[pp.int.general] Women in piracy

[Justus Ršoemeth]

So what you are saying is that we should vote for women or older people 
even though it seems to those voting that there are better persons to do 
the task? I think this is exactly what we should not do. (for the 
record, in Germany women are voted into positions of the german pirate 
party for example, even though only a tiny part of all German pirates 
are women. If women were systematically voted against I agree that would 
be a problem, but I think what happened in Brussels was that the people 
who were voted for positions in the board were deemed as better suited 
for the task. Of the two female (which is a number we should all agree 
on to try to increase!) candidates one wasn't there physically, which 
hampered her just as the male candidates who weren't there (this has to 
be addressed as well), while on your candidature there were voices even 
from your own party that claimed that they hardly knew you (no offence).
I agree that we should get women interested in our politics, as our 
problems are their problems, too. But we shouldn't just force the wopmen 
through the electoral process.
