Without further clarification or elaboration, your comment does not seem to make much sense.

Consider the extreme case of children vs adults. Should we advocate for policies that force companies to employ children because we think it's more equal that way?

I'm not trying to say women are children or anything like that, just taking your position to it's absurd conclusion to show that it's at least questionable.

That's hardly a fair comparison. It's not illegal for women to work (anymore).

That's not a fair interpretation of my comment.

You said:

> Evolutionary biology explains the way things are. Diversity measures combats that with the goal of getting us to the way things should be.

But you provide no reason why you want things to be a certain way.

For example, if it is true that less women are interested in STEM, then, why do you think that we should have 50/50 men and women in STEM?

That just seems like arbitrarily trying to enforce your vision on reality for no good reason.
