When I read stuff like this

>EU pushes 40% quota for women on boards [1]

My jaw just like ... drops. Just image the OUTRAGE that would be caused if the headline was this

>EU pushes 50% quota for women in coal mines

I am all for equality, but just handing everything to women on a silver platter, and making rash decisions because they are a different gender is just stupid policy making imo.
