Whirls do you mean you should be treated the same in all circumstances or just those that suit? You see I am from an age where we respected the opposite sex for the differences and teated each accordingly. By and large there was no discrimination in any sphere where male and female were doing equal tasks or equally well at anything. But it seems to me this being treated equally does not seem to be universal, for example when a female worker falls pregnant and then has time off for birthing et al the poor old employer has to pick up a huge tab for that little excercise and on top of that has to keep the job open for a long period. That does not seem equal so in the interests of you showing how "the same" you are would you only accept the "benefits" that are applicable to your male colleagues.
Just wondering!
