Lee, sorry but your writing exhibits signs of sexism. "Little lady"? Gee. 

Also, this proposal isn't 100% far fetched. Hair stylists have long been sources of consolation. Some are better than the counselors, attorneys and doctors you suggest. At least they listen. Call HR? Sure. I'd like to share that information at work. (Not.)  And, yes, are you saying stylists (who are mostly female BTW and do turn into friends over the years) are dumber than muay thai instructors? Sounds like it. 

I also agree with others who challenge your use of statistics. 3% of the contracts to women-owned firms? What percent of the firms are women-owned in the first place? Perhaps it would make you feel better if those firms got extra contracts to boost the award ratio.
