Reply to comment by LionsLoseAgain in German defense minister announces resignation by misana123

Gender parity is important and there are plenty of competent women available for this role (as listed above in the post you replied to.)

Your later comment about cabinet jobs not going to long-serving politicians as a reward/perk is mildly hilarious coming from an American (as am I).

Yes we need Germany to be more proactive in Ukraine. But we also know why they have serious issues with miltarism and lets not pretend we don't. :-)

It sure is ideal if both genders are represented, but it's not an ideal approach to attempt to achieve that by introducing more sexism. Could gender quota be needed? Maybe. But let's not pretend as if it is anything approaching ideal. After all, there already have been countless examples of women rising to the top in German politics because of their credentials and skills.
