        I'm all for women in power, IF they are qualified to be there if not get qualified then try for the job. Nobody should be hired because of their gender or even race, should always hire the best person for that particular job (i.e. soneone with the right qualifications n attitude)

        No! That would be sexist. Jobs and promotions based on merit. Not surprised by the BBC considering last year's recruitment stated white males needn't apply!

        BBC as well? You have ruined the industry with commentators, reporters that know nothing, trying to get firms to follow you is shocking

        Positive discrimination and positive racism seems to be the order of the day. Apparently anything bad can be made good by putting the word 'positive' in front of it!

        If a woman's good enough then ofcourse but not just because she's a woman. But that seems to be what feminist's want regardless.

        But WHY? Equality is across the board, ALL this talk of more women, more blacks, more LGBT, more Aliens, more cheese, more more more! Whatever happened to most suitable candidates

        This is a great idea so often you hear of women being overlooked for top jobs that are given to male counterparts with nowhere near the qualifications of the woman. 👍

        It shouldn’t matter what you are as like nah as you’re capable. Saying we need more women just because they’re women is an insult to everyone
