Many workplaces, including Parliament, are designed by men and for men

paints a similar picture, with more than half of employed men doing nil or less than five hours of unpaid domestic work each week.

But in all these cases, someone still needs to do the grocery shopping, make the lunches, unpack the dishwasher or arrange for a plumber to fix a leaking tap. It’s sometimes termed the "second shift" — all the work we women do once we supposedly "clock off". Until tasks of housework and caring responsibilities are equally shared at home, until there’s free childcare and gender pay equity, there can be no equality at work — and that includes in our parliaments.

Parliament is a patriarchal system, designed by men and for men. Not only does it look like a gentleman’s club, with its leather lounges and walls adorned with portraits of white, bearded men; it also operates like one.

Surely it’s long overdue for politics — and all our workplaces — to catch up, so people can have a life, care for their families and take on leadership roles. Unless we find that balance, our parliaments will never be truly representative. They will always be skewed towards those who benefit from gender inequality.

It wld be nice if some lady writers were not so divisive, it’s been a tough year already

Function should determine form!

And the news is?

I fell the same about urinals

Not just the workplace. 🤣 A friend made a comment to me once that you can tell from the kitchen if a man designed the house.

This is the what happens when hard left, identity driven idealogues get a voice. As McBeth said, “the voice of an idiot, full of sound and fury; signifying nothing”.

Because men build the buildings! 🤦‍♂️

Return to China then where life is do much easier!

Poor little me🤮🤮

I want to ban all females in office just out of comedic spite. The whining from them is like a song played every single 15 minutes on the radio. After a week it’s torturous. We’ve endured years of it. Since Trump won all we’ve heard & seen is uncompromising bitterness. Trump2020

Oh please , what rubbish .

The daily red meat that sells to gullible women, where they get their daily dose of bitter hiss, the walllow in anger, victimhood and inferiority complex that gets them through their days. They wouldn’t want it any other way.

Oh, What are surprise. It’s Monday and the start of a new working week and women are complaining....again.

Lets have more women in parliament and more males having majority time with kids when marriages fail. They're separate topics but lets try it.

Well yeah back in th old days woman stayed at home and raised children so what’s your point?

What complete drivel.

You just figured that out!🙄

This woman better assemble her gang. Go away, Karen, you silly little Green.

finally some good news

Lol, so no woman's toilets ?

Politicians have it too hard? Fucking spare me. Some things require sacrifice.

We've been brainwashed into believing this is *normal* and the only acceptable way things should be done. If we don't start challenging these kinds of beliefs we'll be extinct.
