Harriet Har-person should be more careful with her illustrations. As Minister for Women and Equality, she should know that making the statement, 'stay-at-home- daughter', etc.. is not in accordance with Equal Rights and could be construed as Sex Discrimination. On the practical side, in the world where real people live, sons are just as likely to be carers as daughters. This has been the case for many years. I think that the self-appointed 'Equality Champion' should take a refresher course in Equal Opps, although maybe her title gives away her true leaning in these matters.

Statistically the vast majority of stay at home carers are women. I think it's a bit pedantic to criticise for that.
