In reaction to a text from onb2017, I get upon the following:

As a Westerner speaking from within the West, I don't really see a unification to stand up against those forces which want to keep the workforce and majority of the population of the world down ever coming so soon.

The reason is the following: Everyone - differing groups - can't even agree on the color of turd.
How do you want to achieve a higher and more complex goal like that, if you can't even manage that triviality?

On the other hand, there is to be considered and has to be admitted: Do I want to work together with feminists, with intersectionalists, with Identity Politics disciples, which want to tell me that the suffering of a woman or a black person is always bigger than mine, if I happen to be a paleface and are not female?
Do I want to work together with people whose primary business every day is first offending me, ridiculing me and telling me that I'm the source of the evil of the world because I have the wrong sex (or want to convert into the wrong sex)?

These people should check out health problems with biological origins... Then they would learn that the problems they refer to - social problems - are solvable, if everyone really wants to, while biological health problems rarely are that solvable that they'll be gone completely. Plus, you can't run away from them, as you carry them with you wherever your go, even to the edge of the world with no other humans around anymore.

What I want to say by this: You stupid fools, obsessing with your social/human problems... Get a life. This will keep both of your hands busy with enough to do.
Even if human-made problems can be quite nasty, evil, violent, brutal and malevolent - still they are solvable (because it "simply" requires human agreement on a common basis and fairness), while problems resulting from bad material, material that cannot be exchanged after developing anymore, often aren't.
This type of problems can hit everyone, regarless of skin color, regarless of sex, regardless of ethnicity or wherever you were born on this planet.
Regardless of what you believe in, prefer or think is right and wrong.

And as long as there are larger groups of people which put their reverse racism and sexism as the top priority on their list instead of recognizing the usefullness in achieving something which everyone benefits from, the road to working together for a particular goal is going to be blocked.
Same for people who subscribed to esoteric nonsense, fucked up conspiracy theories and religious faith, who are hostile to fact-based edcuation and well-established medicine (and/or only accept the "education" and "medicine" which they approve of), who react aggressively if they get put in their place once in their lives - who only put an interest in getting themselves and their kin the best life and the best resources, making their children and grand-children and parents survive and leave everyone else to die.

You can't act together if there is no common ground and if each group is only interested in lobbyism for the social group they want to represent because they think their group is the best of all living creatures and everyone else is unworthy trash.
You can't act together if hate and despise for each other is the greatest point you have in common.
And if those who still want to be fair are being laughed at, silenced and then trampled upon - like, what they want and demand from everyone is totally impossible to achieve, or even "ignorant of all the wrongs being done to group X in history".

At least I find, I can't work together with people brain-washed and self-obesessed like that.
(They only want to change to the other side of the table anyway... That's what the character of their acting and their mindset strongly implies.)

Parts of them you even don't want to be seen with because their stupidity and greed is embarrassing as hell.

...Therefore, even if not wanting to subscribe to all that crap that divides everyone, there is no real way around having to surrender to parts of it because the differing social groups in society are so mutually incompatible with each other (also with your own viewpoints) - it's like wanting to make a lion work together with a type of animal that is its natural prey.

Und wieder läutet der Tag der dummen Fragen. "Ask a Stupid Question Day" auch in Übersee genannt.

Ein dumme Frage: Wozu tragen manche einen Holzfäller-Bart, wenn sie doch gar kein Holz fällen oder fällen können?


Bonusfrage (weil letztes Jahr unerwartet ausfiel): Lebt denn der alte Holzmichl noch?

Some observation that I have made regarding this current zeitgeist and the mindset of the new young generation (time-wise to be sorted as “Generation Z”):

Previous generations were oriented towards “making it themselves”, achieving something through their own powers and skills, having internalized the rule “there is no gain without effort before”.
They show the tendency, if wanting a particular item or non-material good, to first start to rack their brains how they can get to their goal themselves and do rather ask for help in order to add strength to their own efforts or because someone else might have the direct competence over what they wish.
Problems are regarded as their, and only their, issue and they try to solve it themselves, even if having to dare trying a few times.

