    Yes, don’t you see, these laws designed to reduce discrimination might actually make things worse! And it’s a woman claiming it so it clearly must be true.

    Maybe the Mail should stop hiding behind weasel words and faux concern and just do a headline saying WE THINK WOMEN SHOULD BE SECOND CLASS CITIZENS IN THE WORKPLACE.

    “Top Business[person]” is a secret code for ill-informed self-aggrandising wanker. That is what I have learnt from the last two days of Mail front pages.

    It’s true, “so many marriages end in murder trials”. Everyone knows someone who killed their spouse. Erm…

    “Why do so many marriages end in murder trials”. I didn’t know that Bluebeard was The Mail’s target male reader. Makes sense now, I guess. “Because they nag on and on and on and open doors they shouldn’t” is probably not the answer to the headline, but then again I have yet to read the piece.

    “Leona Lewis punched In face” Man, wimin are taking a tonking on this front page. Its like pure Daily Mail impotent id on the rage or something. I wonder if the outfit she wore during the assault really did flatter her figure? Right, I’d better read Female Magazine to find out.

    Top businesswoman = I’m all right Jack, everyone else should just shut up.

  6. Original Paul

    Top businesswoman = no friends.

    “so many marriages end in murder trials”
    Because women insist in leaving the kitchen sink and going out to work (because work at home isn’t work of course). And insist on equal pay.
    It’s all our own fault, clearly. Who’s that ‘top businesswoman’? It’s not that Ruth Lea is it?

    I would like to commiserate my married friends on their impending murder.

    It’s true though; I’ve been married three times and each time the wife has murdered me.

    Lewis must’ve taken a right battering, otherwise there’s no way she’d where sunglasses at night.

    I was reading similar stuff written about allowing women the right to vote.

    Allowing people more personal freedoms will always have naysayers such as this but we shouldn’t bother listening to them.

    As for marriages I’m sure the percentage is probably less than 1%

    Well I’ve been married fifty years. I have been involved with murder trials but it was a long time ago and my wife was not party to the proceedings :-)

    >Top businesswoman = I’m all right Jack, everyone else should just shut up.

    Basically this. A “top businesswoman” is not going to benefit from maternity leave rights and the like because they’re an employer not an employee; if anything they’ll find them a burden and a nuisance. It’s like the Mail have gone to a fox and returned with the headline “top fox says wire fences may actually be danger to chickens”

    [...] My parents take the Daily Mail as their main newspaper, and I’m too cheap to buy an alternative, so I usually get to at least glance at the paper every day (sample headline from last week: “Why do so many marriages end in murder trials?”) [...]

    Does anyone on here know any person who murdered there spouse?

    I’d saying, bearing in mind there are 60 million people in this country, and there are only about 250-350ders a year in the UK, and a tiny minority of those are domestic, not many marriages actually end in murder.

    As for The Mail’s headline – they have managed to find 1 woman, to say that Labour’s equality law is rubbish. Probably for a hefty fee.

    Backing up there long held claim that women are inferior to men, in most aspects of life, and shouldn’t expect equal pay.

    How equality laws can possibly be deemed bad is beyond me. Unless your a newspaper backing bawdy, drinking, male dominated city culture – and you’re afraid that some of your mates may lose out on cash
