There's a debate on the BBC 'Have your say' website about pay discrimination, where women get paid less than men. Personally, I think if she does the same job, she should get the same pay. Equally, men and women should have the freedom to dress as they like.There is nothing worse in the summer than trying to work in an office with women, who are wearing lightweight clothing and no collars/ties, and are therefore far cooler than the men.
In my mind, true sex equality has yet to arrive.

What's this to do with skirts? Well, it occurred to me that while the women can wear whatever, I get paid a bit more than them for being uncomfortable in trousers all day. This may sound like a weird justification for a pay differential. Perhaps if I took a drop in pay I could wear a skirt to work?

PS I didn't bother putting a post into the debate - the BBC moderators are somewhat narrowminded when it comes to radical thinking
