US Defense Secretary Hegseth fires Navy's top officer, Air Force No. 2

Good news! President Trump and the Secretary of Defense are cleaning up the first woman/DEI mess in the US military!

"Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth today announced he was removing Adm. Lisa Franchetti as the chief of naval operations, unceremoniously ending early the tenure of the first woman to become a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

In addition, Hegseth said he would be replacing Gen. James Slife, the Air Force’s No. 2 officer, as well as replacing the top Judge Advocate General for the Army, Air Force and Navy. ..."

What took so long? 

One incompetent first female fires another incompetent first female! DEI must die!

L.A. Mayor Karen Bass Fires L.A. Fire Chief Kristin Crowley; Caruso Slams Mayor for Passing Buck "LOS ANGELES, California — L.A. Mayor Karen Bass fired L.A. Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley on Friday, claiming that she failed to pre-deploy firefighters ahead of the Palisades Fire and refused to allow an investigation."

Navy expects to have first female submarine commander by 2028. Really!

What is this? A gender quota? Will these submarines be staffed by women only?

"Fourteen years after the Navy began integrating women into submarine crews, the population of enlisted women and officers in subs continues to grow steadily year-over-year — and the service projects it will name the first female submarine commanding officer by 2028. ...

For fiscal 2024, there were 87 female officer accessions and 400 enlisted accessions, she told the Defense Advisory Committee on Women in the Services at its quarterly meeting near Washington. That represents 20.3% of officer accessions and 9.5% of enlisted. Fiscal 2024 also represented the largest jump in female enlisted accessions since integration began, rising from 271 the previous year for an increase of nearly 48%.

In all, though, 712 women are currently assigned to submarines, making up just under 5% of a total sub force of more than 15,000. ..."

Navy expects to have first female submarine commander by 2028

Lt. Cmdr. Amber Cowan made history in 2022 when she became the first woman to serve as an XO on a U.S. Navy submarine. Service officials now say they expect to see a woman command a submarine by 2028.

For the First Time, Women Make Up 50% of Caltech's Incoming Undergraduate Class. Really!

Bad news! Sounds more like damned gender quotas to me!

Men watch out in the battle of the sexes! Women want the best jobs for themselves and let men continue to do the dirty work!

When ideology trumps meritocracy!

"This accomplishment is the result of sustained efforts to improve gender equity on campus and in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). For the past several decades, the Institute has piloted strategic initiatives [also called hidden gender quota] to recruit and retain women to ensure equal access to education and to increase diversity among the undergraduate class. ..."

For the First Time, Women Make Up 50% of Caltech's Incoming Undergraduate Class - www.caltech.edu "In a historic milestone [???] for Caltech, the incoming undergraduate class will comprise 50% women. The class of 2028 is the first to reach gender parity since the Institute began admitting female undergraduates in 1970, and includes 113 women and 109 men, according to admissions data."

Kanzler Scholz kritisiert geringen Frauenanteil in Dax-Vorständen fordert Frauenquote

Es gibt nur sehr wenig gutes zu sagen über Kanzler Scholz! Diesmal hat er sich versucht bei Unternehmerinnen anzubiedern! Als anwesende Unternehmerin hätte ich ihn ausgepfiffen oder ausgebuht für diesen Versuch!

Staatliche Frauenquoten sind grundsätzlich abzulehnen und verfassungswidrig! Freie Marktwirtschaft quo vadis!

Frauenquoten für Unternehmensvorstände???? Ist der Mann noch zu retten! So viel Dummheit!!!

"Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz (SPD) hat den niedrigen Frauenanteil in Führungspositionen der großen Unternehmen in Deutschland kritisiert und den Nutzen verbindlicher Quoten betont. Es gebe nur einzige Vorstandsvorsitzende eines Dax-Konzerns, sagte Scholz am Dienstag in Berlin vor dem Verband deutscher Unternehmerinnen in Berlin. ..."

Scholz kritisiert geringen Frauenanteil in Dax-Vorständen Mit Merck-Chefin Belén Garijo gibt es nur eine einzige Vorstandsvorsitzende im Kreise der 40 Dax-Konzerne. Bundeskanzler Olaf Scholz kritisiert den niedrigen Frauenanteil in den Vorständen – und plädiert für Quoten.

