It's from February.
Bit odd

Don't get me wrong, I am very much in favour of female only areas in relation to toilets, changing rooms, trying-on rooms in shops, women's refuges and so on.

I am male.

But I do wonder, and it annoys me, when there are courses that are female only where there seems no relevance for female-only participation.

For example, a women-only course on starting a business.

So, while recognising that there might well be a good reason for it, I am wondering why this is just for women, and why, more generally, there seems to be what amounts to sex discrimination other than where, well, you know, is involved.

Not trolling, just wondering why.

EP probably because they get a grant for it to promote women’s participation just as you do for promoting ethnic participation where those groups have been or are disproportionately represented.

For the avoidance of doubt, it was the comment by sylviareidvq which I reported. Her comment caused the OP to appear on the trending list!

It doesn't seem to matter what you report these days (see the Portuguese thread)
And the Active list is completely up the creek

Oh, it's gone! Well blow me down!

ElderlyPerson Tue 29-Jun-21 10:02:16

Oh no it hasn't!

I posted but it did not go on the active list, so I bumped it (but with music) and it did.

So a couple of music videos to brighten the day!
