It's a big assumption to argue that keeping the system as it is with its current flaws will eventually lead to a demand for a thorough revamp. Most likely, if nothing is done to address any of these flaws, nothing will ever be changed.
Also, this argument that at this current time it's best that women not be included in these boards if they're basically going to be the same as men is what male privilege is about. It's about continuing to grant men this privilege not granted to women. It's ok for men to continue to be in these boards with all their flaws, but women should be kept out? Yeah, something about that doesn't seem right.
Politics is about keeping eyes on the ball of winning the war, not about getting distracted with what appears to be the right thing but does not contribute to the war.
Trying to do the little right thing instead of winning the big war is why little right things are won and then to everyone’s great surprise, lost again because the war is not won and the enemy is allowed to regroup and advance again.
Stopping to pick up the loot when the enemy appears to have retreated instead of following up and keeping a laser focus on destroying the enemy first is how wars are lost.
Yes, totally. Men are the enemy. We women must play the game right and destroy them to reach equality. And who decides on the game's rules? Men, of course. 'Twas always thus and that's how it should be. A level playing field? Nah. Please. Keep the status quo! Why demand any changes? These are puny distractions from winning the war. Just live with the way things are (what's so wrong with that anyway?) and when those in power want to yield, then you crazy women will get your equality.
