Steve Williams, thanks for the Reality Check, mate! Yes, it is too easy to hit "Post" without full consideration.
Would you like to direct me to the posts you refer to, Caliban, as I have read back the posts and can find no objection other than yours.
I was engaged in discussion with a member who, I believed, had made some erroneous observations regarding women's equality and choice in society and the work-place. I refuted his claim that working from home, part-time employment and low earnings for women is their choice, and stated that he was out of touch with the reality of many who want to work but are trapped in a cycle of poverty. I was also fully aware at the time that what I had inferred from his posts was not necessarily his conviction.
This is web forum, not a university seminar
He then went on to express his belief that his wife was the most wonderful woman in the world. I wouldn't deprive him of that belief. If there were more with his conviction then maybe the world would be a happier and less dangerous place.
I did think he was being somewhat boastful though, hence my response of describing my wife's profession in order to point out that his wife is not the only woman capable of high performance at work. My only concern in doing so was of indiscretion, and maybe I did say too much, but not to compromise her professional standing!
The words, "Black Girl Attitude" and "nobody messes with the Black Girl" are her words, and do not describe "an aggressively defensive personality", as you say.
Someone in her line of work, having to question the opinions of Medical Professionals, Forensic, Police and other "Expert Witnesses", some of whom hold vested interests, add to that mix council Social Work Dept policies, misguided philosophies and political motivation, very often tempered by incompetence, and you have a fairly hefty State Machine bearing down on at least one confused, frightened, very often hostile and not always guilty parent, and the course of a child's future. And very often, the parents have no entitlement even to see the findings of the Court. There is a war going on throughout Britain that most of us aren't even aware of!
Any Barrister who can't stand up to that lot would be as well staying at home and taking up macrame!
It may be beneficial to read back your own posts, Caliban, in particular your own Freudian Slips and prejudicial remarks...
My apologies to all for this indulgence, which I regard as necessary in my defence.

Perhaps we're all trying to smash idols with our knobkerry, Tengu.
It's when the fun goes out of it that it turns into a far more sinister thing!

Mate, congratulations on transcending the handicap of your birth ethnicity and achieving a higher evolutionary status. I wish you well, you have already surpassed Bono and will in all likelihood become Nelson Mandela within a few years. I hope you have a long and very happy life.
Amandala!

Why would you come to that conclusion? Anyone with an internet connection can see as many sleazy pictures as they want. I mean, thanks for the offer, but being neither Black, female, or indeed, a believer, I'm not that interested thanks all the same!
that actually did make me LOL. I was thinking more or less the same thing.British Red said:
Hehe
What?? If Drew thinks women are better than men, then I personally, see no reason to discourage him. I consider it a most worthy and honourable position. Hehehe
