Closing gender pay gap 'won't solve inequality'

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1246489/Harriet-Harman-dealt-blow-report-finds-bridging-gender-pay-gap-NOT-key-ending-inequality.html#ixzz0f4IBNi6o

Closing the gender pay gap would do almost nothing to end division in British society, the Government's equality tsar declared yesterday.

Harriet Harman's drive to achieve equal pay for women has little relevance to the wider issue of tackling inequality, Professor John Hills said as he launched a landmark report into inequality.

He said family background and class play a far larger role in shaping future earnings than gender, in a major blow to the Equality Minister and one of her key policies.

Here we go again.

The latest feminist attack on the English language.


In this case by none other than our own minister for Sexism and Inequality - Harriet Harperson.

Given Harriet Harman's crusade for political correctness, it is surprising that it has lasted so long.

But the word 'chairman' is finally under threat of being unseated.

Miss Harman, the leader of the Commons, wants to ban the term and force MPs to refer to the gender-neutral 'chair' or ' occupant of the chair'.
