I think you overestimate the intelligence and free-thinking ability of bureaucrats and other political-correctness devotees.  When a group decrees an arbitrary gender-balancing rule like 50-50, in a field that&#x27;s 90-10 male, cynical types can absolutely manipulate them to their advantage.  In my opinion it&#x27;s just more proof that the only fair system is a blind meritocracy (or random lottery).
