Question of the Week suggestionsEach week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

Sexist GrandparentsMy Pop refused to let my Nanna seek paid employment, insisting that her place was in the kitchen. Any resistance on her part was met by his fists.
He did however allow her to volunteer her time cleaning the local catholic church (so the priest didn't have to deplete his altar-boy grooming funds to hire a cleaner). Because he was a fucking christian, that's why. And a war hero, too.
This sexism has not affected my own employment prospects, but I still feel entitled to bitterly oppose any mention of sexism that anyone might make.
And just you cunts go and try to make something funny out of this offensiveness and pain. You will have never seen a flounce like it.
