| Message | How would this be fair to woman? Isnt this anti feminism? If feminism is to support the equality of a woman, then it would be hard for the woman to know she was not choosen for skill, but rather because of a quota. This is a disqusting proposal,and we do not support! |

| Message | When a woman rises to the top, she knows she has conquered the bastions of male privileged and overcome innumerable obstacles which no man would have to face. More of the top positions in our economy need to be filled by smart and talented women rather than dull and incompetent men in suits. If we kicked out the men and put in the women our economic fortunes would reverse overnight. |
