Friedrich Merz is missing at the annual start of the women’s network

The fact that only two of three invited Chancellor candidates only appear at the annual start of the Frauen100 network has nothing to do with the current political turbulence.

The fact that Friedrich Merz was repeatedly asked and canceled with reference to other appointments confirms entrepreneur Verena Pauster before her interviews with Robert Habeck and Olaf Scholz on the balcony in the club-restaurant Crackers. The balcony immediately seduces Robert Habeck to the association “Romeo and Julia”.

Nevertheless, several people believe that, unlike Friedrich Merz, he is almost a sure-fire success when it comes to conquering voters-in the end. Jutta Allmendinger is surprised at how lively the Chancellor comes across live in contrast to some TV appearances.

Laconically does not always have to be a weakness. When asked what men can learn from women, Scholz Knapp replies: “Listening would be an option.” This evening there are significantly more men than usual, and unfortunately they are not all particularly disciplined when it comes to paying full attention to the events on stage.

As a precaution, Verena Pauster, slightly damaged after a skiing accident, asked the Chancellor not to knock her on her shoulder. In fact, she manages to stay consistently with the women’s issues that should be done here, even though one would effortlessly trust a top entrepreneur like her or the other critical question of facts to the Minister of Economy.

From the “fuss” to weight

But it is about giving the former “tone” more weight step by step. So the focus is on various aspects of the poorer income situation of women. It is about care work, structural disadvantages, especially compared to other European countries, where women can take advantage of many more possibilities for childcare.

As a father of four adult sons, Habeck points out that this has not only political but also cultural reasons, because in the rural environment the term “raven parents” was quickly at hand. In any case, it did not harm his children that they went to the daycare center instead of constantly hanging around with him, he says.

And decides, questioned about priorities, then also for early childhood education. However, it shocked that it was in the start -up scene, where progressive people are on the road, women are still clearly in the minority. Such a future focus.

Olaf Scholz is shocked by how long the introduction of all-day lessons in primary schools last: “Should be a reality.” But the gender-pay-gap, which is repeatedly discussed, also drives him up, the fact that in professions that is chosen a lot by women, is paid comparatively poorly.

Far too many women part -time

A law according to which women have to sit in parliaments as well as men, as well as the full-time employment of women in Germany is just as much discussed in Germany.

In conversation by moderator Anja Reschke with director Karoline Herfurth, it is about her new film “more beautiful” and about whether women are really free. Natalia Wörner talks about the urgency to implement the law of violence.

And Jutta Allmendinger gives a lecture on the demands of the non -partisan economic working group of the network. The revival to be observed to be observed is concerned. Over 400,000 missing daycare places and the insufficient deduction of childcare costs must also be spoken.

Power women and media powerful men

At one point, the “social disaster” caused by Friedrich Merz is mentioned, but not much discussed. It is clear that Chancellor candidates will also follow in the choice of their appointments. In this case, the CDU candidate could also feel badly advised because he could not only have hit successful power women in the smallest space.

This time, a lot of media powerful men also have a look, including time editors Giovanni di Lorenzo, the Burda CEO Philipp Welte, RTL Hauptstadtbüro boss Nikolaus Blome, Politico editor-in-chief Gordon Repinski and Podcaster Sascha Lobo.

Writer Benjamin from Stuckrad-Barre even sees himself as a muse of the network of beautiful feminists who drink champagne and have no shyness to put a confidently earned money into chic designer dresses.

Regardless of the current one, the evening with the aim of contributing to an equal society, handing over the change, for example for Lisa Paus, Hubertus Heil, Dunja Hayali, Julia Jäkel, Florence Kasumba, Julia Klöckner and Ricarda Lang.
