Re: Gender equality
Gender Equality...im all for it always have been, always will be, and really dont understand why in some jobs, and only some (not in my workplace) where pay and opportunities are not equal if a female can do the job just aswell she should be given the same treatment. Simple.
Just thought id put another angle on the gender equality debate.

I want the 'best all round quality productive employee at the lowest cost', I don't care what gender, race or their sexual preferences are. One that gives me the least hassle, I shall reward them for their productivity, that they must never let me down, or steal from me. they will always work at what they do as if it was their own business.
If I had the choice between two equally qualified/experienced male or female candidates to choose from .... who do I pick, should I flip a coin?
I hired both people to do the same job, paid the the same salary, same benefits, treated them the same. One of them let me down

Re: Gender equality
I haven't made comments about how to "treat a lady" so I can't offer a definition on someone else's use of the word. I'm curious about how such a person is defined, how would you recognise them. I'd also like to know what form this treatment might take and how this would be different to how one would treat a female who was not considered a lady.

I'm a lady in the same way my husband is a gentleman. Being called a woman is fine but I hate being referred to as a female. My dogs are female...
A lady, or a gentleman, in my opinion is somebody who behaves in a respectful manner, who doesn't embarrass herself or those she's with. Nothing to do with ironing the newspaper and warming up her husband's slippers before he gets home.

Russia has legalised wife-beating. That's probably going to be viewed as a step backwards.

Re: Gender equality
I thought i had an unfairish deal in my last two relationships... but what your son went through was disgraceful. Hopefully as you said he learned a lesson, but hopefully he doesnt go to too much the other way after that expereince. Id class myself as a gentleman and still like to think i have chivalrous qualities and like to treat a lady like a lady when i choose to do so, but when your both earning the same money....and when they earn more i really dont think its fair at all.

DandNHill is talking of basic good manners it seems. So does calling someone a woman mean that they don't have those manners then?
These chivalrous qualities? What are they? Good manners? Politeness? Paul, you say you treat a lady as a lady when you recognise one as such. Which rather implies that you have two levels of functioning raising your game for those you consider ladies. That isn't chivalrous at all.
