given this evidence, do you change your position?

so when parents in rural india saw for the first time that women do not automatically fail in a position in leadership and concluded that their baby girl could maybe study past 9th grade, should this automatically be imposed upon more traditional western society, or maybe is it common knowledge for us already?


should i as a holder of stock in a business endaevour be forced into the position in which from F-moment, the equal-opportunity-board of the company becomes the automatically-40%-girls-board? should the government maybe keep their quotas out of some places and let them self-regulate?

try and extrapolate from the study and speculate on the wider effects this might have on society as a whole dickhead



here's another article for you to read, it's nice and short and gives you an idea of what happened when they introduced quotas in norway

i hope your attention span will be able to withstand it though, it's a whole 800 words!! some of them are big too!!

if you look closely, it actually appears that many of the women were better educated than their male counterparts and that there was an institutional bias towards men, which businesses refused to resolve themselves... because, surprise surprise, why would they seek to fix something which is biased in their favour??

so fucking stupid

also stop editing your posts and adding shit onto them, make another post or just curb your fucking adhd and actually finish the post before jamming your fat finger onto the submit button you worthless shitwizard

I see that under the threat of dissolution, major public companies were forced to implement a 40% quota of women on their boards, whereas without threatening them, they chose only to have an average of 18% of women on their boards.

I wonder how would a person feel when he or she is granted any position whatsover based on some quota instead of actual merit. "I got the position because i'm <attribute>, not because I was the best motherfucker out there". What would it feel like to be looked onto under such circumstances.. not "of course she's there, after all she x y z", but "she's there because she's a woman lol".

she would probably feel as though she had been awarded a position in the face of massive institutional bias against her and would be more inclined to work harder and better than her more complacent counterparts by setting an example

way to go on ignoring the fucking point i was making about wider effects on society though retard

i see you are on teampseak do you want to discuss this maybe so i understand this point of yours

no friend, i would not because i am going to eat some pizza and then go out to ~DaCluBs~

please feel free to take your time in responding to my points and perhaps endeavour to come up with an adequate explanation as to why you think that having people who make up large portions of our society should not have an equal say in how it is ran though

you sorry shitstain of an eternal apologist for the status quo

i think they do have an equal say, free elections yaaaay
right?

Quotas for a specific transitional phase seem OK, e.g "ok we understand something was bad, we are going to change it by breaking old habits, creating new role models etc", maybe the transition the India study shows is an example of that. But in a non-transitioning society, I tend to believe in meritocracy in the case of adults, because so much is said about equality etc these days (and i'm all for it, e.g equal pay for equal work is a no-brainer to me). It boggles my mind though why various governments would then want to meddle with systems that are not specifically theirs and do not seem broken (some would say the 'lack of diversity' is what's broken) instead of simply creating means of equal opportunity, seeing that women are not discriminated against when they bear children etc.


In uni, about 80% were women in most of my classes. They were really cool, none of these smart girls should have been left behind the door due to some gender-based quota. In fact they were so much better at discussion than men (and liked fun after class if the discussions had became heated enough). In secondary school, I had a male to female ratio of 10 to 26. To think of it, I have grown up in the middle of educational instances full of abundant women and not for one second have I thought about "gee there should be a quota for more cock".

Regarding education, one place that should have (and probably does have) some non-spoken quotas at least is the younger years of like up to 12 - you know, when "girls are much more mature than boys" and then some balance must be maintained.


(also if people are interested, we can have a monetary theory etc thread, i did put actual effort into the 3-classes-story on pg 3 and am pretty confident in representing that paradigm if there are questions, but this has now turned into idkwhatthefuck :litheye:).

you dont hold any stock anyways shitbird lololo
