EU to make all boardrooms 40% female by 2020

I assume she is going to do the same for males in teaching, nursing and psychology.

I am of course joking.

DoktorTeufel · 2012-03-05T16:25:30+00:00

EU to make all wartime casualties 40% female by 2020?

EU courts will pass down equal sentences to females for identical crimes by 2020?

EU to make all homeless people 40% female by 2020?

EU to favor men in 40% of alimony/child custody cases by 2020?

EU to offer just protection and equal representation to men accused of rape by 2020?

...

Nope. "Equality" only for stuff that benefits women. Same story, different day, eh?

Jesus fucking Christ. And we wonder why companies are failing the consumer. Forced equality of outcome is not equally and does nothing but degrade overall quality.

DarthOvious · 2012-03-05T13:01:38+00:00

So what happens when these companies don't meet the quotas because they can't find enough women to put on their boards?

Or are we assuming that these companies will include secretery workers on their boards just to meet these quotas?

Well there goes what's left of the European economy.

borderlinebadger · 2012-03-05T09:19:30+00:00

You thought the European economy was bad now.

You guys are so mean! My heart is bleeding for these poor white upper-middle class women who have suffered for so long! They only have salaries 3-4x higher than the lower class at present, how are they supposed to cope without director salaries? /s

Shocking. What is interesting, Warren Farrel has debunked the wage gap myth in about 2007.

How women can earn more then men: 25 life choices to get higher pay

It is shocking how feminism somehow systematically misleads humanity. Can't politicians read Warren Farrell? Or would anyone be able to disprove what he writes?

As has been said here, women don't want to study and work like men in order to make as much as men. They want equality the easy way. Like in Tennis: equal prizes for less work, less hours and much less performance, ultimately leading to HIGHER prize money because women have time and energy to play in doubles

How is it possible that such outright fraud gets perpetrated by the highest political authorities? And they probably even believe it?

Can't Barrack Obama, Hillary Clinton and the European authorities READ Warren Farrell? Are they so brainwashed they believe what they do?

It is interesting to compare how academia commits fraud about domestic violence.

This is not off topic, because it shows how such fraud is being committed in academia. I suppose that in the wage gap myth similar methods of fraud must be used.

I don't like conspiracy theories. But I cannot but say that feminism is large scale scientific and political fraud. r/mensrights shows more examples about such feminist falsehoods that spread over the internet, the press, political action and law.

Everyone should be angry about any kind of forced quotas.

Belgian_Rofl · 2012-03-05T21:00:29+00:00

I rather enjoy how they label this as "progress".

I just don't understand why the government has to step in and tell a business who to hire for what position; if it benefits them they're going to be inclined to do it. Unless the government holds a large stake in my company, a disturbing trend actually, who are they to say who I can hire?

I believe qualified women should have seats, but placing women on the board just because you need women is wrong. Get qualified people, be they male or female.

Lohengren · 2012-03-05T15:51:32+00:00

I wish for equality as well, but to think that someone actually believes in this sort of approach is baffling.

ivebeenhereallsummer · 2012-03-05T17:36:39+00:00

Where do transgender people get categorized in this quota system?

Dax420 · 2012-03-05T18:05:24+00:00

So much for hiring the right person for the job.

Supertrinko · 2012-03-05T18:29:04+00:00

There shouldn't be some quota, if boardrooms have 100% females, I don't have a problem. So long as they are the best people for the job.

That should be the rule. "Best person for the job".

UnoriginalMike · 2012-03-05T19:19:11+00:00

So, forcing more qualified people out in the name of "equality," seems legit. What could go wrong?

2012-03-05T21:28:49+00:00

Quotas are bad because they breed resentment in the workplace and reinforce the stereotypes they are mean to fight.

SlimThugga · 2012-03-05T10:51:29+00:00

Welp, guess I can't stay here either.

TracyMorganFreeman · 2012-03-05T14:08:26+00:00

A study somewhere not that long ago showed that women in politics are just as likely to win elections as their male counterparts, just they don't run as often. Assuming this translates into the business setting, the problem isn't that women are being kept out of management through sexism, it's that there is a lack of viable female candidates.
If they want to fix this they need to start at the bottom to produce better candidates rather than starting at the top, trying to force it and reducing management quality and motivation. (Women feel they were promoted just because of their sex, men feel like they get passed over for promotion because of their sex.)

Sorry, but me losing out on a job because I am not a female is the very definition of sexism.

IHaveALargePenis · 2012-03-06T06:24:14+00:00

I hope after all is said and done the men can at least request they be hot, that will make meeting more bearable at least. But seriously, do these women expect an entire generation of men to respect them or take them seriously when this shit is going on? Because I sure as hell wouldn't even take the women who do belong there seriously, how do I know they're not there to fill some quota?

Bobsutan · 2012-03-06T11:45:37+00:00

Well, time to take my money out of EU markets.

Equality of outcome is not equality.

Roulette88888 · 2012-03-06T12:53:41+00:00

Possibly good for a skewed view of equality, but you don't need to be an expert economist to know this is bad for business. If it were good or even neutral, there'd be a fair share of businesses with an already 40% female boardroom.
