Well it is getting the ball rolling like the salvery abolishment, equal pay act they didn't happen immediately did it?
It is about influencing, do you think the Green Party affect the current main parties? I do because when people vote for them, it means the big parties see certain policies that they might incorporate to get voters.
People are worked up because there is an underlying mass effect that doesn't get reported by the media.

What a crap site thedebrief.co.uk is,
thank you very much
Queen Cersei for highlighting the misinformation.
'It should be a criminal offence for a British woman to have an abortion outside the UK more than 13 weeks after conception, on grounds other than reducing the risk of injury to her physical health'. The point is that knowing a sex could help you choose to abort it, sex is not formed at 13 weeks.
He is not talking about legal parental separation for unmarried men - a discussion held many times in TSR Society.
Lesbians and single women shouldn't be allowed to have kidsI.e. stop subsidising sperm banks or IVF (£5,000/pop & 3 allowed under NHS for <40s). If they thought about it, then they can think how they will finance it, their responsibilities & if their parents will be their to help babysitting.
How much research will prove to the Govt. that single mother household children do badly? There so much info already.
This may encourage adoption, so great for children already born.
Girls and women shouldn't be encouraged to go into STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths) subjects Actual "The government should terminate programmes and withdraw guidelines designed to create ‘desired’ gender outcomes, e.g. to increase the proportion of girls and young women studying STEMM subjects."
There is a finite amount in funding, £ should go to students struggling, not take funding for a career that they realise is not worth staying in, not based on gender. Mike did a talk with Brunel students & I think he was impressed by the drive that the engineering woman had & what she said about her other female peers (he's probably got used to women who play the damsel of victimhood).
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x5QksUxM6kY I don't have the stats which show engineers are likely to quit the profession (female doctors prefer p/t after motherhood), he is saying no subsidies for women on that basis
.All boys schools should be encouragedPrivate schools in the past &
http://www.singlesexschools.org/research-singlesexvscoed.htm show that both sexes do better in single sexed schools. Boys are doing badly in comparison, so this method will help both sexes.
Governments should stop pushing for female candidates -... attempts to spin initiatives to get more women into government as unfair to men.What it means is that it is unfair to the
electorate, who get poorly qulaified candidates representing them! So Standards can get LOWER!
Why should there be a spin to have more women MPs? Do they think women will be less better represented? Do politicians ignore the 'men's vote'?
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-16446116Who knows more women might demand: "The government should create a new cabinet position, Minister for Men and Equalities, to represent the interests of men and boys. The office holder should be a man, and should have access to the same level of resources that are available to the Minister for Women and Equalities."? But that might have in the "best of"!
Women should not be appointed to senior positionsThe claim that including more women on boards increases the performance of the organization is not a consistent findingvan Dijk, H., van Engen, M. L., & van Knippenberg, D. (2012). Defying conventional wisdom: A meta-analytical examination of the differences between demographic and job-related diversity relationships with performance.
Organizational Behavior and Human Decision Processes, 119, 38-53. doi:10.1016/j.obhdp.2012.06.003]
The older studies that show positive correlations do not correct for selection bias and omitted variables, etc. When these are controlled for, more recent studies do not find causal relationships between having more women and greater performance:

Norway,government instituted quotas to ensure at least 40% representation of women on boards. The effect of this mandated quota system has been extensively analyzed:
- Ahern, K., & Dittmar, A. (2012). The changing of the boards: The impact on firm valuation of mandated female board representation.

- Matsa, D. A., & Miller, A. R. (2012). A female style in corporate leadership? Evidence from quotas. Northwestern University.
The analyses actually found a
negative correlation between corporate profits and the inclusion of more women. Results of the above studies - one could instead claim that it was the Norwegian government that shortchanged investors by mandating more women on boards!
See tons of quality psychological research demonstrating that decision-making ability of men and women is not that different!
