| 559833 | 2007-06-16 22:33:00 | www.nzherald.co.nz Ms Lewis complained that because she was a woman, she was given a lower paid job than men at the Talley's fish processing plant in Motueka. She was given a job as a fish trimmer because she was a woman but her partner got a job as a filleter, which paid more, because he was a man. www.nzherald.co.nz Pole dancing is is a job best suited to women. Fish filleting, on the other hand, is more a job for the blokes. That's life, not discrimination, says Talley's Fisheries boss, Andrew Talley. Wonder if his wife is ever allowed out of the kitchen? Oh, yeah, probably, when she gets to play dressup for him in the bedroom. |

| 559834 | 2007-06-17 00:32:00 | pctek, it is more than annoying that there are men still operating within our society who persist in seeing women as nothing more than an adjunct to their (the mens) lives, if those type of men were to suddenly disappear from our midst I am sure their absence would hardly be noticed. Their existence may be some sort of statistical necessity within the overall intelligence normal distribution curve. They are too basically male and rooted in their simple way of seeing the world to change, naughty malicious little boys that never grew up. |

| 559835 | 2007-06-17 00:58:00 | mr talley is a little ott..........but ......he has a point about the weight of fish bins.....they can be up to 40kg or more !.....however in saying that many years ago I worked for sealords in nelson and they had female fish filleters and trimmers.......the ladies however were not supposed to lift over 19kg according to the then union rules........so I'm not sure how they got the fish onto the tables I didn't work in that dept....... | drcspy (146) | ||

| 559838 | 2007-06-17 01:14:00 | Oh for crying out loud. I was working in a kiwifruit packhouse for the past few holidays. The men all get jobs stacking the boxes, whilst women get jobs grading or packing the fruit into the boxes. The graders get paid the most, and there are no male graders, as women are better suited to the job. No one would dream of having a cry in this situation, everyone gets allocated the most appropriate job for them. Jesus I hate PC. |

| 559840 | 2007-06-17 01:39:00 | "anything a man can do, a woman can do better" Biggest load of bull**** ever. Why are most world records higher for men than women I wonder? We are designed differently, better suited for different things. |

| 559841 | 2007-06-17 01:49:00 | Yup, its never "we can do just as good', it always has to be "we can do better!", maybe men should burn their y fronts and boxers :lol: | rob_on_guitar (4196) | ||
| 559842 | 2007-06-17 02:09:00 | But there are big strong women and weedy small men, our physical attributes as a group overlap, when comparing men to women. I worked with women in skilled jobs setting up electronic equipment, and although they were specially chosen to be suitable for the job, many of these women had fine motor skills way above most of the men I have worked with but they initially felt that they would not be able to do the job. I encouraged them and as they gained in confidence they did the jobs more speedily and in greater numbers with more consistancy than any of the men we used to put on the job. A lot of the men felt themselves to be above tedious, exacting work repeated hour after hour and were happy to leave it to the women which is one of the reasons that the women were assigned the jobs. As time went on I stopped choosing men to do the job as they were more trouble than they were worth. The women worked harder and did the jobs with more dispatch. |
