?

Crazy, I love sport and in Olympic year banning talk on sport is rediculous. Many woman enjoy both playing, watching or talking about sport.

We’ve been talking about this subject at work, and decided that there’s nothing we can talk about at all.

Sport is out, brexit is out, discussing one’s children is out, car talk is out, so all we can talk about is work.

I don’t want to talk about sport, but with the six nations coming up, I wouldn’t fancy my chances at trying to ban it. It’s just all a bit silly.

It's a bit daft isn't it? You may as well ban car-talk, "Strictly" and soap operas? All very silly. What happened to give and take?

Ridiculous, outmoded sexist viewpoint.

This is certainly a demand too far. What next?!

Ann Francke Head of the Chartered Management Institute is calling for men to be prevented from discussing sport at work as it could lead to women feeling excluded.

Isn't it sexist to assume that women don't enjoy watching and talking about sport?

Are there any topics which women should be prevented from discussing?

Anyone else feel some of the "demands" are becoming trivial and frivolous?
