Angling for equal rights


I love coming across a story that lets me post this pic of Vanessa.
A New Zealand anglers’ club has had a sex discrimination complaint made against them after they refused to rent women a cabin for a weekend fishing trip.
A group made up of men and women tried to make a reservation, but were told only men were allowed in the cabins.

The Wairoa Anglers Club maintains that they’re not being discriminatory, they’re just trying to protect women. Club secretary Esther Foster says they won’t rent cabins to women “so that you’re not having young girls in with old men. It’s a politically correct type of thing.” Um, ok.