Bundestags-Vizepräsidentin Aydan Özoguz (SPD, Alter 56) eine Antisemitin und Bewunderin von Iran

Wer ist diese Tante? Wie wird so jemand (ein Clown) Vizepräsident des deutschen Bundestags! Sie gehört wohl eher auf die Hinterbank des viel zu überbesetzten deutschen Bundestages (mit 734 Abgeordneten)!

Die Frau, in Deutschland geboren (1967) und aufgewachsen, hat aber erst mit 22 (1989) die deutsche Staatsbürgerschaft erworben. Sie ist seit 2001 lebenslange Berufspolitikerin.

Ist das etwa eine Quotenfrau? Die erste türkisch stämmige Frau in einer Spitzenposition in der SPD? Scheint so!

"... „Zu viel Kriege, zu viele Menschenleben gefährdet, Geiseln nicht befreit, Menschen in Hungerkatastrophe. Mache mir um alle Menschen Sorge in #Ukraine #Israel #Gaza. Warum musste diese Situation noch provoziert werden? Bombardierung der iran. Botschaft hat Nahost weiter gefährdet.“ ..."

Gegen Israel, gegen die deutsche Mehrheitsgesellschaft: die Agenda der Aydan Özoğuz Wieder einmal äußerte sich die Bundestags-Vizepräsidentin extrem einseitig. Ihr Tweet zum iranischen Angriff auf Israel fügt sich in eine lange Kette von Wortmeldungen der SPD-Politikerin.

Why Are There So Few Women in Indian Politics? with Palki Sharma

Recommendable! It appears India has relied heavily on gender quotas at lower levels of government.  This is the wrong path! Plus, it is blatant gender discrimination!

For Palki to argue women are better politicians is ridiculous! To argue that women are disadvantaged succeeding in politics compared to men is disingenuous to some extent!

Men watch out in the battle of the sexes! Gentlemen could easily loose!

Achieving 50:50 Gender quota at the ASTRO 3D research center in Australia. Absurd!

Australian taxpayers pay for this woke nonsense! I would even say this is unconstitutional!

This is socialist central planning!

Science suffers when a gender quota is enforced! Mediocrity wins over meritocracy!

"“Over the course of this Centre, we seek to achieve a fraction of 50% females at all levels including the executive, the Advisory committee, and at all Centre sponsored events (including speakers), as well as equity in salaries and opportunities.”"

"ASTRO 3D is a seven-year $40 million Centre of Excellence project funded by the Australian Government through the Australian Research Council (ARC). The Centre began in June 2017 and will end in June 2024. Our Centre unifies over 250 world-leading astronomers to understand the evolution of matter, light and the elements, from the Big Bang to the present day. We are combining innovative optical and radio 3D technology with new theoretical supercomputer simulations on a massive scale, requiring new big data techniques." (Source)

India's Reservation Bill for Women (a 33% gender quota for the Indian parliament): All You Need to Know with Palki Sharma

Bad idea! And women can go beyond the quota! This is unconstitutional and unjust!

Men watch out in the battle of the sexes!

Does the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have a gender quota?

Well, when you look at many of the top positions at MIT from the president down many of them are held by women. Were these women chosen on merit and/or some kind of gender quota (explicit or implicit)?

Men watch out! In the battle of the sexes, each sex resorts to what they do best! This is about power and dominance! Women want leadership roles but not gender equality e.g. in the construction or mining industry! Let men do the sweaty and dirty work!

CIFAR & gender equity: All for innovation and technology through gender quotas for equity-deserving groups

Gender quotas are about the opposite of gender equality! Unacceptable! Appalling!

Equity is a term of demagoguery!

In the battle of the sexes, men wake up!!!

A message from Elissa Strome, Executive Director, Pan-Canadian AI Strategy at CIFAR:

"... Setting targets was an important aspect of our strategy. As of this year, CIFAR and our partners at Canada’s National AI Institutes (Amii, Mila and the Vector Institute) have committed to ensuring that a minimum of 25% of Canada CIFAR AI Chairs identify as women or non-binary, and that, over the next five years, at least 40% of new Canada CIFAR AI Chair recruits and at least 30% of their trainees identify as members of equity-deserving groups. We see these targets as minimum starting points, with room for growth in the future. ..."

P.S. CIFAR is a well recognized and leading AI research institute! None other than Yoshua Bengio (a lefty) is the Program Co-Director, Canada CIFAR AI Chair, Learning in Machines & Brains, Pan-Canadian AI Strategy

Ms. Gender/Non-binary Quota! 

