As someone working in the corporate world I am continually shocked by the lack of women in senior roles. I see people who have all the soft skills, qualities and knowledge, who do not rise to the seniority required. This is an obvious and quantifiable element of sexism, but it exists in far more subtle, difficult to measure forms. Why do we need sexual equality? Because everyone should get the same treatment no matter what their gender, race or background. Because we can only have the best society by letting people reach their full potential and to be rewarded properly. Because a fair society is a society where everyone feels that their hard work, ability and achievement is compensated. Because nobody should feel uncomfortable because of their gender. Because so much talent and ability is wasted as a result of sexism.
