More women on corporate boards needed - just fire men until it's 50-50

[Malintent]

Women only want their fair share. It is impossible to redress past wrongs fully. We'll be satisfied with justice in the present and to forgive past wrongs.

Fair share of rights, not of responsibilities.

The "wage gap" is because of mommy track. You don't fix that by punishing business for supposed discrimination, you fix that by working towards equality in child rearing.

According to an interview on NPR (with whom I do not recall), the idea that family rearing responsibilities get in the way of women's career development is false. It was found in an (unnamed) study that both men and women are equally motivated to achieve better resources (salary) to support their children. In other words, when women with jobs have children, they become more motivated to work harder to provide for their children.

I would like to see the study, as I would find it very surprising. I work as a lawyer. When I was in law school a decade ago, there were more women than men there. Today there are more men than women still working in law, and especially more men than women at the big law firms downtown that require 24/7 availability and long hours put in. Women have gravitated to government positions, and smaller firms where their time is more flexible. The law society has been seeking to address this and considers it a gender issue when pushing those big downtown firms to be more flexible and when pushing the industry as a whole to be more flexible.

If the geography is giving you trouble, just try to remember that Austria is the one just to the north of Slovenia. That should give you a geographic context for the place.

Is Slovenia near Slovakia?

Motivation isn't the issue. Time worked is.

Is this based on interviews and surveys, or is it based on revealed preferences (the career decisions men and women actually make)? Interviews and surveys are far less worthwhile and more prone to error than studying the actual choices people make. Do you have a link to the study?
