From today's Feminist Daily News;
New Law in Norway Requires Women to be 40 Percent of Corporate Boards
Publicly traded private companies in Norway are now obliged to have 40 percent of corporate boards to be comprised of women and have been given two years to meet the requirement. Karita Bekkemellem, Minister of Children and Equality, has threatened to dissolve any company that does not do so, reports the New York Times.
This is a truly appalling misuse of state power.
That aside, it beats me why women want a situation where they can never be sure if they progress on their own merits.

I used to think the scenario in 'Atlas Shrugged' was a bit overstated.
used to, that is...
