I think the OP that you refer to, used two quotes from the same source, but as the second quote started 'In effect', it gave the appearance(well, to those too prejudiced) of linking the two paragraphs.
IIRC a TV news item showed in the US where a racial 'equality' policy was brought in, firms that were only slightly under the required percentages of racial groups of employees didn't get government contracts.

Take, for example, Lewis Hamilton and Heinz-Harald Frentzen. Heinz has been driving in Formula One for many years and not won anything significant, whereas Lewis won the championship in only his second season (should have done it his first, but hey-ho). Surely you don't expect Heinz to be paid more than Lewis.
Did I miss something in the bill, which said this only applies to women?

Experience means that you know the potential problems that can occur and how to solve them. There comes a point where further years of experience make little difference, but that point is not one month.
The Formula 1 analogy is a bit silly as it depends on the car that they are driving, experience gained in other driving categories, and whether you are 'allowed' to pass someone(Heidfeld?) on the final lap of the final race so that you can win the championship.
All previous mentions of this type of policy over the decades has involved comparing women's wages against men's wages, not the other way around.
Male refuse collectors in Leeds have had to go on strike because they are going to have their pay cut in order to match that of women who do different jobs. If the jobs are the same, why do so few(if any) women, do the refuse collecting jobs. As it can't be because they are not capable(after all, they are equal
), it must be that they are too lazy.
