Cyclists required for Olympic opening and closing ceremonies

Not the same thing AT ALL.

No, but this very forum has a women only section, women only drinks and women only rides. All of which are exclusionary and none of which the men have seen fit to get angry about.

From what I have discussed with various forum ladies, the rides are very justified.

I do feel that a fair few of our lady riders lack a bit of confidence to come out on the mixed rides though.

As for ladies drinks, whats wrong with a girls night? No different to my male mates coming round every few months to drink scotch and play Fifa.

Lol what a load of bollocks! The economy is in ruins and the forecast is grim; and look what they are blowing money on; costumes and ceremonies for fairies.

Tbh if the government hadn't fucked me in the ass so hard for the past few years with the taxman, I wouldn't really mind.

Do tell. How did the taxman and the big bad government fuck you?

^^Nothing wrong with any of it.
But if we didn't know why they had been organised would it be seen as reasonable for us to get shirty about them before attempting to ascertain the facts?

er, where do they say no women?

Just wondering, because I would find it truly outrageous if they really did only want men.

Sorry, but seeing "male only" with no explanation is worth getting your dander up for.

Well said.

Viz? Looks like.

Too hard to find the link

Anyway, listen. This thread is for something else, not this discussion, and so I'm withdrawing.

This one in particular is from here: http://amodernmilitarymother.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/579px-millie.jpg

Massive thread hijack indeed but at least its a thread that only requires reading the first post to get the important info.

it's been established already why it's a male only ad.

Of the auditions which have already taken place women seem to have outnumbered men by 8 to 1. Looks like they're just trying to achieve parity, not exclude. Ads placed 3 weeks ago addressed the shortage of male volunteers. Doesn't stop anyone from applying though.

I feel my dander going down now...

I have upper body strengths.... I also have a beer belly... need I apply? can do madwhipskidz and 1 & 1/2 backwards circles....

I'm 5'11''... though female. Can I be a boy in 2012?

18+ only omgg QQ

I know a man who might be able to help you out. Does all kinds of surgery for snout or bog roll.

PM me if you want his deets.

I don't give a crap about some people in lycra wearing numbers and trying to prove their worth.
I do care about money.

If it was £500 would you wear a leotard like this?

I would be very grateful if less men would apply, it ups my chances of getting in and seeing the fireworks.

Frankly, I'm not going to get a ticket any other way.
