There's the idea of positive discrimination and positive stereotypes.

In my world discrimination is discrimination, there's no positive side to it.

To be honest the the answer to the whole thing is easy. Treat everyone the same

Why is it bollocks?

If I treat everyone the same they result isn't the same for them. I'll assume all blind people can read the signs, because everyone else manages. I'll let wheelchair users cope with the stairs, everyone else does. Women should book annual leave when the baby is due and be back when that leave is up.

Is it though? I mean yeah I was being simplistic but in essence equally and diversity is about not discriminating and treating people equally.

It's basically a case of switching off your brain and rewording the textbook. Really is that boring

I think it’s well worth you listen in the training, your posts thus far have shown a dissonance with actually comprehending the subject (or an inability to effectively explain it accurately).

Equality is not always about treating everyone the same – it is about treating people in such a way that the outcome for each person can be the same. This means putting things in place to support people to achieve similar outcomes.

Yes you are right but you would be surprised how discrimantive every day society can be and this is why it's enforced.

Had to do it on mandatory training every year. It's hard going. But basically don't stereo type and give everyone choices no matter if you think they can't make the choice for themselves. And give them the choice every time. Just because they couldn't choose last time doesn't mean they can't this time. It all runs into deprevation of liberties and mental health act too.

Well, it's all bollocks and discrimination is discrimination so I should treat every exactly the same. I don't need training. What a waste of time.

I get what you're saying, it's just legislation that staff should be made aware. I have to update my E&D training once a year. It's surprises me how management don't treat all staff equal though yet they're the ones promoting it.

I think you’ve missed her point actually. You’re perpetuating the same fallacy that equal opps is treating people exactly the same, it isn’t.

OK let me re-phrase. All individuals are treated so they are no more advantaged/disadvantaged than another person.

From doing this course the only thing you really learn is we live in an unequal and diversive society.

The course is bollocks because it's all ideological and we know it's not the reality of the world.

Does make me laugh when I directly compare to my company's actions, they break all rules. Probably not the wisest decision to make all staff do this, might open up a can of worms.

Yup, before you get excited about the abstract, you do need to read the whole thing.

You can also try:

Pletzer, Nikolova, Kedzior & Voelpel 'Does gender matter?' Although its not from a high end journal

Or

Alice Eagly "when passion advocates meet research", again, not the best journal but debunks a lot of things found on 'fact sheets'

So we shouldn’t try and support others in essence because it’s impossible? Apologies that’s terrible paraphrasing but I’m trying to glean that that’s what I’m going to find in these researchers’ view?

" The question was always "How do we get more women into engineering?" My answer was always "Do you think the beauty industry worries about how to get more men into their industry? Or midwifery perhaps?".

Nah that’s you always moaning about your industry. "

You don't have to be a cunt to be an engineer....... But it sure helps your career if you've got one!

Im in the emginerring industry and woman less qualified for the job aretwice as likely as i am to be given a job in the name of diversity

And well he has a point

Why arnt people bothered that woman dominate the health care industry, the fashion industry, and teaching and child care why not put insentives in place for more men in those jobs...i mean its only fair amd isnt that what equality is about..being fair to all

People getting their panties in a twist over equality and diversity.The "Down with that sort of thing" response is highly amusing.

Morpeth

A few years back I got nominated to go on one, which pissed me off quite a bit, as there were other work colleagues far more needing to go on it than me. However, over lunch I clicked with a certain female and we.... err... became good friends, so it was a very worthwhile and beneficial course!

No. You recruit in London and pay people to relocate, silly.

"Equality is not always about treating everyone the same – it is about treating people in such a way that the outcome for each person can be the same. This means putting things in place to support people to achieve similar outcomes."

Excellent interpretation

Thank you x
