A little atmospheric fragment from Norway, home to the Nobel Prize for Peace:
Norway's center-left government has issued a warning to 140 companies that still don't have enough women on their boards of directors: Appoint more, or be dissolved. […]I used to think that the phrase "cherchez la femme" ("look for the woman") implied a man in desperate search for a female companion. Apparently, the idiom actually is a different way of saying: "Go, look for a scapegoat" or "A woman is always good for taking the blame."
Equality minister Karita Bekkemellem told newspaper Aftenposten on Friday that those companies failing to meet the quota will face involuntary dissolution from January 1. Many are within traditionally male-oriented branches like the offshore oil industry, shipping and finance. […] “My advice to them is that they take responsibility and find the women they need,” she said. She called the law “historic and radical,” and said it will be enforced.
Well, women have learned to use our despicable political system just as "efficiently" and barbarously as men. They are not emancipated - I suppose, only a human being can be emancipated, irrespective of his or her gender - they have simply sunk to the same low level as their male counterparts. Enforcing decline of this nature must be a prominent part of the job description of a minister of equality.