While the new young generation (aka “Generation Z”) has a somewhat strange and totally different attitude to take life on.
The most their mindset reminds oneself to a child which constantly heads over to Mom to appeal to her whenever they’re confronted with anything they don’t know or harbor the feeling about that they can’t overcome it through their own abilities.
They quickly reach out for help - but not in order to strengthen their weak powers; they directly want someone else to do the job for them at best. Without having to do or invest anything of their own energy in it.
Also, they quickly give up if something doesn’t work as they have imagined it to. It’s like no-one ever taught them that trying eventually leads to success - by making mistakes, by correcting them the next time, until their dexterity and skill level is high enough so that they can overcome the obstacle or master the task given.
And their imaginations about how something works are also very naive, incomplete, overly idealistic, utopian. Lacking firm knowledge in practical things, as well as what particular entities in this world do and how they are interconnected with each other.

The question of social justice is also very differently understood in their grasp of the human world.
While the previous generation believed in own action and had trust in what their own hands can shape, the new young generation bets on inability to cause influence on their fate through their own powers and believes in systematic predetermination based on one’s flesh. On one’s overall bodily features, one’s inborn desires, one’s national and/or cultural heritage - like talent is everything that makes the shooting star and not honing the raw diamond into a jewel.

Again, features of a situation like a child steadily heading over to Mom and appealing to her to do something for oneself come to show.
Everything is and/or has to be perfect from the start, there is no trying or that trying creates the masterpiece. You are what you are born as and can’t get any step further than that. So the world, instead, has to have regard for you all the time and take into account your inborn features.
It has to deliver you what you need to live and what you desire, like owning something to you for never lending a dime, and if the world doesn’t comply with the claim, it’s evil, oppressive - people who get it even though are “privileged” and not maybe have done something to receive anything back, didn’t deserve it by the efforts of their hands and mind.

In other words, you can also compare it to a dogmatic faith to a deity. The deity gives, the deity takes, but humans themselves are powerless and need to rely on the mercy of the God they worship.
But without the duty to bring up material sacrifices and do everything it takes to have the attention and satisfaction of the deity, so that it will continue to drop gifts to them which they live of.
A total “the sky drops what I need, and if doesn’t drop anything, I’ll wait forever until it does”-mindset. Dependence and unspoken claims that are being mistaken as self-evident in life.

Like a kid which never was allowed to live on its own - also, like a kid which understood that you best make it to your goal if you let other people do the job for you.
And the kids were seemingly born into surroundings and a larger social culture which uncritically complied with that strategy. Which didn’t ever really raise a finger and said “Hey, kid, nothing is for free and you’re already big enough to do something on your own, you’re not in my womb anymore and need extra-protection!”.
Which easily danced according to their pipe, if they learned how to twist people around their little finger safely.

Even their kinds to act out violence seem influenced by this “other people do what I want them to”-circumstance.
While in the previous generation, direct violence and direct duels to settle something were still common, including the unwritten rule of “mercy for the one who lost”, the folks from Generation Z have internalized all imaginable types of passive-aggressive violence: Bullying, deceiving, lying, provoking, offending, frazzling out, hunting one down with online-harassment and photographs etc..
Types of violence that always make them look like they haven’t done anything wrong and the victim is the evildoer if it reacts to their acting or loses it.
And if they practice direct violence, you’ll experience it rather as an unstopped orgy to spill blood - because something like the unwritten rule “mercy for the one who lost” doesn’t exist for them. Empathy for one’s victim doesn’t exist, complete and total destruction is what they seek - and they also greatly underestimate their own physical powers. How quickly their beating and kicking can kill someone or at least harm the person irreversibly for life.

Again, like a mommy’s darling. A spoiled brat which barely ever heard the world say “no” to its wishes, who never learned how to deal with this denial emotionally - with this realization “the world isn’t entirely about me” -, and which, on the other hand, wasn’t taught much of anything how this world actually works. How very, very not bad it is if they have to find something out on their own and that it takes time to become.
Also, which forgets that even mommy is a human being, that she isn’t an unquestionable God, so that she automatically distributes resources and gifts completely fairly.
Meaning, that if claiming social justice on a larger level of society, it’s also going to be carried out by humans and they can all be biased towards or against somebody or a whole group. The firm “universal social justice” that lasts for all days they seek is actually a myth, a dream.
Much rather it’s like a constant fight, a constant struggle for realignment that happens every now and then.

