In your view, how bad is the misogyny on this board? If you see none or very little you just might not be the most impartial judge of what constitutes fair hiring practices at ECB or anywhere.
ECB: Men need not apply

In your view, how bad is the misogyny on this board? If you see none or very little you just might not be the most impartial judge of what constitutes fair hiring practices at ECB or anywhere.
The problem extends far beyond misogyny, and touches upon a general weakening of professional and morale standards by the senior management of these large public institutions.
The recent scandal of the IMF managing director asking her staff to manipulate the data to please China tells a lot about where we are now...

Insider here: the problem is not only the gender equality target.
Whole institution is going down the drain under Lagarde and the rest of the new woke Executive Board.
Priorities are completely f***ed up: with inflation at record highs, there are hundreds of people working on random topics, from climate to diversity and just a couple of divisions still focused on relevant policy work.
In just two years a respected institution has turned into a laughing stock. The many serious people must swallow the b*****it and count the days until Lagarde is gone. Morale is really low, because no-one dares to say out loud what they think.
Many senior managers leaving all at the same time: it is not a coincidence. They were either told to leave or they left because they saw where the institutions is headed to.Who has left the ECB recently? FS, right, but is that related to this Lagarde effect?
The director generals with stellar track record of professionalism of DG Economics, Financial Stability and International. All gone in just a couple of months. Two of them replaced by women with much weaker profiles.

IV at DG-International is way better than the German guy before who had no clues

To apply at the ECB one has to answer some personal questions about disability and gender. I'm pretty sure that is illegal to use those criteria to screen applications. Usually when you apply in UK it is stated that these info are not part of the application documents. For the sake of transparency the ECB should be open if indeed men need not apply...or what other criteria inform their decisions other than CVs

Guys, I am a woman and I just want to let you know that I totally agree with your points on men discrimination
Hard to believe. Prove to us that you’re a woman.
Describe your year in one sentence, in 10 to 20 words. We’ll infer.You know it is sexist simply to assume that all women think alike.
Just as it is sexist to assume that hiring female candidates, or restricting the pool of candidates to females, for research and policy positions at the ECB somehow comes at the expense of merit. THAT can only happen if one believes that women are inherently inferior as economists, which is absurd.
-
The only reason to believe that hiring more female economists is bad is because you think that, somehow, economics produced by female economists is inherently inferior to that produced by male economists. And that, my friends, is the very definition of sexism.
Is that sexism? Let's compare the bodies of work.

For me it is simply absurd to believe that there should be 50% women in all institutions, across all levels - for what? There can be 70% men at ECB and 30% men at IMF - what is the problem??
Also, I can see the struggles of my men colleagues, my brother etc.. if I am a women it does not mean I look only at women's interest. I live and care about the other people too.

Is that supposed to be a criticism of JBP? He nailed the root cause for institutions wrecking themselves with DEI: men cannot confront toxic women the way they confront toxic men. We just can’t. Just like we can’t scold/punish toddlers the way we do adult men.
