I have always been a believer in EQUAL opportunities. Whether you are male, female, blue, green, earthling or Martian, it does not matter as long as the best person for the job gets the job. I know historically there have been issues where certain sectors would not ever employ a specific gender or race/religion for a particular role but things have moved on a lot in the last 50 years. Most issues (not all) these days are down to, and I am vastly exaggerating now, someone who has left school with zero qualifications and expects to get the CEO role at a major corporation just because they are blue/green/LGBTQ+ etc on the basis that there are no other blue/green/LGBTQ+ people on the board of that company. They see it as a right rather than something they earn.
Best person for the job, not quotas is what should be promoted in my view. ITs just a shame I am in the minority these days being a white European male.
