A Perakian in the West.

Ms Pease set back the cause of women's rights back a few decades. Excessive maternity leave and eye watering payo outs. Well not everyone is privileged to have a nanny to look after their brood like Ms Pease. For her to say that there are no sexual discrimination then either she is deemed an equal within her male cronies or they dont find her a treat or even worse sexually attractive. Men in general especially in power would love to assert their authority in every way they can.

Mind you I will not say this is as prevalent as a couple of decades ago but still the old school prevails. Women like her coupled with a couple of giddy school girl types set the cause of equality for women back a couple of generations behind.

It angers me tremendously to hear a highly successful women to talk nonsense. I like so many women in lower paid, middle management and even upper rung of career have had run ins with the seamier side of our career. One of my so called male colleagues actually said it is the perks of his job to have a few gropes with the female colleague. I took him seriously even though he insists that it was said in jest.

It is about time that we in the society treat women as equal as possible. Should the women decided to take time off to look after the baby and I personally dont think that a year is too long then so be it. I would say that should their partner, wishes to take time off and let their wives or partners go back to work then it is a good thing too.
