    @mn5 TBF, the company is pretty dumb for saying that is why she didnt get the job!

    Yep, but I guess they can't say they didn't like her (I had an awful lot of words that I didn't use there).

    It's not sexist, it's strongist.

    Feel I should whinge to the media about the NZRU picking me out of the All Blacks for people who were bigger, stronger, faster and better than me. That's just nothing more than #abilityism.

    @mn5 I applied for a job about 4 years ago, I got a rejection letter pretty promptly, I was told they had selected a better candidate that was better qualified; just the way it is in the big bad world.

    Problem was, I knew they hadnt selected anyone, and I was told by 2 people that worked at the place, the 'boss' was intimidated by me being under them given they had applied for the job I had got and had been doing 6 years prior, I also know the person they ended up appointing, was not more qualified than me as well....now if only they had been more honest in thier letter I coulda told the world how my feelings were hurt!

    OMG. Strongism is the worst!

    I have just realised that I employ 8 people and 7 of them are women because they were best suited to their jobs and yet they all insist on saying "heavy lifting required" when we advertise for new staff - then they want another woman. And they only have to lift 10kg, And I shouldn't say that I employ them because I am just a bloke who carries heavy stuff not pays the wages. This patriarchy thing sucks!

    Yep. I prefer to be referred to as "undershort" to butcher a word that you coined I think.

    I have actually experienced the "hit the big bloke, it makes you tough" thing in pubs. On most occasions it ended badly for the undertall guy. Reach is a big thing when hitting people (and avoiding being hit). Quite often you can just hold the top of their head and keep them away - that really drives them wild - hilarious.

    @snowy but it has to have 'ism' at the end to allow you to be offended, and others on your behalf.

    @taniwharugby As mentioned above, I effectively have 8 wives. I am therefor not easily offended and explains why polygamy is a poor option for anyone. I understand why men in cultures that embrace it blow themselves up.

    I also hang out here so thick skin is required. I would actually appreciate it if somebody could be offended on my behalf as I'm not very good at it.

    Colin Craig got absolutely nailed in court,

    http://www.courtsofnz.govt.nz/cases/craig-v-slater/@@images/fileDecision?r=652.377640663

    The judge basically called him a liar too and said he sexually harassed McGregor .Good stuff.

    Yeah but the judge said this about Slater

    "I am satisfied Mr Slater is neither a compulsive nor a calculated liar," the judge said.

    Damn, I really should read stuff before commenting. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Clearly the judge is an idiot.

    Craigโ€™s comments make him look like even more of a fruitcake and delusional.
