Sticky situation for TUI over "sexist" badges given on Paphos-Bristol flight

Thank you MM, for putting it so eloquently. Nothing snowflake about it in the slightest. Just an acknowledgement that we no longer live in the dark ages.

You are just moving the goalposts of the debate now.

Well using your logic all the pilots should be women and the stewards men.

Nope, I don't think I am, not every "employment" is suitable for either sex....we make a lot about female firefighters or police officers...or indeed the military..and there are jobs within those occupations that suit both...there are also elements that suit one sex more than the other...I am 6ft, about 14 stone...to drag me out of a fire..unconscious..would take a big bloke....or face me in a street fight...or a firefight on the battlefield...but I have seen a female medic save a life...under fire..the injured soldier was dragged away by two very fit lads... Which she couldn't have done...the discussion is about equality...and those that defend it...don't always see the bigger picture. And to be honest...how many female air stewards...would be able to drag unconscious passengers off of a plane!

Not so, most of the male stewards, Ive seen on British Airways would have trouble pulling the skin of a rice pudding, most of the female stewards would be more able in my opinion.
