For the same reason its important for there to be as many women in mining, oil rigging, heavy industry, and forestry.

Are you being facetious? Obviously labor intensive work does not reap the same benefits from diversity of perspectives as scientific or creative fields.

Are you being facetious? How does science benefit from a diversity of genitalia? I'm not saying women should or shouldn't do this or that.. but the irrational compulsion to force equity between the sexes is stupid. Providing equal opportunity is good. Forcing equal outcome is evil.

I believe what I said was that science benefits from a diversity of "perspectives".

But go on, rant against those straw men if it makes you feel better.

Gender quota != diversity of perspective

[tomp]

You haven't explained how diversity of sex/gender contributes to diversity of perspectives. Also, are you happy to hire white nationalists and racists in the name of "diversity of perspective"? If not, then you're not being honest in your argument...
