Our thanks to Chloe for this. Depressing stuff.
The article includes some comments from Caroline Carr. In April 2012 the Anti-Feminism League posted a piece titled Toadies and their daughters. Ms Carr’s father is Sir Roger Carr, chairman of Centrica, founding member of the 30% club. His Toady award is accessible by clicking on the first link in the piece.
Justice for Men & Boys 
‘ … across a wider range of professional service areas, including law, accountancy and consultancy firms, men and women showed equal career confidence and ambition … ‘
No mention there of ability. Having confidence and ambition does not mean that one necessarily has the ability or the suitability. Clearly, women are to be promoted regardless of either and presumably men, and capable and suitable women, will be expected to make up for their shortcomings, without, of course, ever speaking of the elephant in the room. Reading that item I saw that incapable and unsuitable women will effectively enjoy the same relationship to their male colleagues as wives – enjoying the income while doing nothing to earn it. You have to hand it to the girls for ingenuity; as high earning men turn away from marriage women are denied a life of ease on a high income so they set up a shrill whine and demand positions of alleged parity that give them a life of ease on a high income, which is arguably what a non-executive directorship is.
The article is just another piece of typically gynocentric female wittering, of the ‘men are having more fun than us’ type. My first wife actually told me, after we’d separated and she had to start commuting to London as I had done for years, that she had no idea how ‘exhausting’ it was, she thought I’d ‘been having fun’ (seriously). I had by then come to think of her as exceptionally stupid and immature but over the years I’ve seen that she’s not unusual.

Just reading Charles Moore’s biography of Margaret Thatcher. He points out we have only had two women in positions of executive power – Elizabeth Tudor and Margaret Thatcher.
