Lefty and PC types may be happy to deny this but we do all judge on appearances - it's a human trait seeing as we're hunters and sight is our primary sense. The difference of course is when someone is judged negatively on their appearance. But even then that's not such a bad thing necessarily. If I see a gang of chavs on a street corner and I need to walk past them I'm going to be quietly on my guard - that's self preservation.

If you break down and call out the AA, when you see the van pull up you expect the driver to be male. If it turns out to be female and you assume she won't be able to fix your car as a result then yes that's where problems start.

My point is whereas we should aim for true equality, I think human nature dictates that will never happen.
