As I said earlier, this is a woman who served in the military for 22 years. She knows what it is to work in a man's world, and she achieved distinctions for her excellent service. Hardly the type to suddenly get the wobbles if the chaps at work were being a bit off. She was subjected to a sustained campaign of bullying.

As for these poor, put-upon men being "taken to task" when there is no or very little case to answer: this isn't trial by tabloid. There was an industrial tribunal. There was an official investigation. The accusation of bullying was found to have grounds, including physical evidence, and they were sacked.

Since when is the word "blokes" offensive?

I think "at this present time", anyone with eyes and a brain knows perfectly well that being born a white male in most westen countries gives you numerous statistical advantages over being born into any other cultural or gender sub-group. It's hard enough out there for women who want to carve out a career in a man's world, especially when they are going into completely new territory the way that Moira did. She's a very brave lady. For another woman to cast doubt on the findings of her case when the facts are really very clear and have been upheld by an official investigation is distasteful.
