A piece written by a female lawyer for Quillette. I posted the sorts of comments I generally do in response to such pieces, and was pleased to get this reply from Sue Smith, an Australian lady:
“Meanwhile, lobby for those quotas in the aforementioned hard graft jobs; working out in the Western Australian mining industry in 45 degree plus heat, just for starters. Did you hear about the female Captain of a NZ navy ship who ran the ship aground about 3 months ago off Samoa? She was a diversity hire. Gosh, you’ve got to have lots of money to be able to afford sacrificing a navy ship for the sake of activism.
It’s not about higher profits and corporate boards, it’s about “shove over, I want the kind of job you’ve got”. No more and no less. Though there are some savvy women in high profile jobs, and I’m glad of this, there are not enough of them to declare quotas are good for anybody except the women themselves. As Jordan Peterson says, women are more agreeable than men and maybe agreeableness isn’t an exceptional quality to have in the ruthless world of business.
My son is divorced and 45yo and he is encountering women with the attitudes which are promoted in diversity hires and quotas. Sitting behind them on the bus en route to work he also hears these kinds of conversations. He despairs of ever finding a non-woke female anywhere, but did say the Kenyan women he has befriended are not at all like this.
And are you aware that (in Australia, at least) there are literally armies of 30 something women who cannot partner and have no children? That demographic is now stretching into the 40s as these childless women age. The men don’t want the trouble. My son has said, “at my age it’s far easier for me to find available women than it is to start building my asset base from ground zero again”.
At my grandson’s primary school in Perth teachers (all-female staff) have forbidden any references to Xmas and to Xmas wrapping on Secret Santa. No references to Christ or Christmas allowed. Yet it’s OK for “Chinese New Year”, muslims to celebrate Ramadan and Indians Dawali. Australia is on a suicide mission and for this I blame the increasingly feminized workforce and the Left side of politics. (My son is putting both his boys into a Christian school for the start of 2025. Let’s just see a Christian school banning Christmas!)
As the eldest of 4 females in our family I am appalled by the modern behaviour of women; the staggering sense of entitlement, the arrogance and you know what else drives me crackers? Women with baby voices talking at NASA about space and rockets.
If you’ve got a PhD in Physics, girls, my heartiest congratulations – but try to develop a less gushy mien and presentation which reflects the seriousness of that instead of ‘Barbie works at NASA’!! I’m looking at you, Americans.”
