What is bothering me at the moment is girls being put down cos they are female. Brought home to me when my 5 year old told my wife to put the handbrke on in the car before they got out, the 3 year old walked away and muttered under his breath " huh......women".

I believe women are equal, but I also feel they should be treated with respect.........old fashioned I know.


I'll shut up now.

I was waiting for the punchline from your original post.

However it seems you were being sincere and I apologise for misjudging your intentions.

Women and men are certainly equals; we all have different areas in which we excel but in the long run we were designed to compliment each other.

Respect for the opposite sex (both of them) is not as prevalent as it should be. Old fashioned values are fast being lost.

Neither sex should be made to feel any less worthy than the other lest one rise up and subjugate the other (most likely reversing the current problem), which is probably what will happen eventually. It seems we have to swing from one end of the pendulum to the other before we learn anything.

ermm... I'll shut up now.

From what I've noticed, it doesn't appear to be a male/female thing with the driving, but the very young drivers who cause most of the trouble. Both hes & shes drive like idiots when they're first behind the wheel & I have no idea what can be done about it.

I will say this though... Where motorcycles are concerned, the difference is clear to me. When first starting to ride, the girls seem to respect their bikes, the road & their abilities. The boys just seem to be determined to keep up with their mates, regardless of their inexperience. Time & time again I've had to treat young riders at the roadside because of inexperience, but never a female. And I don't think it's just because there are so many less girls riding.
