Why is there a Minister for Women & Equality and nothing for men?

Question

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minister_for_Women_and_Equality

In this day of discrimination and equality I would say that a Minister for Women & equality doesnt fit the bill. What r yr thoughts.

Answer 1

Men in this modern day do not count!Perhaps they do not moan enough to make their presence felt!Yes!I feel it is a form of direct discrimination!

Answer 2

Indigenous, white heterosexual men are the last people that you are allowed to discriminate against - especially if you should be obese too, lol.

Answer 3

Becuase men genrally get paid more tha women and usually get the promotions denied to women by bosses scared of pregnancy etc.

Its not about equality, but about the simple fact that far more women suffer in the workplace than men.

Its surely not that difficult for you to understand?

Answer 4

I think it would be discriminating without one

why?

cuz women have been looked down by men for centuries

and most government positions are held by men

by having this position

it allows women to take on governmental positions

Answer 5

Because men aren't discriminated against.

Women own 1% of the world's wealth, a quarter of women will experience a violent relationship at some point in their lives . . . blah blah I could go on.

You get the point.

Answer 6

Fairness is exactly the same thing it was yesterday and this discrimination against white, males who happen to be heterosexual is not fair.  

I can't believe the Government is so brazen to announce that this is what they have been doing and what they want to enshrine in law.
