The usual crap. It's never men are underrepresented in childcare, primary school teachers, daycare centres, nursing etc etc. Perhaps women don't want to be MPs in the main. To be so driven to say anything and do anything to get ahead is abnormal.
Women also have been found to earn more for their level of seniority. As on average women take time off work for children, then can take the next year off with the child, and repeat as many times as they want they don't get promoted as fast. Women also wish to persue a career at expense of all else far less often than men do.
I want to work. I like working. I like being important (relatively speaking compared to sitting in front of the TV in my pajamas). My wife already talks of going part time after having children. Do we need councelling? She might be flawed in wanting to have a family and not chase promotion by working all hours of the day and night.
Women in prison is a bad thing. So, locking up men is OK then?

Unfortunately, it is no different throughout most of the rest of the world.

I'm impressed with the name of the outfit:United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women.
Just wanted to see what their letterhead stationery might look like. Business cards must be two-part fold-out affairs.
So: the U.N.C.E.A.F.D.W. ("Un-keef-do"?).
Wait; here's the wiki art on it; it's the CEDAW, and been around since '81 after a '79 resolution. US hasn't signed on.
LOL - they're against 'Mothers' Day' as being oppressive against women.
I think I may have found my retirement-job. I wanna position with these folks. Looks like steady money for minimal work - it could take me 30 years to bring the US around to accepting this Convention and its protocols.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Saudi Arabia is a member. Honestly, how high can the standards be?
