Police force? FireFighter? Do they have to lift the same?

If you're hiring to fill out a 4 person tech team and you've got 3 men, and a quota 50% male/female split, would you say men have an equal chance at the job. Or less of a chance?

Being intellectually honest, you will admit the criteria for the men in that case are harder, or perhaps impossible to achieve.

If the criteria for one sex are significantly harder (impossible without gender affirming care) then the criteria for the other sex are easier.

I've never ever heard of a quota where I do interviewing, which is tech. As the article is about Apple I thought tech was assumed, and not the roles you are talking about, which are obviously different and I have no experience in.
