Juts a quick aside, the latest unemployment figures showed that the number of unemployed women increased by 21,000 on the quarter to reach 1.05 million, the highest figure since the three months to May 1988. Much attention was lavished on this - despite the fact that there are nearly 1.5 million unemployed men. An issue covered before.
However, maybe the BBC look at this site as many of their bulletins caveatted the announcement of the female figure with a 'we should mention more men continue to be unemployed than women!

What do you expect from an organisation infested with men hating leftie dykes?
Notice how they prattle on about hoe the 'cuts' will effect women, yet fail to mention that all the 'real' jobs that went (such as in construction or manufacturing) were lost by men.

yes and did we at any time hear people complaining about the public sector discriminating against men before the recession? If the cuts are impacting on women so much then it's mainly a consequence of the government failing to employ men previously. These men never even had anything to be cut in the first place. They were unemployed then and they're unemployed now.

I happen to be searching around for good subject matter. I appreciate what steps you took to write about this.