Such is life which requires permanent effort to harvest fruits of success, and not one big new re-arrangement how resources will be distributed and everything will be fine from then.

According to how this young generation is minded and what it demands from the world (socially as well as politically), you can always puzzle together an image of how they must have been raised to become like this...
And - this cannot have been a good base.

If people get so confused about their identity, if they’re male or female, if they have no proper differentiated understanding that they can have psychical shares of both sexes and need a new word for it (like it’s an unknown species that no-one has previously discovered or dared to give a name to), if they are clueless about a personality generally being fluid to a certain extent (that’s what you call “moods”)... Then they cannot have been properly welcomed and introduced to the world.
More than that, they must have been given nothing to orientate by.
Not properly developed, they wander through an endless fog of uncertainty...
Parents who weren’t good at nurturing - society which wasn’t good at delivering clear rules and structures.

Imagine living in a spooky amusement park, and you don’t know what’s right and what’s wrong to take of its rides.
Or what of them may behead you.
That’s what they originally tumbled around in life, and while growing up they have adapted to these surroundings. Adopting the habit to not do anything themselves, or doing it just for the positive reaction they get, and rather try to get other people to do something particular for them who they witness at being more skilled, for example.
Performing the behavior of a little child rather than that of an adult.
Learning how to do all those techniques to pretend, deceive and manipulate which their parents already used to hide and mask the lack in character and cognitive skills they already had.


...If you ask me, if nobody seriously tries to make up for all the stuff this generation missed with them together, you don’t want to see the day when the members of it become parents.
‘Cause they’re going to suck big style and leave behind an even more cognitively and mentally neglected generation than the ones before as a Generation Z.
And, actually, if you’re fair and took it on from the root, you’d also have to sit down with the parents from Generation Y and X over their own personal deficits - because it’s them who bred the generation debated about.
Something must have happened or changed drastically in the surroundings these lived in as adults, from when they were children and teens themselves, so that they raised such kids.

I think I get it why you need these “alternative” or “wider” terms to describe your sex role in society, whose terms for sex (which you mistake with the social sex role aka “gender”) you perceive to be too narrow to include you.

You run after this bullshit from US-style social sciences because the world wasn’t ever a place before to teach you a differentiated way of thinking and understanding about sex - socially as well as physically and psychically. You run after these terms because solely them fetch you from the railway station you’re at inside - lost and mentally confused about yourself as you are.
If someone else did, you’d use their terms instead and regard yourself through this pair of glasses.
It’s not like they’re truly scientific, they just close a gap within what society and public school taught you about life.
By closing this gap, they only become scientific to you, although you sure have no idea of what science truly is like and how it works to generate and validate new knowledge and recognitions...

Uneducated simple small man’s mind. That’s what all this is born from.

And the world doesn’t do a good job of correcting that...
(Because much can be achieved by the plebs remaining intellectually and emotionally as simpleminded as a child, unlike if they individually all have a bit of brains and common sense and can figure things out by themselves, in case of need.)

Isn’t it a sharp contradiction?
The same kind of people which told you that sexual preferences are inborn and not voluntarily changeable, so that’s why conversion therapies are nonsense, fraud and (should be) legitimately forbidden everywhere - the same kind of people, on the other hand, wants to make you believe that sex (as “gender”) is fake, is an illusion, something like an inborn mental sex that was already coined before a human’s birth doesn’t exist, and that fake is solely constructed and a product of social indoctrination, therefore can be changed, chosen and adopted at will...

Folks: Either you’re really convinced of Biological Determinism, or you’re all for Behaviorism. Changing the explanation patterns according to whatever would make you look virtuous and brought you into a position of being incontestable by any sane person, is neither going to make you appear serious, nor does it seem factually (and by that: scientifically) consistent.
On the contrary, some attentive people may even smell the rat that you’re trying to serve them - that it’s not about facts or really finding them out, but just about building up an emotional narrative.

