A long but fascinating and scary read, especially for those of you working in education.

Wow things have changed.
A couple of weeks ago I was in Melbourne working and there was a staff meeting. One of the guys ate something and left the plate on the table when we left for drinks.
The ladies in the office complained about this. I promptly reminded them that as women they have an innate ability to complain and clean up at the same time and they should not waste time and get on with it.
After reading this article I do not think that the young women of today are capable of cleaning up after men.
Society is crumbling.

Note to self: Must be nice to morons.
I just want to clarify your position.
You're single aren't you and plan on being single for the foreseeable future.
Umm, Yesss, I thought so.

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

Exactly.
I was married/in a relationship.
I am single.
I am happy.
A relationship/marriage would result in the exact opposite of the above three lines.
It is really nice being able to be yourself.
...... even if it means doing your own cleaning .................. at least you can do it when and how you want.........

Your on the feminist watch list ha, just to clarify LL, the women in the office that cleaned up, where they actually cleaners?
If they weren't, then they didn't have to clean up, if they were, then what's there to complain about? I would complain.

They are admin staff.
However almost all women are cleaners by nature.

Yes, but they clean out your bank account whilst still failing to clean the house.

Got round to reading the two long articles in the OP yesterday. Fascinating, if very depressing. Relieved I made the decision to stay out of academia - I'd be the first against the wall.
I came, I argued, I'm out

Indeed Andy.
Those of us with traditional values are now derided and accused of all sorts of things like Misogyny.
It is a very sad state of affairs.

I used to know a girl called Miss Ogyny, she had big tits but luckily they didn't get in the way when she did the housework.
