Asian Supermarket separate queues for men and women

The customers appear to just form the queues themselves.
Personally i Think it's a terrific idea
Getting stuck behind some of the awful women as I have in the past dilly dallying
This could be an ideal solution

The footage nevertheless sparked a heated reaction after being shared on social media.

Patrick Christy did a YT a couple of weeks back at one of the Calais Camps. The aid agencies had set up some food/feed stations. It would seem that the few women that were present were in a separate queue for waiting for the grub to be handed out.

The Mail should be ;printing an apology to the store owners. When it's reported more accurately like in The Express there's barely a story.

I take it their objection is to men being in shops in the first place when that’s women’s work.
We need to get Pete Hesgeth to send over some testosterone

Non-story or not, it neatly highlights the attitudes towards women of a significant proportion of our wonderfully multicultural country. Even though they weren’t forced into lines, the reason they’ve done it is cultural. I’m amazed so many people are ok with this, but then I guess that’s how we’ve got into this position in the UK.

Dare I ask so what?

If people choose to do something of their own free will, and it doesn t impact anyone else, and it s not against the law why should anyone else care?

ETA what are the “attitudes “ towards women? The store isn’t segregated, women and men mix when doing the shopping? So….what’s the problem?

Fortunately PH is a bastion of women’s rights.

I'm definitely not "OK" with it the same way I think that dividing up genders/sexes should be kept to a minimum generally. But it seems The Daily Mail has deliberately misrepresented the situation and it sounds to me as if the lines weren't always separated by sex. They just were when that photo was taken - hence that's what was published

Are we allowed to say Asian supermarket?

Somebody, somewhere, is offended

Like I say, it’s a non-story by the Express version. No laws broken and no harm done and no one should care about this ‘incident’ in the slightest. But it’s a visible reminder that a lot of other cultures have a different attitude towards women and that’s definitely something people should care about. It’s not exactly a controversial viewpoint to see it as an issue.

It's not something I would generally worry about (for the reasons I mentioned earlier) but, regarding the bit in bold, cultures dilute over time. The good/acceptable bits tend to remain, the bad bits tend to disappear, either naturally or via legislation. The culture my grandma lived under is nothing like the culture my daughters live under. You only need to look at how equality rights have been enshrined in UK law over the last 50 years if you want to see how cultures and what is deemed acceptable/unacceptable has changed.

Am I misreading, or is this simply a case of a load of married couples going to the shop together and then 'separating' in order to claim one free bottle of vegetable oil each, thus doubling the amount received by each family? One would presume that a couple shopping together would be treated as a single unit for the purpose of the transaction and receive only one bottle of oil.

That was also my assumption.

They could just pretend they don’t know each other

What a total non-story.

Clearly the big UK supermarkets are being equally discriminatory, with their separate Male/Female toilets, whereas Lidl, in their quest for equality, have just the one that anybody can use.
