I work in an industry that was historically a male industry. Now women are being promoted above men simply because they are women rather than on merit or experience. Its the same in many other industries and not just related to male/female but for ethnic reasons.
Look at the police and fire service for example. They reduced the height requirements and the strength tests to get women and small Asians etc into the mix simply to meet some unreasonable target. The result is now that some fire service staff don't have the physical strength to carry someone out of a burning building and coppers who cant hold their own in a pub brawl.
People should be recruited/promoted to do a job because they can meet the requirements for that job, not dumb down the job so that they can meet some other non-sensible requirement.
