This assumes quotas are better than what we already have in place, which is equality of opportunity, not of outcome. That assumption is exactly what is being debated here.
- mcv 4y agoWhere do you live that equality of opportunity is already in place? I can't think of anywhere where this is really true. Maybe Scandinavia? Probably not even there.
- AdrianB1 4y agoFor example, Romania. Equal opportunity is a reality here.
- illiac786 4y agoI think I peed myself a little because I laughed so hard. You clearly are a male, is my bet. I happen to have a Romanian female roommate (we do not live in Romania) and this is not at all the picture she is painting. I’m not saying Romania is particularly bad. But equality of opportunity is still very far away.

- AdrianB1 4y agoI did IT recruiting for half a decade and hired dozens on women during that time; that is a lot more data points than one roommate.
- hotpotamus 4y agoDid you also hire dozens of men in half a decade?
- AdrianB1 4y agoYes. There were a bit more women than men hired during that period of time for my department and about 4 females for each male for another department I helped recruiting.