Actually, the charge of the Capitol is just the tip of the ice berg of a development that's been going on for longer in the United States.
It's an event displaying the deep split within the US society and its political system, as well it's an expression of two very sharply opposing forces which both firmly believe to have found the Holy Grail and be on a mission from the Lord itself, while they're just both streams trying to force their understanding of how the world works upon the rest of the society governed by them.

In other words, to the people lesser educated about the US: Intersectionality is just radical racism and sexism through the backdoor, it doesn't change anything, and violent anti-racist protests and arbitrary juristic accusations against whoever is in the wrong place at the wrong time aren't going to fix your country (neither they bake you a loaf of bread) - just like a drifting back to nostalgia, glorifying golden economic ages which are no more, displaying one's guns in public all the time, disregarding the rules what one's country is made of and governed by, believing in bullshit theories about getting younger and 150 years old through the blood of children, stepping on the lesser financially fortunate and steadily disputing over if the poor deserve to get any handouts like social benefits and a general health insurance (because they're supposedly "of no use to anyone") isn't going to make anything turn to the better.

Each side needs to take a step back from their replacement religion and recognize it for what it is: Something that only takes places in their heads. Imagination.
And then take a precise pragmatic look at what the problems are - facts, not faith.

(It isn't called "theory" for nothing... "Theory" means "explanation pattern lacking scientific proof for it".)

In the case of US society drifting apart and being shortly before fighting each other physically, all supporters of both fractions can take a good look at themselves, if they search someone to blame.
It's your fault altogether!

Just so you heard it for once...

(This is trying to redefine some categories and terms in which the mainstream way of acting commits a couple of major scientific errors just for the sake of keeping up some important achievements of progress for certain human minority groups.
I shouldn’t ever calculate with anybody meaningful reading this and picking it up, but what the heck, you never know... And did all important pioneers in social issues ever aim or expect to become that kind of figures that they became later on?
Also, sometimes the academic sector needs a little input from the intelligentsia of the plebs in order to see clearly again.)

Sex (if talking about the human feature): That category should be divided into two - physical and mental sex.

Physical sex is the biological sex one is getting born with. It has two strict determinations for humans, just as for other mammals and a lot of other multicellular organisms.
If this determination somehow got twisted and can’t unambiguously categorized into one of the two for humans, then this is called “intersex” or “intersexual” and can’t be answered so easily.
You’ll have to go with what mental sex manifested in an individual then to assort correctly.

Mental sex is the psychical manifestation of a person’s sex.
As far as scientific studies go, it’s a determination resting inside the depths of an individual’s brain, with no specific organ or “spot” to be located. The determination is made pre-birth, inside one’s mother’s womb. Indications point towards the hormones of the mother throughout the pregnancy being responsible for which development a human fetus takes in this point.
It cannot be altered or changed.
Mental sex and physical sex can be opposed to each other - that’s what is called “trans” or “transsexual”, or “transgender” in the modern times.
Also they can “not match” in other ways - like an undefined dysphoria perceived by an individual, but which doesn’t fit this “oppose each other”-framework, or that an individual cares lesser about its mental and physical sex assignment at all than other people and, maybe, doesn’t mind if it had been born with the physics of the other biological sex. Those people are called “neutrois” - stemming from the term “neutral”. (So to say: People who feel “neutral”, “unspecific”.)
“Nonbinary” is another term to express about the same state of things, but is in scientific ways rather debatable because the verbal assumption of a “Nonbinary” as counterpart to the binary rule of male and female, if a species hasn’t originally been designed as sexless or as hermaphrodites, is like inventing an artificial category that naturally doesn’t exist.
If to be seen as anything factually “correct”, then this term should be better understood as purely “in social context” - meaning: As a personal crutch to express a perceived inner state of complex feelings and as means to communicate that towards other people with just few effort.
In nature without other humans near, this self-description/self-assertion is meaningless.

If people talk about a differing perception of themselves throughout their lives regarding their physical and mental sex, then this is also mostly due to a biologically undetermined conception of their brains in terms of mental sex, which they had already been born with.
Life and living itself are rather the means to trigger this, to make this finally come out and cause awareness of this circumstance.

