Sex bias

Systemic discrimination in the workplace continues to be a problem. While women have been the centre of attention of sex discrimination laws in recent decades, the current sex discrimination commissioner has highlighted the issues that men now face with sex discrimination in the workplace. Men who want to spend more time with their children have tended to suffer with a lack of flexible work options. The right to flexible work arrangements ought to extend to both men and women according to the commissioner. There are still high numbers of women who experience sexual harassment at work, so some have questioned whether men ought to be the priority of the sex discrimination commissioner. However, the fact remains that discrimination of any kind against any individual, regardless of their characteristics, ought to not be tolerated legally or socially.
