nobody puts baby in the corner

In theory I can see Norway's logic. They have to keep the people happy. If it was discovered that all directors of private companies were male there would be uproar. The feminist pressure groups would be going mad. But sacking existing directors who are most likely doing great jobs, and replacing them with female workers just for the sake of having an equal gender balance? Too far I think.
I think this is a step backwards. Instead of promoting the equal treatment of genders, the Norwegian government seems to be doing the opposite; drawing a line between workers. -You are a female and so you deserve this job more than any other male of equal, or even better ability-.
Nay, I don't think this is a good idea. |

No. A company should employ the applicant best qualified to do the job regardless of gender. |

No, that doesn't sound right. Gender should not be the basis for qualifying for a job. That's a strange law... |

No. It is the job of the company recruiting department to decide whom to employ. It is non of the law's dam business. |

i think its sucha difficult question. because, as a woman i know i dont stand a chance getting a job like that, but the best one should get it. how ever if u gonna get a good view of all perspectives, u need men and women, but also ppl from different cultures and classes...its such a hard question, but u cant regulate it through law, because those women coming in b/c of that law are gonna have a hard time pproving themselves even if they are way better then those men being sacked |

In a perfect world, the answer would be a resounding No. However, due to the gender bias where women who are completely capable and sometimes much better at being directors are passed over because there is a male who qualifies, the law is made necessary. The worst part about the entire thing is the fact that there is a need for the law. |

Not really making appointments to meet statistics is controlling a free market system which is increasing the proportion of female directors by natural competition and ability. Good directors need to be talented whichever sex they are. |
