You hop about to protect your prejudices but they keep shining through.
And you jump around to protect your own prejudices and biases. What is your point? Or are your biases somehow more valid?
I'm not interested in a debate about education but how many headteachers are female?
A higher proportion are male I believe but not sure what your point is. You are the one who cares that the actual percentage of people in any given job reflects the wider society percentages. I personally don't care if one gender is more represented in any given job as long as everyone is free to chase their dream job.
Professional football has a greater proportion of black players than simple demographics would suggest.
A lot of black players in the UK are actually foreign nationals who will bugger off once their contracts are up.
What level of representation do you think we should be generally aiming for? The 15% or whatever in the last national census or 33% based upon the number of actual players who are black but aren't UK nationals?
The first female presenters and commentators were not well received by many male fans and viewers. That is changing and rightly so.
As with male commentators, some are good and knowledgeable and others come across as clueless and annoying. Some of the early female commentators happened to fall into the annoying category.
I can never remember the name of the Gills commentator - Jody something - who used to screech excitedly whenever the opposition scored and sounded bored and irritated whenever we scored or looked like scoring. I think she naffed off to BBC Radio Ipswich or something. I think she mentioned on numerous occasions she supported Ipswich.
I've really not had a problem if the "expert" is male or female, black or white or whatever provided the person is competent and adds insight to the job.
You were the one making unsupported allegations of placement, quotas and artificial appointments. It sounds like you find change difficult.
I don't have a problem with change as long as the change is being made on merit and not factors such as skin colour or what you might have between your legs.
