Good. Now also the different races. Also the different religions. Etc. Just kidding... Why not turn it around, let them prove the best were not hired based on these variables. For example, if a comoany has all white males in the board, start and investigation if they could also have hired a non white-male. Just putting 'a' woman in is not going to solve the deeper problem. In fact that would just be cosmetically covering up the deeper problem. also if I were a woman, I'd liked to be hired for my skills, not my vagina...

  So this person is ok with 50% of the parliment being filled with a group that represents maybe 0.00001% of the society? Great.

    Wait, I'm confused: do you think there are only ~700 trans people identifying as female in the world, or do you think there are only 7 of them in the UK?

      Neither - I used a small percentage without actually thinking about the value, because I don't think that the number of zeros past the decimal point changes the point I'm trying to make.

        It does.

        In what way exactly? can you explain please? How is my point changed whether I use 0.001% or 0.000001% or 0.00000001%? The overall idea of a "very small number" is conveyed regardless of the number of zeroes used - if that's not true, please enlighten me.

        Lol, no it doesn't. It wasn't a statistical value and nothing they said even alluded to it being an accurate value.

  And everybody clapped, and all the chairs clapped, and the projector flickered in a clap-like way. This is so sad. I am a woman-- a real woman-- and I constantly wonder if I am where I am because of shit like this. And now I can't even have womanhood because it's being claimed by men who claim to be women. What the FUCK is going on???
