Gender equality in refuse collection

I remember back in the 80s in the London Borough of Brent, where I lived, there was an upsurge in militant leftism and feminism. Copious funding (money stolen from taxpayers) was pumped into all manner of Marxist schemes in the name of equality, which were essentially social engineering and positive discrimination.

One idea was to stop recruiting men and only recruit women for male-dominated jobs. One of which was refuse collection; the staff were called "dustmen" at the time, whose very job title was offensive to the bolshy harpies & reactionaries.

Recruitment ads were posted. Not one woman applied.