Gender whereas, as used in most modern contexts, is mostly misunderstood and confused for mental sex. For the biological and hormonal determination in one’s brain regarding one’s sex identity.
The mistake already stems from its original conception made by John Money - that sexologist which practiced “research” methods and harbored views like a pedophile in hiding and was responsible for the tragic and inhuman David Reimer case, where he unsuccessfully tried to turn a boy into a girl, resulting in both the affected person and its twin brother later killing themselves as adults -, which introduced the “Sex and gender distinction”, but made the fundamental error in its concept to declare cultural norms and roles as the sole factor of influence for the development of a person’s sex identity and, in its very worst point, it ignored, in favor of these cultural norms and roles, the neuropsychological embodiment of sex that is already firmly “burned” into the depths of an individual’s brain as soon as it leaves the body of its mother.
The Anglo-Saxon part of the world seems to have internalized this idea of “gender” and “mental sex being entirely constructed from cultural norms” for whatever reason, proving that by still keeping on using the word “gender” in such contexts without really remembering its creator, what context it arose from and, especially, what horrific “researches” on living people are the base for this false assumption.
For whatever reason - maybe because of the excessive talk about human culture in general at some point in time and not just the aspect of it to act out one’s mental sex -, it forgot the actual meaning of the term “gender” at some point, or totally adopted it and surrendered to the idea of exuberant voluntary choice (perhaps because it wanted to believe in the overrated myth of man’s capability to conscious choice) - even through all other studies and proclamations of individuals that rather indicate that human culture can’t erase some “base programmings” of animal nature that humans are also subject to and which they still carry within them.
Even if reduced in their forms due to the huge brain that humans developed over several thousands of years, these given basic programmings remain intact, otherwise humans had no physical reflexes or inborn instincts.
So to say, humans aren’t completely “blank” if they get born to this world.
There are some determinations that have been made before that, those stem from the progress of one’s mother’s pregnancy and one’s own genetic code.
If those weren’t made before, the newborn human would be unable to develop a personality of its own, would be unable to develop own cognitive skills and have no reason to ever grow into an adult. For survival, independent and individual cognitive thinking is necessary.

Mental sex is a part of those determinations that originate from man’s animal nature.
No matter how much humans actually change and adapt their environment to suit their own (partly even self-created) needs, humans are never separated from being a part of nature.

So gender can, by its own definition of being “changeable” and “fluid”, just only be a cultural thing, a matter of behavior, a thing of self-expression inside each individual’s local culture, but not a component which is an original feature of the human species.
This also reveals itself very openly by “genders” differing in various human cultural circles.

Because, from an evolutionary point and from the point how the human species is naturally designed, mental sex cannot be fluid or inconsistent.
If it was, humans would die out because, for example, masses of males would choose to behave like females, but without their respective reproductive organs, and/or masses females would choose to behave like males without featuring their respective reproductive organs.
The organs are designed to function correctly with a specific base mental condition.
As mainstream behavior, it won’t be the males choosing their partners for reproduction exceptionally wisely because they produce too much biological means to actually create an offspring. This even causes them physical pain if being kept inside for too long.
Vise versa, it will only be few females which generally promiscuously sleep with every male they can get. Because the genetic material at hand to procreate for them is rather limited compared to males. If they adopt this behavior, it may more have to do with hearing their so-called “biological clock” tick and finding it to have remained unsatisfied until this moment.

So that’s why it becomes no mainstream in any culture (and by that, also in gender) to switch the mating behavior, even though according to human will it would be perfectly choosable as one pleases.
As painful as it may sound, but both biological and mental sexes follow the patterns nature had intended for that specific determination, in order for the species to survive.
And no-one urges these two manifestations to do that, they do that all by themselves. Out of an own motivation which they don’t know about what it actually stems from.
Just as stated - like a “base programming” that is inborn to them. Like an instinct that works on its own without needing to consciously think about it.

