A piece by an unnamed journalist on p.24 of Today’s Times (we can’t find it in the online edition):
A police force will open “crying rooms” and provide extra desk fans for female officers going through the menopause. Nottinghamshire police has introduced the policy after Sue Fish (pictured, above), a former chief constable, found women were leaving the force after suffering menopausal symptoms. Davies Davies, a Tory MP, called the plan “insulting to women officers” who “confront very tough situations daily”. [J4MB: From what I’ve seen, female officers hold back from “very tough situations”, letting their male colleagues – on the same pay – sort them out. Likewise prison officers. Whenever a group of them runs towards a riot, the men are at the front, the women trail behind them.]

Justice for Men & Boys 
This story was was also in The Mail, by their Health Correspondent.
“….More employers are introducing menopause policies to retain staff and avoid being sued for discrimination. Others include Leicester University, Severn Trent Water and energy company E.ON…..”
I would have thought the policy itself WAS discrimination….

What nonsense.
Most menopausal women are more concerned about retaining their job than demanding special treatment, as generally a younger, female bully (and female bullies are not dealt with by their peers in adolescence as male are) will go for a middle aged woman rather than anyone with a reasonably strong protected characteristic; gay, disabled, trans etc.
Age is the weakest of all because everybody has one.
Women in their fifties who need to work are more bothered about their position on the labour market than this c**p.

Women are much less fit than men, or not fit at all for, for a whole big number of jobs and careers. But we keep on pretending and sooner or later, this whole equality farce is going to blow up in our face.

Saw this headline earlier but didn’t have time to read the article – it just HAD to be Nottinghamshire police didn’t it?
