A curious side note: Norway, often considered one of the most gender-equal countries in the world, has a law from 1978 called "the law of gender equality". The first section of the law states that the law is particularly intended to strengthen the position of women. The systematic interpretation of this law is that it is legal to moderately discriminate in the favor of women when they apply for a position (school, work) that has a male majority, while it is illegal to discriminate in the favor of men when they apply for a position that has a female majority. Examples of male-majority situations where this is applied is CEO or board positions in publicly-owned companies or engineering school, while examples of female-majority situations where this cannot be applied is veterinarian or medical school.
