Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“On the theme of being suspicious this caught my eye. The first thing is that it’s yet another thing that begins with males and then “spreads” to women. PTSD being an obvious example, initially men having experienced hell (e.g. in wars), and eventually an actress who leaves a dancing competition suffering from “mild PTSD”! Or RSI initially affecting men operating pneumatic drills and other such tools but then an epidemic amongst women who use keyboards in offices.
So it shouldn’t be a surprise that ADHD “spreads” to females and “This is a trend that is particularly pronounced among older women” in the workplace. “You don’t want to be cynical,” said Ms McGlone. Well I’m sorry I’m very cynical about sudden dramatic increases in “diagnoses” that effectively obtain concessions in workplaces. “I was trying to avoid taking the legal route because I really liked the company. This was my dream job, I loved it, and I knew I could do it. So I was trying to manage it in my head and trying to do what they asked. But when I realised that I couldn’t, I was experiencing anxiety.”
Could it possibly be she just wasn’t up to the job?

Justice for Men & Boys 
Wasn’t up to the job? – That’s no excuse. Work ethic and responsibility are just more male privileges. Again, always leaving the feminist out of her depth! Feminist dominance has nothing to do with competence.

They maintain a female monopoly on other ‘concessions’, though. Let’s hope that Spanish law isn’t a trailblazer. Note that it is being advocated in GB to ‘improve morale’.

Spoiler alert: Morale amongst those who must take up the slack will not be improved.

Yes indeed. As the list of reasons to “support” women grows ever longer so does the number. Menstruation, menopause, child care, “caring”, work life balance, temperature regulation, anxiety, lack of confidence the list goes on and on. The resultant “flexibility” never includes doing more work flexibly. The result is, in my experience, its only on Wednesday that all workers are in work. The rest of the week, specially Friday, there are lots of gaps. And as for covering “weekends” well …… Its a cliche but after office closure or covering over weekend, well you can guess the “gender” actually still at work. Even in my “industry” which is nearly 90% female.

Do I have ADHD? At age 47, I took the test to finally find out I rest my case, it couldn’t be that she has too much to do and is a bit disorganised could it? There has to be some reason its not her fault and god forbid she should take less time maintaining her social relationships with friends for a bit. Or doing fewer opinion pieces for the print media.
