Amanda Gouws responded in today's Cape Times to my blog post of August 29, which later appeared in the Cape Times under the regrettably misleading heading "Gender parity is not the ideal". Prof. Gouws is right on many fronts: I have not read the literature on formal versus substantive gender equality, and know little about the different definitions of gender justice. I also had not read the open letter published by the Women's Forum and, in truth, did not even know that a Stellenbosch University Women's Forum existed or that it was them who had published the poster in the lift.
