Fixing discrimination by positively discriminating as is now done in the Western hemisphere is self defeating. How do you 'fix' something purportedly broken by doing more of it?
Of course some industries 'they' aren't interested in equalising, rather selective in where equality is sought. Perhaps being conscripted and fighting as infantry is a good thing.
The war of the sexes is the ultimate and last act of distraction to mask a declining economic and social model.
Little Napoleon (Qantas CEO Joyce) exclaimed he wanted 50% female pilots. Unfortunately the facts of the general population mean it is impossible: There are not 50% women pilots.
Whilst HR has control of recruitment it is expected that 'quotas' will, unofficially of course see the percentage as high as can be. Not based on merit but gender.
In many years in industry have yet to see a contract headed MALE or FEMALE, that stipulates different rates of remuneration.
Men ought have the career break opportunities afforded women, but sadly men either work or not. Men ought be able to take as much family leave as they like, at least equal to the other gender.
Men ought be given custody and control of their offspring in 50% of cases.
With respect to the gender pay gap, there is a small gender pay gap, based primarily on the choices people make in the vocation. It just so happens that most of the gap is due to the areas in which people work. Women make different choices, not because of exclusion but because they themselves do so.
