Society rightly craves greater more diversity in the way its businesses, institutions and systems are composed. But is our obsession with measuring this with 鈥渞ational鈥 metrics ruining any chance of a truly free, fair world? Rory鈥檚 joined by the Darwinian philosopher and rationalist Helena Cronin from the London School of Economics 鈥 who vividly describes the subject as a 鈥渢hird rail issue 鈥 touch it, and you die鈥. She explains how measuring outcomes 鈥 percentage distributions of males and females across the employment world 鈥 is a terribly blunt instrument to assess the complex world of sex differences, and the very real issue of discrimination in the modern world.
