11. I disagree that it's failed

Not according to the research I did. Not for Norway, anyway. According to some experts, it was asserted that it would take 1-2 generations for the results of the legislation to come to fruition, because for the most part young girls didn't see themselves in those positions because they didn't have any role models. Now that they had role models, that would likely change. Also, there was still reluctance on the part of the males with regards to the legislation, but it is predicted that will change (I'm assuming as younger men come in to those positions). So you can't say it's failed - it has barely even begun.
