It's not devaluing anything, it's pointing something out.

nah that doesnt happen. people employ people based on who will do best for their business. its surely a backward step though to lower the standards of entrance to get into the fire brigade or army front line, to ensure a quota of women. the market place is not a fair and just place. if it was then the vast majority of disabled people may get more work opportunity. the market place is mildy regulated place where the stakeholders go withwhat creates the biggest profit. sexism doesnt exist and it has nothing to do with the process at all.