So, pin this as it is: There is biological sex, there is mental sex and there is gender. There are three components in this topic section, not just two.
Gender is the human-made part. Culture, personal upbringing, personal self-expression, individual choice, residential region, local customs, capitalist marketing, zeitgeist.
Gender and mental sex are two different things.
While the first is not fully independent of the latter, the latter has nothing to do with the first.

Or, in short: Gender ≠ mental sex.

Mental sex is determined (no matter to which “option” it is determined to be, even if “set” to “neutral”), while Gender is your own choice.

And lest not forget, in the majority of humans their physical and their mental sex match.
They may even have no real reason to consciously think about choosing their gender because they feel fine with who they are or what role they’re socially embedded in.
This should not be marginalized in all that.

A smugly pharisaic cult that calls itself “progressive”, but which doesn’t have anything to do with the traditional left, and which even highly contradicts itself, so that it neither makes sense, nor does it firmly tell what it wants the world to turn into, goes viral during those years, trying to take over the public discourse and police everybody’s thoughts, everybody’s words, fill everybody’s sane feeling of “doing nothing wrong” arbitrarily with fear and shame of possibly doing the wrong with their every move (and that being the fault of their lives). It researches internet histories for just the smallest in violations of a mindset/ideology which barely anyone outside of its circles understands and supports.
They do that in order to be able to appeal to the mob to “hang the perpetrator higher”, much less like leftists, but more like just ordinary egomaniacs whose world circulates entirely around themselves and which can’t let anybody live anything else that they don’t understand or approve.
Meanwhile, even former allies don’t seem safe from that self-righteous method, once they take a single stance which the “cult” mob disapproves. Everything that they don’t agree with becomes a fatal lashing out against everyone to ruin their lives because they deem it “legitimate” to do so.

This... isn’t leftist. It’s the classic strategy from the right to ban everything they don’t approve. To cleanse the world from material, ideas and thought which they arbitrarily deem “a sin” out of whatever conservative or religious mindset. Or out of fear from anything which can become dangerous to their power inside the political system.
This isn’t even progressive ‘cause it downright paralyzes progress. You can see it its effects: People shut their mouths or censor their own speech in advance in order to not become victim of the all-destroying lash that outlaws you and calls for making your life miserable as long as you live (calling straight down for your suicide would be illegal), necessary debates disappear from the screen, unpopular as well as factually wrong or controversial stances move to the underground and develop themselves further in the darkness where barely anyone gets to know how their stories continue, people shy away from making public speeches or actually enter practicing an activity in the public and the public culture turns into a one-sided mash of monoculture which doesn’t reflect peoples’ everyday life nor the reality overall.

That is the very nature of what one knows from dogmatic theocracies as well as totalitarian dictatorships - only this time, there’s a different bunch of people sitting in the seats who command it. Not old white heterosexual men, but old and young, heterosexual as well as homo- and bisexual, binary and nonbinary, gender-reaffirmed as well as cis, black, brown and white men, women and neutrois. Who, instead of working with the gun and the threat of physical execution, work with brutal shaming and outlawing, leaving it either to the victim itself to beat itself up over its “misbehavior” or to someone unassociated and anonymous who wants to to carry out the dirty work, letting it appear like an accident, an overshoot or something else which they can’t be held responsible for because that “was an individual’s decision we disassociate from”.

“So then, if you have a lot to criticize about LBGTQA+ culture, what is it then what you want instead? What do you want it instead to be like?”

“I want it to be a place that also offers space for hardness. That isn’t afraid of hardness. That constantly doesn’t harbor an obsession with femininity and mentally equates that with the softness that is supposed to be the general emotionality of the human soul. Who the heck has established that association anyway? Isn’t that copycatting “enemy propaganda” or some sort of that?
Also, it would be nice if people weren’t constantly reduced to their sexual orientation or their preferences, but to the personalities they are. Even LBGTQA+ people can be assholes, can be criminals and bitchy creatures, committing morally bad behavior and being personally uneasy to deal with.
LBGTQA+ people also ought not to follow only a certain set of politics that seems like “endorsable” in their situation by outsiders or scene-insiders. For example: What is with those who enjoy their time spending it with guns, spending it in a uniform or a fighting suit, studying the arts of battle? Instead of making a fuss about playing with their genitals? Are they no less part of the group or doesn’t it just not suit a cliché about LBGTQA+ that LBGTQA+ has about itself?
Give those ones a place inside your scene and a steady public representation, so that people who have those preferences don’t feel as excluded and alien as they do now. You have hidden way too long behind your shield of sex and “stand by your sensitive side”! It’s a matter of fact that some people just don’t have that interest so much or that sensitive side inside their personality, or they don’t show it to others in that way which you’d regard as your understanding of “liberated”. They’re just that personality that they are and besides they’re LBGTQA+.”

