Zille sees error in her ways.

No where did I say that. In fact I said the exact opposite. You're the ones judging by gender and not capabilities. Identity politics FTL

So take away gender quota and you think women will naturally just get jobs ?
 
Candidate A: man with all the right experience and strengths
Candidate B: female with all the right experience and strengths.

Who would be chosen?

politics is still male dominated. Candidate A you are hired. Here's your cigar and scotch on the rocks. Welcome to the team ol' boy!

Yes they will..... DA supporters voted for a woman, it was not based on quota but because we know she was the best person for the job.

True! But i don't think she had it easy at all taking over from Tony Leon.

As you said yourself people aren't equal. I'd take the candidate with the better strengths and experience. If you want to run a company to it's full potential you employ people who'll bring in maximum returns not the people who do okay but have the right gender or race so it looks good and "representative" from the outside. It does bugger all for( in fact hampers)the actual business.

I hear what you saying! I just feel women are overlooked regardless of how good or even better they might be simply because they are female and females are considered weak and emotional. There is no room for that in politics. So while i can see the flaws in quotas. There is also one pro: It does help those who wouldn't usually have had a look-in get the opportunity to represent themselves for a position that can only be filled by a female.

So your answer then is to resort to the exact same injustice.

The one with the biggest ti.. Wait, that's a different joke.

Sorry, but you cannot assume that decisions are made on the old boys' club in every case.

The point has been raised by Zille that some of those that have whined the loudest about her selection are the biggest culprits when it comes to perpetuating male dominance. Her, and the DA's view, is that South Africa needs to concentrate on performance and delivery rather than quotas. We've had the quote argument, we still have the quota argument, and we will still have the quota argument. But may, just maybe, South Africa really needs to deliver houses, health care, education and security as a priority rather than worry about skin colour and the presence of dangly bits.

Cosatu Western Cape secretary Tony Ehrenreich said after a meeting with Zille on Monday that she had conceded there was a problem with the lack of representivity of women in her executive.

Ok, let's wait for a DA denial.

Oh, wait, they didn't deny the Plato story did they.:eek:

In that case, by their own pattern, a lack of a denial will be seen as an admission.
