VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Steve|DATE|1357636170|CONTENT|It&#039;s the same view of equality that the CofE currently holds - that women are differently equal. It&#039;s not equality by any measure. Equality is when men and women can choose freely to do whatever job, whatever hobby, whatever role they like, with no barrier. That&#039;s not to say that women must want to be engineers, only that engineering is an option provided equally.

 [blockquote]Dare I suggest that the culture of sports may be part of that mindset?[/blockquote] 

You can suggest it, but it&#039;s a fairly old-fashioned view of sport, especially post-2012. I&#039;m pretty sure we celebrated Kath Grainger and Jessica Ennis as much as Mo Farah and Bradley Wiggins. If anything, the culture of sports reflects society&#039;s attitude to women, rather than being a cause of that attitude. I have two sons - they both play rugby and cricket. My friend has a son and a daughter - the son plays rugby and cricket, whereas the daughter does ballet. And rugby. The sports clubs I&#039;ve been associated with have none of the lingering sexism Indarjit Singh thinks is equality.|IP-ADDRESS|10.0.119.228, 217.36.222.79, 10.37.24.202|MODERATIONFLAG|
