You keep posting all sorts of things all over the place about this woman, you have used words such as "you people", "remoras" etc...
I think it is time you directly say what problem you have with this woman or else shut up, she is a minister in your country and you must show her some respect.
Replying to your moronic posts tends to make you feel better.
Until Swedish lassies have some decent woman role models, none of the clever girls are going to aspire towards these kind of jobs.
And how do you know that about evidence? Can you prove that women can do a better job than men? Here is what we know, most Nobel Prize winners are MEN! Now if you think you smart then prove it! Universities are open widely for you women just as much as it is to men...right? In fact, there are more women than men that going to universities in the western world, then what is your problem women? Why it always has to be this way, men this women that, we want this we want that? How about shut the hell up and let it happens naturally, how about? I'm sure those men in the boardrooms they have wives and daughters too, and i'm quite sure that those men want no less for their family members right? I mean we all have family members that are females right?
