It’s remarkable how little time we older ladies have for these millennial females. We certainly don’t hire them if we can avoid it; but then the “feminism”of our generation was about the right to compete on equal terms, which included the acceptance of the possibility of being found wanting.
As the great Joan Collins observed in the Mail last month, you put out, or you don’t. But you bear the consequences of your decision without whining about it.
No wonder the millennials have become known as Generation Snowflake.
‘ … but then the “feminism”of our generation was about the right to compete on equal terms … ‘
Really? Feminism has only ever been about advancing the interests of women by exploiting men’s innate gynocentrism, or chivalry as it used to be known, and chivalry was never about women competing with men on equal terms, for proof of which we need only consider the now incessant whining of women who have discovered that they really don’t want to do what men do on the terms that men have to do it.
I think the real concern of older women is that younger women are taking the demands to such a level of absurdity that men are going to wake up and say enough and no more, we’re sick of hearing you, sit down and shut up, and fend for yourselves; we’re no longer interested. There is of course the other consideration, and that perhaps not a minor one, which is the perennial sore for older women that unlike younger women they can no longer command a gaggle of eager young men to dance attendance on them and satisfy their every whim.
Today’s young women are merely continuing the work done by their mothers and aunts, who are learning that the right to compete with men obliges them to accept, like men, the consequences of their actions, even when those consequences were unlooked for, unforseen and are unwelcome.
I googled this and was presented with a photograph, in the Daily Mail, of a ‘selfie’ of an unprepossessing, overweight and lumpy female in spray on lycra and a corset (it comes up in Google Images paired with a portrait of Mr Green as a link to The Sun). Having just checked I see that it has been replaced since yesterday by a portrait of Mizzz Maltby giving what, in sexually safer times, I would have regarded as an ‘I’m definitely interested and if you try your luck you might well be in’ look. She’s pushing credibility to pitch herself as some sort of victim if that’s the way she presents herself at work.
Justice for Men & Boys

“The List” compiled by researchers for Unison 2014. As evidenced here by Dominic Raab, a crude attempt at smearing rather than research at all.
