Wait... So you mean that choosing one gender over the other is discriminatory? Wow... Who knew, right?

How very progressive.

So sexism is unidirectional then?

Good. No more GenderEqualityWhenItSuits

'What's good for the goose is good for the gander' springs to mind.

Can someone please explain to your slovenly journalists / subs that there is no such thing as the Employment Equality Act 2010. It’s the Equality Act 2010. Must try harder.

Great news for once!

surely uniofoxford are merely facilitating the fellowship and not themselves in breach of equality laws. I for one would sooner Oxford followed the original direction and intent of the Randall-MacIver foundation

True equality

I hope this fellowship wasn’t the gift of a donor whose intent is now being ignored. donorbillofrights

Women demanded equality! This is what equality looks like.
