This drive for 'gender equality' aggravates me. Women are out-performing men in every area of academia: they are getting higher grades (on average) at A-Level and are getting more 1st Class degrees from top rate university's.

But there is a time-lag. No-one gets to partner starlight out of UNI. If one implies that companies will promote the best candidates to high up positions than surely its just a waiting game until more women get said positions (as previously stated they are now the better candidates).

The senior partners qualified lets say 25 years ago. At that time more men where qualifying than women so it makes sense that more men are in those senior positions. So logic would suggest that in 15-25 years from now, more women will be in higher positions. And we're seeing this happen.

The notion that 'business's' have a systematic bias towards men is absurd. The degrading notion that women need these 'reviews' also undermines their achievements.

'Positive discrimination' will be probably be needed for men to get jobs come 25-30 years...
