"Stephen Evans, campaigns manager at the NSS said: “Being male isn't a genuine occupational requirement for a science teacher in a state school. Any attempt to try and make it so is unjustifiable.
“The Government's encouragement of schools run by religious groups will bring with it increasing demands for religious customs and practices to be accommodated within our education system.
“If religious demands to discriminate and segregate along gender lines are accommodated, teachers of the 'wrong sex' will be disadvantaged and children in such schools are unlikely to be adequately prepared for life as equal citizens in a liberal democracy – which should be one of the fundamental aims of education policy.
“For some religious groups, it is clear that the primary goal of state education should be to instill parents' religious beliefs in children.
“Equality must not be sacrificed in the rush to satisfy their demands.”"

"The law has sparked increased incidents of mobs of men publicly harassing, assaulting and undressing women for wearing short skirts in public places."

(Stephen Fry interview with the guy yielded an interesting comparison between child rape and homosexuality)
