Is struggle quite a bit, trying to work out if I am knowingly or unknowingly discriminatory. As a white, male, middle aged, employed, healthy, heterosexual, C of E person, I am more likely to discriminate, than be discriminated against.

Now just say you have a male and female commuter living within a standby ticket of LHR or LGW. Who would more likely need to move nearer to the base of operation for a pregnancy related reason? Should there be a requirement for women of a child bearing age to live within a reasonable LAND travelling distance from their operating base, or should all employees do the same, regardless of sex?

As I see it, this requirement will only affect women, therefore it would appear on the face of it, to be discriminatory.

I look forward to some more views on this.
