What the petition asks
During a gender pay-gap debate, Polish MEP Janusz Korwin-Mikke said that women should earn less than men because they are smaller, weaker and less intelligent.
As someone who strongly believes in gender equality, I found this comments very offensive and I would like my MEP to represent that.

Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
It would be for each individual UK MEP to decide whether to do this.