The recent obsession with “getting women into high representative offices” - tell you what it’s motivated by behind all this esoteric mumbo jumbo that they want to make believe.
On one hand, it’s enforcing a result what the reigning worldwide system (capitalism) didn’t deliver through the ways it’s designed until today - while there is a social demand for exactly that.
Instead of changing, which would make capitalism be no capitalism anymore, not in the way that the people which previously benefited the most from it continue to do so, they rather set up the plan to suggest the illusion of “okay, we gonna give this to you through enforcement with the crowbar” to get this demand superficially satisfied. “Superficially” because it’s a simple pattern of reigning through dogmatic decrees and entitling by favoring of mere physical features, instead of the previous pattern “sort out the most able for a job” (which is how capitalism, as well as any other system, stays capable to keep up itself). It’s not a realistic merit achieved by personal skills of character, it’s just an “accomplishment” like through a big famous name, connections or crawling up someone’s ass. Knowing who to give a blowjob to do a favor in order to get promoted.
On the other hand, it may be a tactic to activate a potential reserve of skilled workers which they’ve stopped investing a single penny in in the Western countries for several decades - now that they can already see the end of the brain drain from countries that still kept investing in the school education of its people because there are no skilled workers anymore in these, ready and willing to leave. They’ve already lured them all over to their side.
In other terms: If they still want some skilled workers to do the jobs, they’ve got to spend money again on some to actually become able to do so. The big pool they’ve stemmed from in the previous decades of alleged economic boom, it’s empty. Those people which can still come over, they aren’t the types of workers they look for in the Western world and they won’t ever be.
So, what to do? They rediscover their contingent of home-born women which they always tried to keep out of the job cycle because of conservative moral thinking.
But there is a twist - who promised eternal wealth before and told its women “just stay home, rely on a husband”, you can’t just switch the strategy like moving a lever and they all will go for the new craze now. Rather they gonna ask “What the heck is going on?! Why shall I contribute a share now so that I can live the way I do?! Previously things worked without that too!” - and this would be a rational and justified question.
By the way, the women which shall now enter the high ranks, portions of them discover how much the wheelings and dealings of this reigning system is not what they imagine as meaning of life, not what they wish to function like. So there is to make the strong guess large portions of them won’t behave as desired in order to fulfill that purpose which the big plan had intended them for.

Well, the important players of capitalism, knowing that their plan is going to fail, they already grab one of their jokers in this - and this is some method they always do: Let the manipulation machine spin restlessly.
Not just igniting and keeping the fire of gender war burning - also appointing a few sorted women into high positions by command immediately and staging that as “proof” of how their system is able though to deliver what society demands. This is what will be the “female quota”.
If there will be the abled ones among them, or not rather those who only know how to climb up a ladder in a hierarchy and which are eager for a big paycheck for the least amount of work to do, well, judge yourself...

So, basically in brief: This zeitgeisty mumbo jumbo currently is not much else than a trial of capitalism as it is to save its own ass for another time and go on living for some few years more.
In-depth, it’s just one big show - nothing really changes.
And as soon as it can already afford it again, this system’s gonna kick those women in their asses - just like after WWI and II as they maintained the structures of their respective home countries and helped rebuilding them again.
“Thank you for the job nicely done, but now get the fuck back to the kitchen and bear us a baby, we don’t need your work effort anymore!” - that’s what it’ll end in anytime.
(Mind you: The same like men have experienced if they worked of their ass for a firm for 20 years and then get fired during the next big mass dismissal for the shareholders’ dividend.)
