If Google achieves a 51% Female 49% Male ratio, is this good?
Supporters of forced diversity are implying it is, but why? If there is something gained by having gender X, then you are saying that genders are not equal. If there is no difference, then why are we doing this? Why are we basing employment on gender anyway? I'd like to see stats regarding people looking for work who are successful and those that are not. If a woman wants to stay at home, can we not accept her choice? If a man wants to stay at home while the woman is breadwinner, is this not okay too? |

> then you are saying that genders are not equal No, you're saying that their life experience is not equal. There's no inequality in terms of ability, but in terms of what you know.

Closest proxy I can find is a study of success rate for MBAs by gender.[1] No surprise whatsoever, women experience lower salaries and career satisfaction. Also, women have less upward mobility into management positions.
> If a woman wants to stay at home, can we not accept her choice? The issue is not wanting to stay at home.

Of course it is. To make that possible, we need to close the salary gap and address glass ceiling issues.
