It seems Tessa Jowell wants to end the discrimination that is still in the Olympics that allows men to enter more events than women. Read here.
Now I am a firm believer in equality in many things. Men and women should be treated the same and given the same rights. However I notice that when the bias is aiding the women then the cries for equality are ignored. These feminists want it both ways and at the moment they are getting it all their way. Laws are being made and changed to suit their agendas by our politically correct vote grabbing politicians.
To be honest in the case of the Olympics I believe that we should differentiate between men and women but that is because I am an old lumbering dinosaur and believe that women and men are different and women should be treated with respect.
However, in this case I’m with Tessa Jowell. Let’s allow the women to compete the same as men. And to show that we mean it we should cancel any separate contests such as the Mens 200m and the Womens 200m and make it simply the 200m. Both sexes, being equal, can compete equally.
Then we should roll this out to everything else, Wimbledon would be a good start and how about Boxing, that would be interesting.
True equality is a double edged sword. If it was truly applied but positive discrimination seems to be applied here more than anywhere else. The feminists have the best PR and we are, as usual, lethargic but what resentment they are building up. It’s amazing how much we follow the law even when we know it is unjust. It won’t last forever.
We need to come out with a system that gives true equality where practical, differentiate where it should be differentiated and where we all work together.
