I’m sick of this bullsh*t.

Just once I’d like to hear that a school or group of schools replied using the term “Grow a pair.”

Keep this up and the United Kingdom will become the United Caliphate.

I was watching a BBC show this year called Torchwood and the entire series displayed this fixation with homosexuality. Two girl characters kiss etc and two guy characters kiss etc. As morally corrupt as American society has become it pales in comparison to the mess in Great Britain.

PC craziness. Let's just eliminate the male gender while we're at it.

Why not let everyone go out for any sport they want — if they can make the team then let them play

That would be equality..

It’s easy. Just do like I did when my wife insisted I try “swing” dancing. I just threw her into the wall. She’s pretty much left me alone since then.

Pfft, we played netball with the girls when I was at school 20 years ago. And girls could play football if they wanted. Actually there was a girl who played on our Cub Scout team for a bit (makes a lot less difference at that age). We also played hockey in mixed sex classes at school as I recall.

Complete waste of time for someone to have to produce policy papers, and no doubt focus groups and some brand new buzz words to boot. On the plus side, if our stupid nanny state government is busying itself with stuff like this, it lessens the possibility of doing any damage meddling with anything important....

Ya know...back in my day, “gender balance” would mean you and your steady sittin’ on a fence, together.

This PC crap is gettin’ way, way outta hand.

What’s next, get rid of the British “stiff upper lip” as too masculine??

[Tax-chick]

Fascinating. I’d never heard of “netball.” It sounds complicated.

What they need is gender equality in the committees and commissions that make up these policies—too many wimmin running the show, if you ask me. These are girly type policies—now, little boys, play nicely and share your toys.

Fire half the women on these committees and fill the water fountains with testosterone and then we’ll have gender equality.

Ya know...back in my day, “gender balance”

I thought "Gender Balance" was like in 'Surf City,' "Two girls for every boy."

It’s very sad, but let’s face it, Great Britain is done for. The US must fight this evil alone.

I’m sick of this bullsh*t.

DITTO!

I am too. I am again just shaking my head!
