Summary/Abstract: Women and men still work at different speeds. In a very “non-biased”, chic and freak, white and black, male and female, EU and out of Europe, society is very much like a watch. One brand, formerly known as the “gender equality” watch stirred up a lot of fuss and “much ado” among modern people, so it was changed for the “equal opportunity” watch. The skeptics should not envisage it as one of those Swiss made types. It would be pointless to do otherwise since – in terms of employment at least – things are far from perfection. Men are so much like the second hand (of the watch, undoubtedly!), while women are still the minute hand. Both the minute and the second hand of the watch do basically the same thing, i.e. show the exact time, only the latter benefits from an increased speed.
