Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:

“Yet another case where an official body is caught under the Equality Act. Not just any organisation but the Police. found against because of direct discrimination against men. This is not the only force caught out for direct discrimination in recruitment, promotions, training opportunities etc. Nor the only core public service to do so, the Army and RAF have lost such cases too. That there are such cases shows that when realise what their actual rights are (rather than some HR departments made up rules) they can assert them successfully.

There are whole organisations usually supported by public money to tell women about their “rights” and practically none for men, certainly none funded by the public. A minister for boys and men could usefully begin by huge publicity campaigns that tell men what their actual legal rights are! And fund bodies who can support men achieve at least their rights under law. Thus far the huge campaigns and funding have all created the idea that Equality Act protects “women” and women and girls only. Yet in fact the protected characteristic is “Sex” (as recently confirmed to mean biological sex) and that means men and boys too. The other important thing is that generating more and more such cases will spread the message that in fact males can be and are discriminated against.”
