Before writing this poorly reasoned article, it's clear she didn't read this first: http://blogs.lse.ac.uk/businessreview/2017/03/13/gender-quotas-and-the-crisis-of-the-mediocre-man/

"A common criticism against gender quotas is that they are anathema to meritocratic principles. This research on Sweden shows that the opposite can be true: Quotas actually increased the competence of politicians by leading to the displacement of mediocre men whether as candidates or leaders."

Quotas are about hiring qualified applicants from traditionally-overlooked demographics; not about advancing the unqualified. Never has been. The amount of 'poor-us-white-men'ning here is remarkable. Almost like they're afraid to compete on a levelled playing field.
