Women and the Working Mans Club

A few years ago, I took to writing to the local papers and some websites, predominantly because I was bored and  stuck in a loveless marriage. Ha ha! As I am again bored I thought I'd post some stuff as a blog for my own entertainment. Most of the stuff was about football but I found this one (which got letter of the week in the Sunday Sun if remember rightly) about women wanting entry to CIU Clubs.



From Feb 2006

I noticed in last weeks edition that Equality Minister (whatever that is?) Meg Munn is drawing up a Green Paper which will outlaw the rules in working men's clubs stopping women from entering the bars.

Oh dear me!  Aside from being nonplussed as to why any right minded female would want to frequent such an establishment, I see it from a different angle.

The rules as they stand, at first glance, seem to have been introduced to allow men to be men and not have to worry about offending a lady with coarse language and unruly behaviour. But there is another point of view.

The regulations also give wives throughout the land some peace of mind when their menfolk go out on the hoy. "Whats this chauvinistic pig on about?", I hear you cry.

Well it's this. There is no danger of the local strumpet getting her claws into the otherwise happily married man who lets his guard slip just because he's had a few! At least so long as she's not allowed in the room. You see, the rule exists not just for the men but also the women. That makes things equal, doesn't it?

My message to all you Meg Munn's out there is this..... Be careful what you wish for!
