Want more examples of feminists being communists, here they are!

Because everybody knows, equality should mean EXACTLY half of every job position should be male and the other half should be female. And we should also have 33.33% blacks, 33.33% whites and 33.33% asians working at every job too! Wouldn't that be great guys? Complete 100% equality! We shouldn't be focusing on equal OPPORTUNITY like those evil MRA's are. YAY FOR FEMINIST RHETORIC! =)

For as plagued with feminism Britain is, I think this will fail harder than the anti-pornography act.

51 per cent of the population are women
5.6 per cent of the population are Black, Asian and minority ethnic women (source ONS Experimental 2007 Population Estimates by Ethnic Group. It is estimated that the percentage of females that define themselves outside the categories of 'White British', 'White Irish' and White Other' is 5.56 percent of the total population of England and Wales.)
10 per cent of the population are disabled women

20% of women are disabled? According to the British home office.

And of course, nobody there read Warren Farrell who explains that differences in pay and promotions are due to men's better education, choice of occupation, longer work hours, higher risk taking, more dangerous jobs, etc

Or rather, they choose to ignore Warren Farrell.

Now they will have to give hiring preference to women with less working hours, less work experience, who are risk averse, who don't work night shifts, who refuse transfers to Alaska.

Next: 50% quotas for women in professional boxing championships.

Keep in mind that there probably aren't enough qualified women out there to accomplish this, so it will probably be done by creating more makework positions with lower requirements to boost the numbers.

Great.

That would be wonderful, assuming that they would represent their population adequately.

However, if we're just going to turn away men in order to increase this number, then it's politically correct garbage.

This might be a little bit more reasonable if they also aimed for 50 percent quotas for women in suicide rates, homeless rates, workplace deaths and prison populations.
