Apologies for my ignorance but what does “45/45/10” mean?
- CamTin 8y agoFrom context I'd guess he means 45% male, 45% female, 10% non-binary.
- albertgoeswoof 8y agoIs that a real policy for anywhere? How / where do you find 10% non binary from? I don’t think there’s enough people to go around even if you hired every single non binary person in a given city.
- prepend 8y agoI did mean 10% as non/binary, but my numbers were just notional. I should have been more clear. I think, especially with improved technology, that 10% will be more common. Cynically thinking, it will be easier if there were some specific quota. Gender is probably the easiest protected class to change after religion, so it’s especially sensitive to outcome quotas.
- aaaaaaaaaab 8y agoOh, I see! I wasn’t familiar with this term. So, this system is used in the United States, right?
- meowface 8y agoThe poster was suggesting a hypothetical situation where that is a policy. Very few places in the US have 50/50 gender quotas, and I doubt any have quotas which include non-binary people. I believe they were mocking the idea.
- prepend 8y agoI was not mocking the idea, but giving an example where a reasonable quota led to bad outcomes. While I’m against outcome quotas, I’m firmly against discrimination (including mocking) of people based on who they are.
- dannyw 8y agoMale, female, non-binary.
