Yes and at that time the lass’ did not get where they were without having the ability to do so. I have worked with some extremely competent, very competent and average to marginally competent women but all where were they were through ability. I am not saying that women should not be in the service or any job, I am saying we should employ people based on merit not race/gender etc.
How do you reconcile this statement above which seems to say that provided women are employed in roles on the basis of merit and meeting the relevant standards then that is OK, with your original post that was claiming positive discrimination?
Do you have any evidence that better qualified males are not being selected for roles that could have been occupied by better qualified males? Or are you commenting on the report handed down by Elizabeth Broderick?
