Yes, you are right, the problem today is that equality only goes one way. I believe that the policies that we have today will create a very unequal or unbalanced society. The old adage that says that if you treat everybody equally you are in fact treating them differently since everybody is different applies to this as well.
We see the start of the problems in education where 70% of university graduates are women and in most prestigious subjects that are non-technical there is a huge surplus of women. But there is no will to regulate this. On the other hand, in the engineering and other technical studies there is affirmative action to get more female students. I wonder how long this will go on for before something is done?
