i have to go to a lecture on this shortly. to promote getting more women into business, and into higher roles in those businesses. is this a good thing? or is it just reverse discrimination?

Why can't you eat the sandwich? Best filling ever, is sweet potato mash with red onion, and really really strong cheese. Something on the lines of a cheddar.

Probably not that much in 100 days to be honest. But it's totally undoing any benefit you might think you're getting in alcohol abstinance. And since you're actively increasing toxin levels it's a bit silly as a piece of detox.
And it won't do the tinest bit of good long-term in terms of weight loss either. Incidentally, what on earth does a veggie on a no-carb diet eat?

However, I can say with some confidence that not all men will take a year (or more) out during their career to raise a child. So, with that in mind, is it a shock when men are promoted over women?
Yes, I know there is more to the argument than that, but considering how short sighted many people are, that justification is all they need.
Alt: Ham, cheese and pickle is rather good. As is warm ham/bloody sliced beef with horseradish. As a northerner though, I do appreciate a good chip butty.
However, for an all time best, I don't think you can really top freshly cut hot roast chicken, on buttered white bread. It's just fantastic.

All they do is reinforce a stereo type. As the grumpy one said above when you start to give preferential treatment to any group you are immediately singling them out as different therefore vicious circle appears. People who go into business should be the best person for the job (etc) rather than the best person who will fit within the rigid criterion we have set.

See also 'we need more black people in the police force'. No, we don't, we need more people in the police force capable of doing a fair and honest job, it doesn't matter what colour their skin is. Besides, it's assuming that black people actually want to become coppers.

but I read it as 'promoting the idea of working in business to women', which is a very different thing. Choosing someone for a job based on gender, race etc is wrong. Getting out and promoting e.g. joining the police to the black community is not wrong.
So no, it's not discrimination based on what you've said. Quotas saying that '50% of the workforce have to be women' would be though.

Cheese is the best thing on sandwiches.
Feta salad pitta, salami and cream cheese, houmous cheese salad, brie and walnut, fuck it, even a bit of laughing cow spread on a round of bread is gorgeous. Also, bacon, butter, soft white bread. Simple. Boss. Carnivorous though, so not your bag.
Also, cutting out bread makes you lose weight, but you don;t need to cut out carbs altogether. I've lost a stone and I eat a lot of carbs and have an almost vegetarian diet.