Baerbock stellt Leitlinien zur feministischen Außenpolitik vor. Das Matriarchat komme!

Wer den Bock zum Gärtner macht! Geht doch alles in der Bananenrepublik D.!

Das Matriarchat verdrängt das Patriarchat! Männer passt gut auf im Kampf der Geschlechter! 😊 Gentlemen unterliegen gegen nicht so gentlewomen! 

Mit dem eklatanten Unsinn der verfassungswidrigen Frauenquoten hat die selbst gewählte Niederlage der Männer angefangen! Quotenfrauen verlangen kleine Männerquoten!

Der Olaf Scholz ist dieser Herausforderung überhaupt nicht gewachsen. Zu spießig. Zu kleinkariert, wie ein braver Dorfbeamter!

Baerbock stellt Leitlinien zur feministischen Außenpolitik vor Wie die Außenpolitik feministisch werden soll. An diesem Mittwoch werden zum ersten Mal Leitlinien zur feministischen Außenpolitik vorgestellt. Feminismus bedeutet aber keinen Pazifismus, stellt das Auswärtige Amt klar.

‘Game-changing’ gender quotas introduced by Australian medical research agency. Really!

Australia quo vadis? I just blogged here about the cherry picking with gender quotas! Meritocracy sacrificed to gender equity demagoguery!

This new Australian Prime Minister Albanese seems to be troublesome (see also my post here).

Please note that women are treated the same as non-binary persons and they have to compete with non-binary researchers! Absurd!

I trust this unlawful nonsense/demagoguery will be quickly defeated in court!

"In an attempt to achieve gender equity, Australia’s leading health and medical research funding organization plans to award half of its research grants for its largest funding programme to women and non-binary applicants, starting next year.

The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) announced the move last week. It will apply to researchers at the mid-career and senior level applying for the agency’s investigator grants, which fund research and salaries. Grants will also be fixed at Aus$400,000 (US$252,000) each a year for five years. Many countries struggle to achieve gender equity in research funding, and the NHRMC will be one of the first agencies to introduce gender quotas at this scale, say researchers. ..."

"... From 2023, the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) will award equal numbers of Investigator Grants to women and men in a new intervention to address gender inequities in research funding. ...
The new initiative will see NHMRC introduce a special measure under the Sex Discrimination Act 1984 and set targets to fund an equal number of Leadership grants for women and men in the Investigator Grant scheme. ...
For the first time, non-binary researchers will also be explicitly included in this and other measures to foster gender equity in NHMRC funding, recognising the systemic disadvantage that they experience. ..."

Cherry picking with gender quotas in the battle of the sexes

First of all, any gender quotas applied to jobs are unconstitutional or a violation of fundamental rights!

Did you ever wonder why they like to apply gender quotas to e.g. c-suites and not mining or construction industries or the military? Women want save, clean, and high paying jobs, men can do the rest! 

Men better watch out in the battle of the sexes! This is not about gender equity or other such demagoguery! This is about power and dominance!

Die CDU vor ihrem Bundesparteitag in Hannover - Quoten für Frauen und kein Arbeitskreis für Katholiken

Dieser weit überschätzte Friedrich Merz scheint eine ziemliche Pfeife zu sein! Was hat er eigentlich geleistet als die SED Kanzlerin Merkel im Amt war?

Frauenquoten sind verfassungswidrig und schädlich für eine freiheitliche Grundordnung! Schlicht und einfach!

Die CDU vor ihrem Bundesparteitag in Hannover  - Quoten für Frauen und kein Arbeitskreis für Katholiken | Cicero Online Ende nächster Woche kommt die CDU zum ersten Parteitag unter Führung von Friedrich Merz zusammen. Statt sich die Ampel-Regierung vorzuknöpfen, hat die Partei auch mit internen Querelen und Problemen in der Parteizentrale zu kämpfen. Ausgerechnet Merz will jetzt eine Frauenquote durchsetzen. Und einige Konservative ärgert es, dass die Lesben-und-Schwulen-Union genauso einen offiziellen Status bekommt wie der Evangelische Arbeitskreis, nur die Katholiken nicht. Wie wird sich also die CDU aufstellen, ein Jahr nach der verlorenen Bundestagswahl?

EU sets board quotas for women by mid-2026, lawmakers say

The EU got bigger and mightier! And a lot of utter fools are running the show!

