I think that if you take somebody out of their comfort zone, they're going to dislike people because they're not liking themselves in a situation.
I was a cleaner while at university. The job wasn't bad, but I was amazed by how badly cleaners are treated - how disrespected they are by the people they work for.
Scientifically speaking, if I say something, or it gets misquoted, or people put a spin on it... I mean, are you interested, really, in what people are saying?

I know women at work who don't talk about having a baby because they don't want to upset the apple cart, but unless people know what the problems are, why should they engage with it?
It's interesting to see the dislocation between how people perceive a person visually. Apparently on the radio I'm blonde with a big arse.
