prime example of education not always equalling intelligence

How about we measure people on effectiveness, not chatting. This old BS is quite frankly a bunch of bs.
This man here is going right to hell when his game is over

The thing about Arsenal is, they always try to walk it in!
IT Crowd covered this 11 years ago. I have next to no interest in half the "gossip" that goes on in the office but just a few mins keeping up to date on whatever is being discussed regularly is a lot easier than not being involved and helps keep morale up.

Nah, balls to this.
I'm not going to pretend to like something to try and keep up with a conversation. Many times I've zoned out when friends started talking football down the pub - luckily i'm not the only non footie fan in our group of friends so there's usually someone else to talk to.

You could always just start insisting they talk about something everyone can participate in

What a silly woman.

She looks like she could suck the joy out of an entire company just by walking in the front door.
I couldn't think of anything worse than working in a field or department with all women who will not shut the **** up about reality TV shows and stars. So I get her point, somewhat. Here's the thing though. I'd simply tune them out of the conversation and get on with my work.

they'll probably already know!You'll be safe then

Given that every man in office is married or has a long-term gf, I think chatting about conquests could get real samey real fast

Doesn't seem like a sensible message for the head of the cmi to be giving; where it becomes about the purposeful erosion of male traits rather than promotion of a balanced and productive work environment.
This is not constitutional to the cmi charter.

White CEO feminist? No thanks.
You can be pretty sure that Ann Franke doesn't support all women in her efforts now cant we.
There should be no space for her regressive views on acceptable gender norms for adults.
My stunning friend Davina for example is both a keen spectator and player of football and thanks to her athletic frame is doing quite well playing on the pitch as well as in her other sporting pursuits on the cycle track , weight lifting and MMA fighting when she's not pursuing her interest in autopogonophilia.
True feminists should be seeking to smash the capitalist patriarchy not be attempting to co-opt its corrupt power structures for the benefit of a small set of already privileged, overwhelmingly white women!

Is she suggesting that cricket fans aren't sports enthusiasts?
Cricket fans are probably more civilised in her mind... it's anything "lad"-ish that she presumably gets triggered by and wants to control.
