Norway: 40% of Corporate Board Seats Must Be Female

[Blue Velvet]

Some claim that there's a boy's club culture dominating such boards, and I'm inclined to believe there's something to that claim.

Exactly. We've had positive discrimination the other way for centuries; deals made on the golf course and in strip clubs etc... excellent to hear the pips squeaking when the boot's on the other foot for a change.

The real structural issues have attempted to be dealt with by all sorts of equal pay legislation and so forth over the years, but progress has been far too slow and easily quashed by entrenched interests.

Please also note that women are not a minority in society...

 

[Abstract]

It also means that minority groups will soon realize that even if they do less work, they can get better jobs due to affirmative action. After all, a quota needs to be filled.
