This may be a bit harsh; but, having just skimmed Camille Paglia's 'Free Women, Free Men, sex gender feminism' make me wonder is this is merely a continuation of the same vacuous processes inhabiting parts of the US. In particular the Feminist movement.
There seem lots of parallels to Feminism (US style) with the aim of this inquiry.We are looking for 'feel good' commentary, without realizing its nonsense. We excuse someone's stupidity for lifestyle choices, and blame society. But, society is the savior of women, not its oppressor.
I recommend the commissioner take heed of this.
