The thing about this video is that it is sub-optimal for everyone involved

Men and women pray separately in mosques, I think.

I get sick of this 'It's the most natural and healthy thing in the world' excuse for flopping your dugs out everywhere. So's farting, but you presumably don't expect everyone to be fine with you letting rip in the office, do you?

Even more disturbing to me is the idea of it being ok to have the baby in the office in the first place. It's bad enough when people bring their sprog in for a few minutes to parade it up and down to get all the oos and aas and general attention but to have it there all day? Like, screaming and shít? No way could I work in that environment.

There's a new one in Berlin which allows all that sort of thing, mixed worship, lady imams and that. Naturally, reactions to this have been .. well .. mixed.

This I have literally never heard of, to be honest. An old boss of mine used to occasionally bring their older kid into work but they just satw in the corner playing on their console. But babies? Nah.

However, dogs at work has become a 'thing' in London's hipster circles, I believe. Gay men in particular seem to have been at the vanguard of this trend.

The only area where I do annoy them is by pointing out, constantly, that our positive action around recruitment has yielded a thousand lesbians but not a single black person. Given the ethnic mix of the student population I thought it might be a good idea to encourage applications from minority ethnics (not ethnic minorities, that is now offensive).

How do they respond to that? Do they tell you to stop mansplaining at them?

Quite right. Avoiding all that sort of thing is the reason for going out to work in the first place, for both men and women.

Oh, I have probably not understood the scenario. I've heard of the dogs thing though.

Nonsense - if I wanted to avoid needy, immature brats who cry at the drop of a hat I would never have gone into journalism
