“Hans Schulz is vice president for the private sector and non-sovereign guaranteed operations of the Inter-American Development Bank.”

He writes for the Washington Post:

As someone who works in international development, I often participate in discussions about gender equality. We lament that there are too few female entrepreneurs, bank clients, political leaders and chief executives. We talk about the importance of including female voices and having women in leadership roles.

And yet when development conferences come together, it’s shocking how few women are invited to speak.

In the past year, I spoke at 22 conferences in 11 countries. That adds up to 296 panels of two or more people, plus 226 keynote, opening and closing speeches, for a total of 1,905 speakers. Unfortunately, only 390 — or 20 percent — of those speakers were women. Seven conferences had four or fewer female panelists. And one conference did not have a single woman on the stage…

When I attend meetings or travel for work, I bring back business cards and compile contact information of the successful women I meet.

Comments at the WP:

* The whole thing is a farce. There is nothing female about anything these people are doing. If women want to be on the stage they need to get hired and then work their way up like those men did. Just having a woman in a particular spot makes no difference in banking, particularly if she is an unqualified token.

* Begging might help. Women usually fall for this type of thing.

* Didnt like the sausage party huh? I dont blame you. Conferences, particularly those abroad, are much more fun with some ladies around.

From the Chateau: QFT from the self-improvement guide “Might is Right”, authored in 1890 by an Original Realtalker:

There is nothing particularly inviting about barren, dyspeptic, blue-stocking ‘New Women,’ in pants and spectacles; talking idiotic snuffle through their noses; with busts made of adjustable india-rubber; with narrow or padded hips, and “wheels between their legs,” scorching across the curbstones like mad. When such women are ‘captured’ what good are they? They won’t even breed; or if they do so (by accident) their puny embryos, have to be delicately nurtured into life with steam-heated incubator-mechanism and afterwards fed and weaned on ‘the bottle.’ The sons of such women — bottle fed abortions — of what good are they?

It is women of this kind (unnatural monsters they are) that cause so much domestic unhappiness. They have been “educated” along false lines, filled with bookish artificialism, and thereafter when called upon to take up their maternal duty, they are organic incapables. Hence the divorce court scandals — the fruit of wholesale degeneracy — encouraged by State interference with domestic affairs.

Gradually the curse of ‘Law’ invades the privacy of every home. It encourages emotional feminines to defy husbands, and Deify an irresponsible Authority. In other words it deliberately promotes unfaithfulness and unlimited free-love. It undermines the husband’s Control, but at what a dreadful cost? With the “equalization” of women comes wholesale panmixia — scientific concubinage, State-regulated polyandry, and the poisoning of all inter-family intercourse. When average women find in Statute Law a “deliverer” and a “champion” more powerful than their husbands and brothers, they become both unfaithful and profligate — especially if “well educated.”

Bonus! R.R. on open borders, miscegenation, and alien mystery meats:

Purity of blood has played (and is yet to play) a leading role in the drama of racial evolution. Races held in bondage are necessarily mongrelized, degraded, ‘equalized.’ Homeliness is one result of bad breeding.

When a higher type allies itself by marriage with a lower, it paves the way for its own ultimate degeneracy. When Spartans and Athenians mixed themselves with imported Asiatic and Egyptian slaves, their downfall was foretold; and when “Equality” became the motto of Christian Italy; Latins, Asiatics, and Negroes miscegenated, evolving the modern ‘Dago’ — who slaves for the descendents of the men his ancestors conquered.
