Norway to Dissolve Companies over Quotas

Authoritarian political correctness plunges toward absolute insanity in Norway:

Norway's center-left government has issued a warning to 140 companies that still don't have enough women on their boards of directors: Appoint more, or be dissolved.
Companies organized as "ASA" corporations are required to meet a state-mandated quota that calls for 40 percent of their directors to be women.
The quota was ushered in during the previous center-right government coalition, and has been enthusiastically embraced by the current Labour Party-led government.
Equality minister Karita Bekkemellem told newspaper Aftenposten on Friday that those companies failing to meet the quota will face involuntary dissolution from January 1. Many are within traditionally male-oriented branches like the offshore oil industry, shipping and finance.

Note that this deranged form of totalitarianism was initiated by a relatively conservative government, confirming that it makes little difference which mainstream party Europeans vote for.

Look for future Norwegian decrees to dictate what percentage of directors must be Muslim.

Precisely the direction Feminism in America is moving. You'd be very foolish to think I'm joking. Feminism is the biggest threat to America. Take a look at this link.

Men, will not fight for a Matriarchy and that's what the USA has become thanks to Feminism. The feminization/pussification of everything continues to weaken this country.

Feminism = Socialism

Hillary is already checking the law to see if its possible to appoint a Norwegian as Commerce Secretary.

There are plenty of women who are perfectly capable of running a major corporation; however it goes without saying that they should get there by demonstrating their ability, not merely because they possess a vagina. This kind of leftist imposition of fantasy on reality is one reason why matriarchal societies don't tend to last very long. The other reason is that nature abhors a vacuum. If Norwegian men can't stand up to such nonsense, they will be replaced, and I'm guessing the equality minister will be out of a job.

Way too many people in this world with way too little real work to do, hence the invention of these "fakakta" jobs (as Mel Brooks would say), like "Equality Minister," so a bunch of ne'er-do-wells, and females who want to work but have zero skills, have something to do besides stick their thumbs up their asses.

*"Fakakta" is Yiddish for "ridiculous."

This is the country that spawns the Nobel Peace Prize committee, who as we all know, just crowned Al Gore with what was once a presigious award. Is it any surprise, then, that the rest of Norway is as infested with this kind of moonbattery?

It's just ripe for the picking by Islamofascists. Then how many women will be on company boards?

Oops, should read "prestigious."

Amazing how gullible women around the world are to Feminism. They do not see the long term consequences that will arise.

I'd like to say a good prolonged guttural fakakta to her face when I have a full sinus.

I PERSONALY know of one company in Florida that was shut down by federal action because it didn't fill the quotas (Read: "TOKENISM") set by the Carter administration in the late seventies. So look out!

"Feminism = Socialism"

Anon;
Back in the sixties, the "Womens' Liberation Movement" wasn't the ONLY group infiltrated by communists. TRUE feminism is interested in OPORTUNITY as is just and AMERICAN. But I have no respect for the dopes who have called themselves "feminists" in the past fourty years.

Nice try KHarn. "TRUE feminism" my ass. History will remember feminism precisely for what it is: a Trojan horse used to destabilize & destroy society & the traditional family. Feminism will not be given another chance. Never Again. Is true feminism natural? The answer is no. If Men & Women are equal, why do feminists have to legislate equality into everything? Feminism is not natural; it goes against nature and it will destroy itself. Men & Women are equally important but they are radically different. Feminism is a gender hate movement. Feminism = Misandry. Feminism = Lesbianism. The degree that American Women are brainwashed with this feminist BS is sickening.

You read too much into my post and DIDIN'T read ALL of what I wrote.
I DID NOT SAY that men and women were "equal". The only equality between the sexes is in the eyes OF THE LAW. OK? Got that?
TRUE feminism was started because women had to PAY TAXES, but in many states, could not VOTE on issues. Also, TRUE feminism helped to abolish the laws that alowed a husband to OWN HIS WIFE'S PROPERTY and dispose of it without her consent. THIS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE "FEMINISTS" OF TODAY.

NOW do you understand what I'm talking about? If you don't, TOUGH SHIT.
