I think the American left overlooks racism in its own ranksdead on . <| sep |> Lol . Yeah there are departmentsagencies that are going to have a greater male to female ratio . But each department has its own HR hiring regime . I also think the Employment Equity Act is an outdated piece of legislation that should be reexamined . People go around calling the federal public service unrepresentative on small margins , and sometimes move the goal posts to do it . When it comes to the whole of the federal public service , women are overrepersented . They are something like 4647 % in the executive cadre , which I ' m not losing sleep over . There are other indicators as well , like women are concentrated in certain occupations that aren ' t likely to break the 95 k point . But I suspect that is going to change . We coming to a point when the Employment Equity Act should be up for discussion , but nobody ' s really doing it .
