The engineer, who represented himself in court, donated his damages to the Young Women’s Trust, which aims to help women negotiate for better pay and male mental health charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably).
I think it's a shame he did it, though fully in his rights, but I don't get the impression he's a total arse.
Dr Bower said he ‘does not deny the existence’ of the gender pay gap, but said there should be equal opportunities over equal outcome. In all fairness I see many women, especially lib-feminists argue this, though I counter with if the outcomes aren't equal then the opportunities aren't really either are they? Unless you believe women are intrinsically less able and the work they do intrinsically worth less.
The campaign was ill thought out, though well-intentioned.
The judge makes me want to spit. Judge Phillips awarded Dr Bower £1,000 in damages after saying he would have felt ‘humiliated’.
