I would like to see more females in these positions, but affirmative action is not the solution.  All affirmative action does is focus on meeting quotas instead of hiring the best possible.  A better solution would be to find out why more women are not applying and finding ways to encourage more to apply so if you have more women applying things should move towards a more equal outcome.  Affirmative action has good intentions and is sometimes needed, but should be done as a last resort and there are better ways to increase female participation.
