Reply to comment by Dirk_94 in Women will have equal share of seats in [New Zealand] Parliament with Soraya Peke-Mason's swearing-in by giblefog

Except in scenarios where men have dominated seats unfairly for years just becaus they are men. You have to bring balance to the System you speak of.

Thats true, but not a Balance of outcome

If every woman has a fair Chance to be elected i Support it.

If the outcome (50 % have to be women) i dont Support it. It doesnt solve anything realy, exept undermine the Basis of...well somebody getting elected.

Why must everything be 50%? In a large survey, most women preferred a male boss, so perhaps women are driving the imbalance out of their personal preferences.

Is that what personal preference is called nowadays? When men go see a urologist and prefer a male urologist during revealing examinations, that preference is sexist but they're entitled to a preference and there's nothing wrong with that. Many women (my wife included) prefer male friends to female friends because they often express how exasperated they are with the drama and gossiping that often accompanies having female friends. There's nothing wrong with having preferences.

When you consistently experience drama with a specific group of people, it's time to consider whether you're the common denominator.
