"It is at times hard to argue against legislation supposedly promoting gender equality without facing a raft of criticism from people who would wish to label you sexist. However, I fully support women’s rights and believe the equal contribution made by women and men to society must never be overlooked or taken for granted. I also believe that more must be done to close the pay gap between the sexes. However, wasting time and money on reports such as these actually undermines the sex equality fight rather than aids it. The report rather dramatically reveals that women tend to be disproportionately represented in the flexible and part-time employment market. I assume, without needing to have spent hundreds of thousands on a think tank, that this may have something to do with pregnancy and child care. All that the EU achieves in commissioning such reports is pointing out obvious differentiation between the sexes and then subsequently painting a portrait of women as martyrs, something which many forward-thinking feminists despise."@en1
