God forbid we hire the best person for the job.  Research chairs picked by their gender?  This is ludicrous.  All the problems this country faces, and our childish, uninformed  prime minister is going to fix everything by making sure we have gender equality.  It is as stupid as limiting your selection of cabinet ministers by selecting by gender, not quality.  I would not care if it was 100% women, if they are the best for the job.
