Females have never had the same opportunities as men have in the work force. As a female, it is easy to sympathize with women who face prejudices and discrimination in the workplace based on gender. However I do not agree with the policies that have been adopted in Europe. Although equality for women is a prominent issue in the work force, there is not an immediate solution. Allowing women more privileges is going to create discrimination against men. The balance will remain off. More research is needed in order to come up with a more sensible solution that makes sense.
While the idea of having a certain percentage of female employees is an honorable idea, it is simply unfeasible. The fact of having a set percentage of a company is women is just like saying 40% of our employees must be white or 75% of our employees have to be Christian. It is unrelated to the job. A man may be just as qualified as a woman for a position in the company, but if 60% of the positions are already full, she will get the job before him. That does not make any sense. The company should strive to hire the most qualified candidate for the position, and not be gender bias.
