Arjen Lubach was tackled yesterday in his talk show De Avondshow with Arjen Lubach by his ex-sweetheart Janine Abbring. She believes that there are far too few women on his editorial staff.
Janine Abbring used to be Arjen Lubach’s lover, but today they work together behind the scenes of his TV shows. Yesterday she was also allowed to enter the studio in the context of International Women’s Day. At the desk she had a rehearsed chat with Arjen about male dominance in the world.
Janine sneezes
According to Janine, it is no longer of this time that almost the entire world is geared towards men. She talked about Amazon’s job application robot that discriminated against women. Candidates with the word ‘women-‘ in their CV, as for example in ‘women’s team’, got a minus†
“Heavy, isn’t it?” Janine told Arjan. “It could be me, but I think you also use that software for your editorial team.”
Apparently she thinks that the editors of De Avondshow are very much dominated by men.
‘That is not true!’
The audience applauded fanatically for this sneer by Janine. Arjen replied: “No, bye! No no no! Ho, ho, ho, ho. That is not true! You also work for us, right?”
Janine: “Yes, but at the time I applied under the name Henk Voetbalbier.”
Arjen: “Oh, yes, that’s true. That was a good letter. That was a nice letter from Henk. That is a nice guest.”
hat
Janine is also angry with Arjen’s thermostat. “Another example: temperature in the workplace. Don’t you notice that all the female colleagues walk around in here in winter with cardigans, scarves and hats?”
Arjen: “Yes, I always find that a bit cosy, don’t I? That’s like Sky Radio turning the Christmas music back on in October. Oh, the ladies are back on their cardigans!”
Janine: “That is because women are demonstrably colder than men. We’re just wired differently. Did you know that the temperature in many offices has been based on men for fifty years?”
hard nipples
Arjen: “That is good now with the gas prices.”
Janine: “I understand they won’t change it, because cold women means hard nipples. Look, my nipples are almost through the sweater. It grinds like crazy. I’ll be sitting on the couch again tonight with Vaseline.”
