Feminism by definition is equality between all genders. Progressivism is the movement to free humans from the shackles of conservatism and social inequality. Quotas ensure that the end goals of both feminism and progressivism are never achieved.

Why should anyone, no matter their gender or nationalist or race or whatever, have an advantage over someone else when it comes to hiring for a job only because that someone else's grandfather was part of a system that forced women into the kitchen? We progressives do not want reverse inequality but actual equality. What's equal about women being forced into job positions for the employer to meet a certain minimum amount of women in the given enterprise? I wouldn't care if a business was made 100% of men or 100% of women. If I know that the employer chose these people to work for him I respect his decision.

How do the supporters of statutory quotas want to achieve equality if they use things like this to make men and women hate each other? The gender divide can only end if we forget about double standards, pay everyone equally and stand up for women living in the Arab world.

I am really frustrated at the fact that almost all right wingers are eurosceptical, nationalist and conservative, while really all progressive parties are center left or far left economically. Why is there noone who would want both a functional and competitive economy that supports innovation while respecting LGBTQ rights and feminism? It's crazy that people like me have to make a compromise between the usually homophobic and culturally biased center right and the socialist center left that ruins economies. I don't want to be ordered around by socialists or conservatives who have strict lifestyle rules and want to tell me who I may marry and want to tax me for making more money than someone else. I don't want to spread hate, but I feel like both sides of the spectrum are pretty crazy.

So we all probably know that communists/marxists/socialists brag about how unfair capitalism is and how it is basically just a dictatorship of the bourgeoisie, which is partially true because of corporate exploitation, despite doing the exact same but maybe even worse through forced employment and forced labor.

Anarchocapitalists hate the very existence of the state and treat businessmen like saints. They consider capitalism a form of freedom and communism a violation of human rights and individualism, while they have absolutely no problem with workers working for extremely low wages and barely making enough to survive, which draws a line between the rich and the poor similarily to how communism draws a line between the government and the people.

Ultimately, I consider both a form of slavery, where slavery from the side of the state or from the ultra-rich (which are paradoxically one and the same) and think that in this case, the horseshoe theory is real.
