Unbefuckinglievable, we were right. In our post "homo teutonicus simplex II" we joked that women can wait another 20 or 40 years, what's the rush.
And then this: only a few days later, there is an interview with the main anti-quota lobbyist (a middle aged white guy), where he says (our translation, slightly condensed) "the German workforce will shrink over the coming decades, so this gives more women an opportunity to re-enter the workforce after a child break with good career prospects, and it will improve their overall situation without unproductive government intervention through a quota".
We feel bad that we nailed it, really.
Because it just shows that the best German anti-quota minds cannot even compete with a simple minded hobby blogger. And still get their way.
Let's all learn Chinese, and fast.
On a positive note, homo teutonicus simplex has launched a counter offensive!
Deutsche Bank - yeah, those guys accused of lying to a judge - have fewer women at the top than in previous years!
The planned public release of a report on women in the workplace was to be a joint affair between the big publicly traded companies and the government ministry for the family and social affairs.
The minister, pro quota, has now been pushed aside by the simplexs' most powerful argument -- the cod piece. Be nice to your kids, don't show them the search result of this link.
We have no clue what's in the report. But we are confident that it will show once and for all how much progress women have made over the reporting period (whatever that may be).
It will highlight that German women are finally getting the rewards for long education and hard work. It will say that the government needs to provide more kindergarten places and be more family friendly in general without burdensome regulations on companies. It will say that progress in some areas or sectors is slightly slower than in others, but don't you worry.
Babe, don't you worry.
Homo teutonicus simplex has your back, and not only your back.
