Nice thinking, Andy: I didn't think I WAS a part of a 'mistreated minority'.... but it appears I belong in 2 such groups: 'old git' and 'fat man'.
However, to the best of my knowledge, no one else has ever suggested that 'fat-ism' and 'old git-ism' existed..... until now.
However, because I bother to read, learn and listen, I note that 'Sexism' is a regularly listed 'ism'. Thus, I doubt that it's actually immoral (or illegal) to discriminate against me as a 'fat old git'.... but I think you will find that is BOTH Illegal and Immoral to descriminate (in EITHER direction) on the basis of sex. And that's EXACTLY what having a 'women's trophy' DOES!
And that's the POINT!
However, if you'll confirm you will be happy to have an 'Afro-Caribbean' trophy.....and you are prepared to help RUN that 'cup', then I'll let you have your 'women's trophy', too.....
It's not THAT bizarre..... just check out the MOBO awards...... it would be hard to be MORE, BLATANTLY, DISGUSTINGLY RACIST than T*H*A*T 'trophy'..... even if we had asked Hitler to be one of the judges!
