Not only do they undermine the « equal treatment on all grounds criteria », they also get in the way of hiring the best person for a specific role, irrespective of what their gender is. It's a shame that the European Commission is still pushing for it. This is not the right way to increase uptake of women in European boardrooms.</p> Should there be Quotas for Women in Boardrooms across Europe ? 2012-11-05T20:37:12Z https://www.thenewfederalist.eu/Should-there-be-Quotas-for-Women-in-Boardrooms-across-Europe,05291#comment15113 2012-11-05T20:37:12Z <p>How a Federalist of any kind can hold these views without FIRST noting that you can only have such a view by giving unlimited powers to the state over private affairs is simply blinding.</p> Should there be Quotas for Women in Boardrooms across Europe ? 2012-11-03T01:28:31Z https://www.thenewfederalist.eu/Should-there-be-Quotas-for-Women-in-Boardrooms-across-Europe,05291#comment15101 2012-11-03T01:28:31Z <p>I don't agree with these quotas. How is it equality between women and men when women get positions because of some quota instead of their actual worth ? What exactly is it that we even still need these discussions for anyway ? Is there any way in which women today are still discriminated against ? Women get more state benefits than men, more leniency in front of the law, more dedicated organizations to help them with various problems and push them through higher education (do any of these even exist at all for men ? ). How is it even possible for such topics to still exist today in a (western) society where being a woman is better in every way than being a man ?</p>
