The solution to the shortage of women on television is in the spotlight – HP / De Tijd

This week it was announced that the NPO has not met his own wife quota. Five years ago there were about the number of women in the public service agreements with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science. That dismal number was up. Instead, the percentage of women on television declined from 37.6 percent in 2010 to 35.4 percent this year. Especially in talk shows the contrast is great, calculated NRC Handelsblad . The World Keeps Turning at the table last season was only 18 percent female. They are humble people say, or simply do not want. But the real problem lies with the viewer (m / f), not the women.

De Volkskrant early welcome talkshow men for their opinion on the female deficit. According to Arno Vermeulen, chief of the NIS football, women do not dare to debate. “To talk show tables you often macho behavior. If you’re passive or what is dreaming, then it is subject over. “Writer Özcan Akyol thinks women are too uncertain and too nuanced. And according to Maxim Hartman are especially beautiful women who are not highly verbal – ugly women have more fighting spirit. Paul Jansen of The Telegraph the problem does not. “The point is that a guest has a good story, then it does not matter whether a man or a woman it says.” Were there really so few women with a good story? I doubt it.

Charming but not flirtatious
The problem is that a woman on television must meet more requirements than a man, and at the same time less can afford. In addition to expert – a quality which no doubt will be repeated until the contrary is proved – they should be fun to watch, have self-mockery, not arrogant and certainly not sour or bad. They must be funny, entertaining and charming but not too flirtatious or sexy. Women as Halina Reijn and Victoria Koblenko weeks are reviled as they ogled to anyone on the tube, while the male subject remains unspoken.

Pipe Queen of the Low Countries
Sets Just imagine, tell a woman who, like Herman Brusselmansstraat comes openly about her sexcapades. She, the Queen of pipe Low Countries, is in fact stopped pipes. A man is on the other side of the table they reply with “I can not hear what you say, because I’m just thinking that I would ever want you legs.” My God, what one would shriek with laughter. Matthijs van Nieuwkerk would try to ask a serious question here and there. “Is it a relief?” Or “And what now?”

Or just imagine that a woman with her feigned Maarten van Rossem-esque petulance sidekick to Philip Freriks kicking. Media ask her spluttering to her fractious opinion on various topics in the hope lots of chagrin and disinterest. “Tour de France? Baloney. Pure restraint “To top it all off she gets grumpy own program.

No, masculine reality for women is a fairytale future scenario. And that’s not unwilling television newsrooms or male machismo. If only it were that simple. Much more important than a quota is a giant chisel to any fixed ideas about women to eat once thoroughly loose. And that is a hell of a job.
