Gender Equality

It’s the maths that concerns me. 

If you commit to gender equality, then once that’s achieved you will be faced with racial equality, sexual orientation equality, religious beliefs equality and so on.

So say you commit to gender equality. Well that’s easy; you’re done at 50:50.

But then if you want to add sexual orientation equality, you’d have to divide one hundred percent by seven (straight men and women, and  LGBTI), or alternatively by using whatever each category’s percentage of the population is.

In a couple of the seven you still need to maintain the 50:50 gender mix.
And overall you have to keep the 50:50 gender mix.

Once having achieved that you then have to move onto race and religion, whilst maintaining the gender and sexual orientation ratios.

Without looking too far into it, I suspect that you’d pretty quickly wander into a world of mathematical impossibilities, and you would be forced to abandon the plan.

But if you stop at gender equality then you’ll be accused of stating that gender is more important than race, religion, sexual orientation or whether you cycle or not, when it comes to, say, political representation (see below).

Mathematically speaking, the politically correct types that are currently promoting gender equality are morons.
