We all know that men aren’t really from Mars and women aren’t really from Venus, we are both from Earth and there are more similarities between sexes and genders than there are differences. But, even after many decades of campaigning there are still issues with gender equality across many areas of life from equal pay for equal work to shared parental leave or even just differences in ways of working.

There is a vital difference between the sexes. Boys cannot have babies, but girls have a choice.

As for equal pay, I've never heard an answer to Enoch Powell's question; "If you can pay a woman less for doing exactly the same job, why does anyone employ men?"
