That is one enormous chip

Posted 14 Mar 2010 by Walaa Idris

When I read this morning on the Telegraph (while I was still being lovingly spoiled by my girls) that gym staff could be prosecuted for issuing advice to women under the equality legislation, I did not know whether to laugh or cry!

But I opted to enjoy my time of indulgence and just ignore the Harman and that ever growing chip (the one she has been carrying for the best part of half a century) on her shoulders – doesn’t she realise that her barking is making women look weak, incapable and needy.

There is inequality in many aspects of life but legislating to the extent of crippling, stereotyping and stigmatising is counterproductive. Harriet and her “bra-burning” sisters’ should really pause and take a step back, because not every aspect of people’s lives needs a law.

Unbelievable when I have told people about it they think its a joke but then the same can be said of all her initiatives. I suppose this nonsense takes peoples minds off the state of the economy. Whats really scary is how every aspect of our life is becoming legislated soon we will be scared to breath.

Breathing is a double whammy, they will first legislate it then tax it ;-))

It is very scary, and you want to tell the voters but at the same time you don’t want to scare them and come across like a scaremonger.
