For example, though the law on gender equality in the workplace bans discrimination based on gender, most employers put first priority on costs. In an environment of intense competition, employed women must take reality into account and sometimes must sacrifice rights to which they are entitled.
像兩性工作平等法，雖然禁止性別歧視，並規定雇主對求職者或受雇者的進用、升遷，都不得因性別而有差別待遇，但業者在考量經營成本時，也就顧不得兩性是否平等；受雇女性在競爭激烈的環境中，基於現實的考量，許多權益也不得不放棄。
