A recent extensive, expensive and far-reaching report, funded by the National Agency for Funding Research Into the Blindingly Obvious, has revealed that almost all the patients admitted to maternity wards were women. 'This discrimination seems to have been going on for - well, ages' said Doreen Seacow, spokesthing for the team which carried out this crucial report. 'And what's almost worse, the midwives employed there are overwhelmingly female. The job-title doesn't help, and we're calling for these people, in future, to be known (no, not as "midhusbands" - that would be equally biased, and just silly) as "midspouses".'
'In future, we are calling for the funding of all maternity units to be withheld until they achieve equality in their admissions policy, even if this leads to the closure of some of them. Apart from anything else this might save a whole load of money, which will ensure the government supports our demands. And judging by the outcome of some recent inquiries and prosecutions, it might even result in a greater number of babies surviving the experience of being born in some of the more badly managed and incompetently-staffed of these units.'
