French Fine For Hiring Too Many Women Dropped | NBC News NOW
This is ridiculous
Hire more women
I should be made wealthy now, for the decades of not being wealthy! The way some people think just boggles the mind!
I'm simply thunderstruck by the enthusiasm and bombast with which they shout their hypocrisy.
They state that previous administrations were fined – successfully – for hiring too many men, and then celebrate the absence of consequences when the situation is reversed. From this, they draw the conclusion that modern Western women are "still fighting to have their say."
I mean, you may as well enthusiastically, cheerfully broadcast that 1+1=3.
as long as the equity position includes women volunteering to stay behind in titanic type situations and not be first on the life boats.
so the law is ok as long as it men… but for women its discrimination…… smh.
I wish I had a nice glass of red wine as I watched this even though it's not even noon. May the Madonna and Jesus bless the recognition of women whom birth and breast feed the women of our future! From America to the women of France…ðŸ¤â€â€ÃƒÂ°Ã…¸â€™Å¸Ã°Å¸â€™Å¸Ã°Å¸Å’¹ðŸ’•
Is it true that French chicks don’t shave their pits?
Discrimination, racism, sexism, etc. will only come to an end once we truly understand what exactly makes us equal. As long as that remains vague, sentimental and conceptual, it will never really change.

Wow..what an ASSH*LE..Jobs 30 yrs ago..women could NEVER HOLD..😒
Stop point at me for a center. I dont know this crazy name.
Get back to me after women hold the majority of positions for 200 yrs or so . Get back to me after men need their wives/mothers permission to open a bank account . Get back to me when women actually get equal pay and are actually paid what they are worth .
What is defined as "too many women"? I'm not familiar with the law in France, so I can't really say whether that's constitutional or not.
Imagine if men were fined for the last thousands of years!!
I always cringe when Americans act like Europe is a country.

wtf it's not like a debt that men have to pay. Men today didn't personally go back in time to steal top positions from women, why should they be punished?
By the mayor's line of thinking France should pay massive reparations to all her former colonies for past years of slaveryðŸ¤â€Â
Wtf….does it matter if they the best for job…or does haft to a women…
I believe it should not matter…what matter if are the best for job…
All women, all men…one man or one woman…black, white what ever…
Stop dividing…we are one…
I’m a woman and all for equality but we can’t have a double standard either. If companies have been paying fines for having too many men then she should also have to pay for having too many women. THATS equality.
Covering France from Brexit London? What next, CNN's LA correspondent covers Japan and Pacific-rim? Typical anti-global reporting approach by MSNBC. It goes without saying that MSNBC doesn't have a correspondent in Brussels, EU centre of power, right? Covered from Brexit London too? What a surprise!
Hooters would be outta business. Men be out protesting the discriminatory law 🤣🤣
So when more men are hired… they are fined?? But in this case , no fine??
THIS IS CHIEF FOLLOW THIS LINK AND SEE MORE UPDATE https://youtube.com/channel/UCW9lDrIsJjYKXxyE6c0MzjQ
Who didn't watch the video and went straight to the comments?
I agree, more women need top positions too.
Why does such a fine even existed?
What if the case was named as "hiring too few men", would the outcome be different?
