Yeah... I guess it's needed once to kinda break the resistance / bias against women. But in the long term it should definitely not exists.

I would propose slowly ramping it up to 50% over a range of maybe 20 years? Then hold it for 10, and drop it.

From there on it should be fair game. If the imbalance should happen again, then I guess it's just how it is...

(The slow ramp-up is so you don't fill up with the first best women available, which maybe might not necessarily be the best candidates... Which would lead to more bias if they fail the job, instead of the opposite.)
