If it helps, they have prioritised not referring to women as fat Belfast **** that they can spitroast ahead of parity of remuneration.

Please don't trigger me.

What does “trigger me” mean? At least in this context!

The phrase 'gender pay gap' makes me all snowflakey.

A spurious belief based upon extrapolation from limited data. I recently discussed the fabled gender pay gap with a female journalist. I am now more convinced than ever that journalism is a euphemism for churning out and rehashing whatever right-on tosh is doing the rounds at the moment.

But yes. A set of conclusions based upon salary and gender, failing to acknowledge that there may be other factors involved in deciding remuneration. Seems pretty flawed to me.

So yes.

That's no phone box, that's my office! All of the bigger offices went to women, in the name of equality.

OK I’ll do this.

The gender pay gap (for those who don’t know) is calculated as the average paid to a man in the business compared with the average paid to a woman.

There are therefore two ways the gap can occur: men paid more for the same role or more men in more senior roles. There is plenty of evidence that both have historically occurred - hence the desire for businesses to publish their pay gap.

The result is that businesses (certainly in my industry) are looking to promote more women into senior roles. Why is that not a good thing?

Out of interest, which other factors do you feel should be considered before remuneration get people doing the same role?

Oh let's see... Experience, ability, potential, proven results, aptitude, qualifications...

Tell me, how does being female make anyone necessarily the best person for a job?

The gender pay gap is based upon salary and gender, nothing else. In the real world, there are other factors taken into account when calculating remuneration.

But if you want to be right on and PC, don't complain if you're passed over for a promotion, in favour of a less capable female. Got to keep those numbers up, eh?
