I'm pretty sure it wasn't the feminists that came up with chairwoman in the first place.

A quick google suggests that the Man thing being gender neutral is not correct.

Origin of the species: Is


BTW, what better things do you think feminists should be doing? Isn't the insidious assumption of a default position of 'maleness' exactly what they should be challenging?

But do men have to prove they're equal?

So the reason there's (vastly) more men in top jobs is because of merit? Women simply aren't as good? You don't believe that many areas of society still do inherently value traditionally male qualities over female ones regardless of whether those attributes are helpful for the job?

no the ones in their 40's, 50's & 60's in the top jobs are there after 30 year careers. I have seen a lot more in business in the last ten years as they hit their forties.

in 20 years it will be different. Assuming you don't ruin it by parachuting airheads with big tits in to make up the numbers in top jobs.

plenty of great role models but while you have quota's and positive action it will fail.

It hasn't worked in the House of Commons.

Only 22% of MPs are female, and the Lib Dems are the worse party for equality.

In fact when countries like Kazakhstan, Rwanda and Argentina have more women then the UK in their equivalent lower houses in government there is clearly something wrong here.

Perhaps there would be more if they were selected on the basis of their ability not their anatomy, or do you think that wimmins only short lists promote 'equality' rather than the perception of being a shoe in ?

If more women wanted to be top executives they would be.
