Many high-level positions in companies are filled by men even though the workforce in many developed countries is more than 50 per cent female. Companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these high-level positions to women. To what extent do you agree?

In many developed countries, executive positions in companies and cabinet officials have persevered for females. In my opinion, I cannot totally agree with
this
policy. For a long time, the voice of equal rights between
men
and
women
has become prominent.
Although
it is not satisfactory, it can be expected that the stereotype of "
men
are superior to
women
" will be gradually eliminated.
However
, in the course of
this
struggle, I personally feel that "
women
's quota" is a problem worthy to discover and should be faced seriously. More specifically, I personally think that only by abolishing the quota for
women
we can return to real equal rights between
men
and
women
, it will definitely be more beneficial than harmful to the development of equal rights. As a matter of fact, in the past traditional, patriarchal society, guaranteed quotas for
women
were a necessary evil in the process of changing times,
nonetheless
,
this
was a guarantee, there may be motives behind the protection of
women
as weak, which is necessary from the perspective of historical development. In conclusion, "
women
's quota”was a process of historical and necessary democratic development, the policy provided that every woman who want to participate executive position could get the guarantee, but in a society that pursues substantive equality between
men
and
women
, I personally think that it can be discarded,
not to mention
that too much protection will only dim
women
's efforts and achievement, I partially agreed companies should be required to allocate a certain percentage of these high-level positions to
women
, but it shouldn’t be limit by gender, the most important thing is an ability, so we need to consider that how to build a comprehensive and fair policy to make sure everyone can be promoted in their field.
