Hear Hear.
I am really sorry that this conversation has come to this. I am a firm
believer in equal opportunities in every sense of the word, but when I read
Mr Skeats's mail I nearly fell off my chair laughing! It was funny and I
don't think we do the equal opps movement any favours (in fact the opposite)
by this attitude to what was a 'tongue in cheek'comment.
Now, can we move on....?

Oh lighten up folks. Surely the Thought Police don't object to a little
VERY tongue in cheek humour from time to time.
I do hope there is more to social enlightenment than simply leaping on
the slightest hint of irreverence in the hope that it will detract from
whatever other arguments are being made. Now if you really want to
discuss the use of sexuality to promote music and the exploitation of the
male gender's inherent sexism as a means to sell a product then by all
means take it away although I suspect it is a subject for another forum
(alt.music.kylie.pants maybe).
OK OK - how bout I stay and home and prepare Kylie's dinner? That works
for me :)

In an ideal world you would both be at home preparing someone's dinner
and not allowed to send out sexist e-messages!!
