A propósito deste artigo e respectivo slideshow do The New York Times sobre a "afirmação positiva" instituída pela Noruega em 2003 - uma forma de optimizar a colocação de mais mulheres em cargos de topo nas empresas nacionais - e dos seus frutos nestes ultimos anos, lembrei-me de um artigo (também do mesmo jornal) da colunista Maureen Dowd sobre a negação histórica dos direitos das mulheres especialmente de um ponto de vista religioso:
«I asked why they were not more upset about living in a country where women’s rights were strangled, an inbred and autocratic state more like an archaic men’s club than a modern nation. They told me, somewhat defensively, that the kingdom was moving at its own pace, glacial as that seemed to outsiders.How could such spirited women, smart and successful on every other level, acquiesce in their own subordination?
I was puzzling over that one when it hit me: As a Catholic woman, I was doing the same thing.»
O que acham caros europeus? Ainda há muito para percorrer em termos de igualdade de género ou nunca se vai atingir em plenitude?
