"Frauenquote" is just a specialization of the term "positive discrimination" in the UK, France, Spain and in most of the EU, and "affirmative action" in the US and some other countries. Other countries do not have a specific term for the gender case, but it is exactly the same thing, and lots of similar policies exist. You can see this by taking a look at Wikipedia/Quotenregelung which is linked to Affirmative action in English Wikipedia.

About the Pirate Party's take on this: I don't think there's a mature consensus yet. According to a recent poll (http://www.taz.de/!89247/) only 6 percent sees the party as postgender.
