Discrimination? Positively!

Some guy on the radio was protesting about the Orange Prize for Women Writers being discrimination against men. What really annoyed me was the response of Shami Chakrabarti who chairs the judges which was to dismiss with a chuckle the issue without even answering any of the points. As director of the human rights organisation Liberty she should have more respect than to laugh at any complaint of discrimination. Obviously, something open to women only is discriminatory - whether it is wrong or even significant is debatable but not dismissible.

As a general tip to managers out there - never dismiss (or maybe more importantly, appear to dismiss) issues that people are concerned over even if you think they are trivial!
