I don't know, maybe you just weren't competitive enough in the free market of ideas to keep up sweaty
A Serious organizational question

If party needs someone of specific skill to be in power, they can name that position and then hold contest or referendum to try to get the best person for the job. There is no need for sexist quotas.
Joshua Torres
Fucken far out dude
Charles Gray
I have never seen anyone saying this IRL. Most shit Zig Forums meme.
Liam Powell
I'm not incorrect though.
If you have a PR group, it shouldn't matter if it's 80% females or 15% females. All that should matter is that they do their job effectively.

Why is the democratic party appointment only legitimate and objective when couched in the language of "skills" and "merit" instead of recognizing the legitimacy of party democracy regardless of justification?
I'll contend that ethnicity and background can be as important, especially in outreach, as any nebulous qualification you might have such as clicking through powerpoints or reading off of a teleprompter with all the panache of someone incapable of self-criticism.

Then bring it up an an important aspect of organization.
What the fuck is so hard to understand about the idea of "the person most suited to do the job gets the job regardless of things that do not impact their ability do perform said job?"

The point that I've been hinting at here for a while, but I'll now make explicit, is that there are no objective jobs within the organization which are not themselves determined by the organization, and for each of those qualifications are also relative to the particular views and opinions of the organization members. There is no view from nowhere, but it bleeds through the screen which group you yourself hail from when you pretend that yours is that view.
This isn't a subjectivist view, but rather a properly intersubjectivist one. Pretending like you yourself can neatly divide both which jobs are necessary and which details are extraneous to those jobs is hubris. And if the job your organization settles on is first woman general secretary? You will cry foul, as if the legitimacy weren't based on the democratic process at all but rather on your own individual preconceptions of objective value.

Easy peasy. If the organization decides that gender equality is a priority, then if you have a chairperson you can have two chairpersons, one male and one female, and the organization's members vote on the most qualified for each. CPUSA recently switched to this structure (pictured, one of the two co-chairs).

Well. with this kind of goal I can see that this organization has nothing to do with worker movement. I could understand if you brought that task such as "outreach to gypsy communities" needs gypsy leader, or task of assistance to pregnant women needs woman with kids as leader.
…then it's organization which should be located in middle east, or be viewed with great amount of skepticism.
