A: My sister, who was a top QC in the UK, would have rejected the idea of there being a quota for women, as she did right at the beginning of her career ~ which was propelled by her own relative merit throughout and ended with no asterisk and footnote about benefitting from endeavours to 'try to include more women in this bastion of the man's world we inhabit' ~ but, while respecting this enormously, I think that about a generation of carefully altered normality will change what people perceive as normality in the future and this will have a positive effect on the inequities and inequalities of the past.

A: This is a piece of homespun wisdom that does not ring true for me. Whoever takes charge of making sure the kids have packed enough stuff including their swimsuits and enough changes of underwear and also packing all the gadgets and leads and chargers and flash disks and extension cords and stuff, they will spend more time packing regardless of what genitals they have.

Q: Why do some people so keen to demonstrate to people out in the street just how bad their in-car audio systems sound at high volume?
