Bit sexist isn't it? How do women get away with these 'women only' events? Try having a 'men only' freebie and you'll get reported to the EOC.
Not your fault I know..I'm simply making an observation.Before you criticise someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
That way, when you criticise them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.0 -
I think its to do with getting more women in to behind the camera roles, after all how many women directors can you name off the top of your head compared with men?
Anyway, it no worse than the 'monthly things' freebies, im sure if you wanted them you could apply just as if you argued to the organiser you could probley go on this. Of course you would probley be the only male and everyone else would think you a bit strange.......
I dont think that its fair that the country of Essex isn't included as its in the SE but hey, life moves onI remember when this was just a little website! :money:0
