Traditional male jobs will, by law, become equally staffed by women. There is no legislative backing for men seeking equality in such occupations as nursing, traditionally dominated by women. There is no sanction against any employer who refuses to recruit able-bodied white males. Much of the theory used to justify these totalitarian measures are faulty. The difference, we are to believe, is the result of discrimination, not choice.
Many women stay home for several months or years to have or raise children.
Nevertheless, the bonehead logic of Bill 79 would require the workplace to be 50 per cent female, whether they wish to work or not. What the government paints as a flexible arrangement designed to meet employers' concerns is in reality a means of enlisting employers to do the work for it, much as the job of censor is assisted by the willingness of the press to censor themselves. And of course, employers will. The same dishonesty is found throughout the argument for quotas. In the guise of eliminating race and sex as factors in social and economic advancement, it portends a society wholly obsessed with such distinctions.
