Rio Tinto has a serious "cultural" problem.
an established culture of bullying and sexual harrassment of the few female staff in the largely male workforce.
Bullying and harassment are serious society-wide problems, well beyond the ability of one organisation to correct.
so Rio takes the easy approach. Bows to the woke brigade and says, we will balance the numbers of male and female managers.
this position, they say, is set aside for a woman. But I am an equally qualified, experienced, skilled male. too bad, this job will never be yours.
Rio pretend surprise but, it's okay, they are able to tick the task as, done.
sure, workplace bullying continues. sexual harrassment continues. workplace morale is lowered but
... one woke box is ticked.
well done, Rio.
Perhaps Kelsie Prabawa-Sear of Nature Play WA can apply the Rio non-solution to the non-problem of children's playgrounds.
Kelsie has attended conferences where other people have counted boys and girls playing physical games which they seem to enjoy.
How dare they enjoy!
Kelsie has no interest in asking girls if they are at all interested in, for example, skate parks and pump tracks.
in the Kelsie world, individual preferences are not relevant.
kelsie is ready for the Rio response:
Gather fifty girls. Mixed ethnicity, mixed ability, interest is not relevant.
force them to attend a pump track. Force them to skate and to pump (no, I have no idea, either).
Count the numbers, present a paper at a woke conference in an exotic overseas holiday resort. Gain more academic publication points. Well done Kelsie.
Or, here's my suggestion:
suggest that children go outside and play in the park.
With their friends, boys and girls. Perhaps even meet and make new friends.
with the 5% of women watching, another source of Kelsie hatred, well, they can be parents. Acting, as parents do, as parents. Supervising and just, keeping an eye on their children.
that is my advice.
if Kelsie will forward her contact details, my invoice for consultation will be sent.
