great comment. I think people tend to in general look at “now” and not “how we got here.” I have been in the industry for 3 decades now, many, many, many projects, many many teams and colleges. In the 90’s when I started there was simply no women working in our industry - like none. In the early 2000’s we started getting some resumes, 1 in say 20-ish were women. In the 2010’s that number went up a bit… and when I had the pleasure of having women on my team they were without exception invaluable members of the teams…

now you are policy maker and you say “what do we do to bridge this gap? what do we do to get more women to join the industry?” the answers are largely in your comment, scholarships, interest groups, outreach, summer camps…

now are we at the point now to say “ok we good, lets ‘tone this down’” - possibly. in my personal experience I would say women are still disproportionally underrepresented but maybe we’ve “done enough”…
