gender简单

A pair of bills sponsored by Massachusetts state Senator Jason Lewis and House Speaker Pro Tempore Patricia Haddad, to ensure “gender parity” on boards and commissions, provide a case in point.

马萨诸塞州参议员杰森·刘易斯和众议院临时议长帕特里夏·哈达德发起的两项旨在确保各委员会中“性别均等”的法案，就是一个恰当的例子。

The bills are similar to a measure recently adopted in California, which last year became the first state to require gender quotas for private companies.

这些法案与加利福尼亚州最近通过的一项措施类似，加州去年成为第一个要求私营公司实行性别配额的州。

Requiring companies to make gender the primary qualification for board membership will inevitably lead to less experienced private sector boards.

要求公司把性别作为董事会成员的首要条件，必然会导致私营部门董事会经验不足。

That is exactly what happened when Norway adopted a nationwide corporate gender quota.

挪威在全国范围内实行企业性别配额时，正是发生了这种情况。

Next time somebody pushes corporate quotas as a way to promote gender equity, remember that such policies are largely self-serving measures that make their sponsors feel good but do little to help average women.

下次再有人推行企业配额制作为促进性别平等的方式时，请记住，这类政策在很大程度上是自私自利的措施，只会让发起者自我感觉良好，对普通女性却几乎毫无帮助。

help little to reduce gender bias.

对减少性别偏见帮助不大。
