The boyzzzz.
I am not a fan of pink quotas, they can be distorted so bad with reverse discrimination.
I am not a fan of overlooking 50% of the population to help shape government priorities and policies.
Caveat: it is possible that Lai is setting up a suicide cabinetâin place to execute unpopular policies early, then shuffled out as the municipal elections arrive in a couple of years.
We shall see . . .

Thatâs still better than actual discrimination, which is what happens when you donât have quotas (as already seen in the photo of the all-male ensemble above).

Nah mate, if there is no good female candidate, why they have to be in? Same reverse, if no good male candidate, why must be in?
Quotas r not good

And DEI has killed many firms that employed it as a corporate strategy, along with universities.

Yes exactly. See what happened to Silicon Valley Bank. They focused on âdiverse hiresâ rather than hiring for experience and expertise.
What happened? Well they mismanaged their risk and had a run on the bank.

I was approached by an American firm for services recently. They tried to impose their version of DEI on my business. I replied we meet all the requirements, live in indigenous area, staff are indigenous, founder a Caucasian living as a minority in an Asian Country.
Their reply was white people cannot be considered as a minority.
My reply was they could find another supplier for services.

when you try to impose a âstandardâ of diversity, actual diversity in other contexts canât be really understood. DEI in âcivilisedâ countries like UK, US, Oz scares me, itâs like a new inquisition tbh.
It has started in Italy too, and at a time my vote at a European election was voided since I didnât vote for any woman. Wtf dude? I know this since a candidate I voted got 0 votes in my district. Thatâs appalling, voiding my free and lawful vote due to âno inclusivityâ, get lost. So goes democracy then. But hey we have inclusivity⌠sorta.

Lol, what?
the electoral law for EU elections for the Italian partition of the EU parliament clearly stated that you could not vote for, out of the 3 preferences to be expressed, 2 males in a row, so had to be male-female-male, or even worse only for males. Apparently though voting all females was ok.
The law was I think stricken down later on, but itâs just mental. Now with all the regulations for corporates to have a minimum amount of female board members you get really at a situation where you have no actual suitable candidate but have to get a female to get the job or get a fine. ridiculous, I donât care your sex, religion, skin colour or whatnot, just if you can do the job or not, thatâs it.
PC is getting out of control and the so called superior morality of certain areas of politics really getting stuffy.

50% of the population is male, and the other 50% is female. What is the mathematical possibility that there is not a single good female candidate out of all the females in all of Taiwan? That kind of thinking is sexist, my friend.

So you are saying that the other 50% (female) all had the exact same education, experience and grades?
That there is extremely sexist

Youâre saying they didnât? Why wouldnât they? Are females inferior?
In any case, you donât need every female who is qualified (the other 50%). You only need one who is qualified for the position you are filling. (EDITED)

No. Anyone is welcome to apply. Did you look at all the resumes? The idea is to hire the âbestâ candidate. Not hire a woman for the sake of hiring a woman. I would be happy with whoever is the most qualifiedâŚ

Did you? Isnât it kind of sexist to assume that they reviewed everyoneâs resumes and found zero suitable female candidates? What are the odds of that happening?
And I edited my statement above to better reflect my meaning:

no, it isnât. pools r different, and population proportions r different in each country. Generally speaking more males stand for office all things being equal, so if you have say 7 male candidate and 3 female candidates why the 3 females must be elected while some worthy candidate from the male camp, even if voted more (by females too) must be set aside?
Dude, you donât get inclusivity by forcing it, but with education.

No. But it is kind of ridiculous to assume that they didnât?
It happens quite frequently and as Matteo said obviously there were far less women candidates to begin with.
Kind of strange that most skincare specialists for example are women. What were the odds of that happening? Or the fact that ALL my teachers from kindergarten through high school were women⌠again. What were the odds of that happening?

LOL OK I will quote that too as it makes you sound even more silly.
There is a stereotype that females make good teachers, and your school was obviously sexist for conforming to that stereotype. Giving an example of sexist behavior by your school doesnât really help support your position.
