I'm all in favour of Ms Soh and her argument. The one request I have for her is to please cite the research on greater gender equity leading to greater diversity of career choice. I don't doubt it, I just want to be able to point to it when I get into a fight about it. It occurs to me that those who get all aerated about quotas and affirmative action should strongly support broader gender equity, it might lead to MORE chances for mediocre males to work in their preferred area of interest.
