| Message | Mr Speaker, This is "positive discrimination", and is still a form of discrimination. This mandates that people need to be of a certain colour of gender and skin colour; just because that desired skin colour is a minority does not make it right, it's still discrimination, this is still racism and sexism. As for your stance on men and woman receiving the same salary for the same job, that is a proposal we agree with, that is equality, however that is already in place! As for these proposals, we highly oppose them. This is too lenient on migrants and will allow just anyone to become a Dorvish citizen, this bill is far too lenient and immoral on abortion, this bill openly censors many things and is discriminative towards men! Nicolas Dorn, Leader of the Progress Party |

| Message | Only female partners? This is just discrimination against men. Nick Hochmeister, LAP Leader |
| Date | 20:56:44, January 29, 2017 CET | From | Libertären Partei | To | Debating the Feminism Act. |
| Message | Mr. Speaker, Only females can initiate a divorce. Major internet censorship.Have you even looked at your proposals? As for "Women and Men must be paid the same yearly salary no matter what.", no matter what! What about working hours, productivity and all other kinds of variables? Arend Beyer, State Chancellor. |
| Date | 21:15:20, January 29, 2017 CET | From | Feministische Partei | To | Debating the Feminism Act. |
| Message | These comments by these male and white senators are all the proof we need that these problems are real and this legislation will fix it. 1. Women still make an average of 56 cents for every one dollar men make. 2. There is a dire lack of PoC and women in the council. And 3. 99% divorce to only to steel from there wife in a relationship almost always after an abusive one. Women do that .0001% of the time. Plus 1/2 women suffer in domestic abuse while 1/1000 men suffer. - Celina Herz head of the FKP |
| Date | 21:27:53, January 29, 2017 CET | From | Konservative Union | To | Debating the Feminism Act. |
| Message | Mrs. Herz, What legislation in this piece of, excuse me, shit kind of proposal will make our situation better? What will it fix? The parity in the state councill is kept within the normal rate. And I assure you that there is no problem with that on the political life of our country. We've had female state chancellors and we have Mathilde Streimhof - the president. Goddamn it!!! Those numbers you've given us are out of order also. Sara Reiner, KU deputy leader. |
| Date | 21:37:45, January 29, 2017 CET | From | Liberalen Partei | To | Debating the Feminism Act. |
| Message | Then make equality, not give women the power to do everything. Men don't steal and you have no proof, women aren't all angels. Women are paid the same already but I'd happily investigate to prove we're equal. White men? That means our points are invalid? Excuse me for being in the majority on accident, and excuse me for supporting equal rights! Also, how is internet censorship feminism? Nick Hochmeister, LAP Leader |
| Date | 22:00:24, January 29, 2017 CET | From | Libertären Partei | To | Debating the Feminism Act. |
| Message | Ms. Herz, If men are less likely to get abused, according to your numbers, why cant they start a divorce? This whole bill is discriminating against men. Aurel Schultz, FEMALE justice spokesman. |
