“One thing about this in the US. Women cannot blame men for this, They brought it on themselves, They asked for it.”

Indeed.

I like this quote of Wilson:

“And last, let me make one quick appeal to the light of nature. The egalitarians who are pushing for this are not true egalitarians — they want the same access to the same positions for men and women, but they don’t want the same qualifying requirements. A true egalitarian would insist that all positions should be open to both sexes, provided they both were able to meet the same standards. But this whole (very rigged) joke depends on running two entirely different sets of standards simultaneously, and shouting down anybody who notices. So then, o ye treat-everybody-the-samers! When do you think you will start doing that? It’s your religion. Why won’t you practice it? It’s your temple. Why won’t you go in? Is your god scary?

“If we eliminated the double-standard here, we would still have the theoretical problem, but we sure wouldn’t have a practical problem at all.”

Although Wilson didn't explicitly say so, I'm sure he meant that the standards applied to ability to do the job function, not extraneous factors designed to exclude the other.
