Woman Appeals Ban On Female Train Drivers

Great, now some broad who doesn’t know her role is trying to make waves in the Neva. Lovely.
MOSCOW – A young Russian woman will challenge regulations that ban women from driving trains on the metro after the Supreme Court rejected her legal case on Thursday, local media reported.
Student Anna Klevets applied to work as an assistant driver on the chandeliered underground system in Russia’s second city, St Petersburg, last November.
But she was turned down on grounds that women cannot work with dangerous heavy equipment, Itar-Tass news agency reported. (H/T - )
Eh, I say let her drive the Metro. What’s the worst that can happen?
Heh. I am so getting hate mail for this.

“some broad who doesn’t know her role” - Would you care to define just what our role is?? Waits patiently to see just how deep he digs that particular hole……

K - To be brutally honest, I have no idea. If they can drive cars, why not trains?
E.L. - Um . . . I think I left something on the stove. (Runs out of the room.)

At least you didn’t play off on the line….women cannot work with dangerous heavy equipment.

Since it is a Russian chick, Wyatt probably thinks her correct role is posing for cheesecake pictures.

Solitary Knight - Good point. Trying to keep it a semi-family blog.
Marvin - Well, since you mentioned it . . .
