The public opinion about giving all people equal employment opportunities can be divided in two groups: the people who follow the theory of Tougas and those who follow the survey of Fletcher and Chalmers.
Fletcher and Chalmers are the opposition and in their eyes everything revolves around one thing: qualifications. They say that people with more and higher qualifications should receive the employment opportunities.
The opposition’s theory can also be given by the term “reverse discrimination” which indicates that employment equity can stand in the way of the non-beneficiaries to be successful in their job.
Tougas and his followers are leaning towards the goal of employment equity, which means equal opportunities for everybody, male or female. So it won’t be a surprise that they will take action to prevent such gender inequalities.
I prefer the theory of Tougas because I think everybody, male or female, rich or poor, unskilled or high qualified, should be treated the same way. After all, we are all human.
