Is This What A Member Of The British Royal Family Should Be Doing

[vernonk]

Meghan Markle has outlined her feminist credentials and declared her commitment to gender equality. Is t right that a member of the British royal family - who’ve traditionally stayed right out of such issues - should be allowed to take such a stance? Have the senior royals made a huge error in allowing her such freedom so early on in her royal life? Are they fearful of saying no to her already, in a similar way to political correctness strongly affecting the U.K. as a whole? Is this the direction the monarchy - who are unelected, let’s not forget - should be heading in?

You seem very angry Spath, and yes it's because women 'have a vagina' and all of the other bits that go with it, nas you so crassly put it- lovely to be back in the land of the charming :/

Oppression and suicide do not necessarily have much of a correlation.

Spath... you might be interested in this.

So when I go and stay at my Nans with my other half, she gives him 'man' jobs, like taking the bins out, sorting the fence at the back of the garden, putting up blinds. But he is also not allowed to pour himself a drink, she tells me to do it for him. We find it funny, but actually its nice to have 'roles' and I genuinely like taking care of him like that. i.e. I'll cook, and he'll wash up. Are they sexist stereotypes, or just playing to individual strengths?

Studying anthropology, I believe stereotypes exist for a reason... woman are generally more interested in cooking and fluffing cushions, men would perfer to mow the grass. I also love mowing the grass, and my boyfriend can and does cook! But we do tend to revert to these steroetypes, accidentally, and joke about them...

Are they really that bad?

nothing sexier than a lass with the great smell of Brut, to be sure

//I don't understand what your point is. "Many" can think what they want. It doesn't change what it is. //

What on earth are you on about.

To speak to the masses you need to speak in the masses tongue. Using your highfalutin ways will only wind them up and turn them against you or switch them off.

So carry on the way you are if you want to loose the message, but I wold suggest using un-emotive language usually gets most on side.

I'd settle for just one coherent post from Spath.