The British EU exit makes more sense as time passes!

I hope this nonsense will be seriously challenge in court and otherwise!

Yesterday, I commented here about another, new idiocy by the EU.

"European Union negotiators agreed late on Tuesday to the bloc's first-ever quota for women on corporate boards, lawmakers said, a bid to boost representation and improve gender equality in the bloc of 450 million people.

The law obliges listed companies in all 27 EU member countries to have women take up at least 40% of non-executive board seats, or 33% of executive and non-executive roles combined by mid-2026. ..."

Victoria in Australia sets gender quotas on construction sites

Gender quotas are horrible and unconstitutional big government interventions! At least here a typical men's domain of sweaty and dirty work is affected. However and curiously higher gender quotas in management than in the other construction professions are imposed. The usual cherry picking in favor of women goes on here too!

European Union and gender quotas on company boards

Absolutely horrible! Outrageous! This is authoritarian! What is next?

Why companies do not more fiercely oppose this is incredible!

Brexit was a great move by the British citizens!

"A majority of 18 of the 27 EU countries support the directive, but that is not enough for the super majority needed for approval. 

Eight countries - Denmark, Estonia, Croatia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Sweden and Slovakia - have opposed the proposal, arguing the issue should be regulated at a national level. ...

Eight EU countries have adopted national mandatory gender quotas for listed companies (Belgium, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, Portugal, Greece, the Netherlands).

Ten have taken a softer approach, using a range of measures and initiatives (Denmark, Estonia, Ireland, Spain, Luxembourg, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Finland, Sweden).

Nine countries have not taken substantial action (Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Hungary, Malta, Slovakia). ..."

CDU einigt sich auf Frauenquote von 50 Prozent ab 2025 in Parteivorständen

So bescheuert kann nur eine von SED Kanzlerin Merkel dominierte Partei sein! Die CDU kann einpacken, sie schafft sich selbst ab. Niemand braucht mehr eine solche Partei! Ludwig Erhard, Konrad Adenauer u.a. drehen sich im Grab herum!

Wann werden endlich die CDU Parteimitglieder gegen diesen Unsinn aufbegehren! Gegen AKK sollte ein Parteiausschlussverfahren eingeleitet werden! Merkel sollte zum Rücktritt aufgefordert werden! Pronto!

"Kramp-Karrenbauer hat sich nun für einen – nach Massstäben der Union – radikalen Vorstoss starkgemacht: die Einführung einer verbindlichen Frauenquote für die Partei. In der Nacht zum Mittwoch hat sich die Satzungskommission nach langer Debatte auf einen Kompromiss geeinigt. Dieser wiederum soll im Dezember auf dem Bundesparteitag den Delegierten zur Abstimmung vorgelegt werden. Zuvor will sich der CDU-Bundesvorstand im Oktober mit den Empfehlungen der Kommission befassen. "

Deutschland: CDU will eine Frauenquote von 50 Prozent bis 2023 Die Parteichefin Kramp-Karrenbauer will die Christlichdemokraten in den letzten Monaten ihrer Amtszeit deutlich modernisieren. Das dürfte sie viel Überzeugungsarbeit kosten.

Die SED Kanzlerin und ihre Kommissare!

Wirtschaftsweise Im Gespräch: „Mit Frauen wäre der VW-Skandal nicht passiert“

Ist Monika Schnitzer eine Wirtschaftsweise oder eine feministische Quotenfrau? Ich fürchte es ist das Letztere! Was für ein Schnitzer!

"Weil diverse Teams bessere Leistungen bringen. Das zeigen wissenschaftliche Studien. Wir brauchen mehr gemischte Teams, Männer und Frauen, verschiedene Nationalitäten und soziale Herkunft. Warum? Weil die unternehmerische Wirklichkeit genau so vielfältig ist wie die Menschen."

Frau Schnitzer hat sich also auch dieser dümmlichen und sogar rassistische sexistischen linken diversity Ideologie angenommen!

Warum Monika Schnitzer mehr Frauen an der Spitze fordert Mit mehr Frauen an der Spitze könnte die Wirtschaftswelt anders aussehen, meint die Wirtschaftsweise Monika Schnitzer. Im Interview spricht sie über kriminelle Manager, strukturelle Widerstände und männliche Selbstüberschätzung. (Leider ist das Interview hinter einer paywall)

Als ob sich Frauen nie selbst überschätzen!
