Our thanks to Nigel for this. He writes:
“To be honest, my career was enhanced by being assigned to people with ‘challenging behaviour’ as it gave me wider experience than female colleagues. However it’s good a man has won exposing (a) sexist assumptions, (b) males do the dirty/dangerous jobs and women hang back, (c) ‘equality’ is a nonsense in reality as clearly it makes sense to use bigger people to deal with things that need it. In reality I can see why the ‘sexist’ choice is made and its logic, but also in the logic would be higher pay for greater risk and a specialist role. The latter creating a ‘gender pay gap’. I wish there were many more such cases, too often women get all the rewards that men get, without actually doing the same job. The hospital managers may query ‘equality’ a bit if they can’t allocate men to tough situations. If they allocate women they’ll go off sick with stress, in my experience.”
