Just to note that in both the Equality Act , and indeed in Court cases, “sex” is the “protected characteristic” and not “gender” and not (as is widely assumed female or women). Thus far case law has followed the line that biological sex is what Parliament meant when it passed the law. In fact this was further reinforced by the “gender reassignment” process was legislated for because it set out a series of biological, psychological and behavioural “tests” before a “sex change” certificate could be issued. Hence the trans. lobby’s obsession with “self identification”.
I make this point because even in this, newsletter sex and gender is used as if they are the same thing. And the point that too few understand, that discrimination against men on the basis of sex is illegal except in three instances; The selection of political candidates (all female shortlists) jobs which are sensitive (basically refuges and sex crime services) and where a male and female candidate have the same scores in recruitment and the panel chooses one on the basis of a stated aim of increasing “representation”. This cannot be long term and the onus is on the employer to prove their discrimination is proportionate (as both Cheshire Police Force and the RAF found out having under-representation compared to the wider population isn’t sufficient). One of the significant blocks to men is their own presumption that the law is only for females. And of course unlike women there are no publicly funded bodies devoted to telling women their “rights”.
