It's a stupid question in a way.

The kind of question that is designed to create a storm of protest if the desired answer isn't given; it's conformation bias started up by some harpie in a boilersuit somewhere.

I'm all for equal division of labour but i dislike the demands for orthodixy that go along with that. Groupthink and virtue signalling. I like plularity of opinion.

If some people don't want to agree that household chores should be split fairly then that's what they think and there will be many of them, I dare say, my old mate Dave among them. But should they be called out on that ?

Not sure' tragedy' is the right word.
The number of women who choose to stay at home
has risen over the past 25 years.
Currently about a third of all women choose to do so..
More than an option it would seem.
I find that astonishing, I wouldn't dispute what you say but there must be some other factors affecting those figures, where are they from?
I don't know how it is possible to buy a house on one person's wage, certainly not an average wage, I wonder if there is a correlation between that fact and the dramatic fall in homeownership in the younger population.
Do those facts refer to women after having children but not for life maybe.

It's a marketing survey, and a pretty typical question to establish consumer behaviours and thinking. The overreaction to this is stupid.

It's an overall figure for women of working age in the UK
who are not in the paid workforce for whatever reason.
Mainly mothers I assume but I haven't seen a breakdown.
In the late 60's stay at home mothers was nearly 70%
it fell to 26% just before the millennium and has risen since.
Stats from Govt sources.

Part time and self employed numbers confuse the picture.

I (painfully) filled out the survey, and the question didn’t come up for me...most likely because I’m awesome.

This was never going to be about Spurs directly asking the question - but rather accepting responsibility for the 3rd Party who created the actual survey questions.

There is literally nothing wrong with asking that question, it's all about what you do with the information. If a lot of people replied that a woman's place IS in the kitchen, so the club started bombarding them with Spurs Ladies info, and maybe some installations to celebrate and inform people about the lives of important women from the surrounding area, then what would really be the issue?

I highly doubt the club are going to start only letting women put pies in the oven any time soon.

Those questions are typically randomly selected from a pool of “personality questions”. Spurs wouldn’t have put the questions together itself.

At my last job, we created “personas” for marketing using these dimwitted questionnaires that were drafted and then analysed by a third party research organisation. I didn’t think it was particularly effective myself.

No idea how the absolute fanny on CFC wrote a full dog-shit article about it. Get a life ffs.

Not for the first time...

Care to explain why you disagree with what I said @ilikeost ?

I'm sorry but if they don't ask questions like this, they will have no idea how many pairs of THFC oven gloves to ship over.

Thankfully the consensus was very different this morning at HW and LH. You can’t dignify and legitimise such a view when it is totally contrary to your brand values and you have a women’s team.

Does anyone have a list of the games we've played in the last couple of years when Kane has been injured? I'm sure I saw that we've actually got an excellent record without him anyway.

It's unfortunately necessary to abate all the dickheads who will suddenly be texting "you're seazon is ova wivout cane lolz"
Try a more relevant thread.
