... opinion that seems to dominate this discussion, which is
male and female are biologically different so for christ sake treat them different!
This is because the basic idea of this paper is quite a good one, and it's pretty much in the title: "Eliminating gender stereotypes in the EU".
Of course you can interpret a shitload of crap into this title IF YOU PREFER TO, but it might be worthwhile to check the background a little bit.
Gender stereotypes is all about "girls don't like tech stuff" and "man don't like to dress up in beautiful clothing's", and so on.
Could we at least agree on the fact that there are a lot of talented girls out there that we dreadfully miss in our IT world, and that would bring in a lot of interesting innovations? Ask Lady Ada - as an example.
So THIS is what the paper is about. It's about thinking how to tell girls, hey you are not just girls, and boys that they are not just boys.
Of course it's a crazy shame that some people added this puritarian anti-porn bullshit to the otherwise not that stupid document (in fact it seems to be the same person that had all the clever ideas, which does not falsify the ideas, just the person), but thankfully there is a tiny tiny bit of democracy still working in the EU, so that part was skipped.
Sorry for the strong language - but I'm a bit sick of it all.
