So is your solution is to limit the number of men allowed to enter the field or to require women to major in that field? I personally prefer free choice and, as it turns out, there are some fields that more men than women want to enter and there are some fields that more women then men want to enter. Then let those in the field (both men and women) compete for positions on their ability rather than their gender.Well then, both sides cancel each other! All is fixed!
Oh wait...
Women in primarily male professions are much sought after, not because of their higher qualifications but because so few women in comparison are in the fields.
That means as long as those policies are in place, women are at a disadvantage. I guess there's no equality until those policies become unnecessary because of parity.
Those demanding equal representation of men and women in a profession have just invented a problem where no problem exists just so they can rail against it. There is nothing wrong with more of one gender than the other gender being interested in a particular field.
