> It's not really a joke. In any instant, equal proportions of men and women would represent equality (by sex). But taking the long view, 100% of the positions in those fields were held by men, so 100% would have to be held by women for a while in order to redress the historical injustice. This is "equity", a step beyond mere equality, and it's the E in DEI/JEDI.

I think this statement is going past equity straight into reparations.

Equality: Men and Women should have equal criteria for getting the job.

Equity: Women should have an easier time to counter an unbalanced gender representation

This statement: Women should have an easier time because men in the past had an easier time, even if the pendulum shifts.
