'We are putting an end to women-free boardrooms at large companies,' said Franziska Giffey, the minister for women and families, who described the decision as a 'historic breakthrough.'

London Germany's coalition government has agreed to a mandatory quota for women on the boards of listed companies in what's being hailed as a landmark moment for Europe's biggest economy.

Listed companies with management boards of more than three executives must appoint at least one woman to the C-suite, according to a statement Friday by Germany's ministry for family affairs, senior citizens, women and youth. A final decision on the new measure is expected next week."We are putting an end to women-free boardrooms at large companies," said Franziska Giffey, the minister for women and families, who described the decision as a"historic breakthrough.

I’m all for women and diversity in the workplace, but legislating who you must hire is a dangerous precedent. If they can legislate who you must hire, then they can legislate who you can’t hire. It’s a very slippery slope.

I’m for equality, but this sounds sexist.

Presidente Biden, Recibí su informe; gracias. Estoy convencido que todos los que trabajamos para llevarlo a ud a la Casa Blanca para que sea el presidente de toda la nación, hemos salvado a Los Estados Unidos. ¡Muchos éxitos! Y que Dios sea siempre con ud para guiarlo.

Stupid idea.

Oh great, more affirmative action, bc making people hire people bc of their race/sex etc, as compared to if they're actually QUALIFIED, is a huge breakthrough...

Oh also Malcolmknew

Nows a good time for a man to become a woman... it’s 2020, so that’s allowed now.
