Alex Mahon, female CEO of Channel 4, commits (in an interview with Cathy Newman) to increasing the number of women in the top 100 highest-paid positions from 34 to 50 by 2023 “at the latest”

Outrageous (video, 1:57). In one breath Alex Mahon states a commitment to equal opportunities for men and women, in the next she commits to increasing the proportion of women in the top 100 highest-page positions from 34 to 50 by 2023 “at the latest”, which will inevitably require discrimination for women and against men, necessarily ditching the “equal opportunities for men and women” principle. There is no longer any pretence that increasing the proportion of women in top jobs has anything to do with merit.
