If you agree that there has historically been a disparity between the genders and you agree that there is currently an gender disparity in the workplace, it is not much of jump to believe that elevating women could help to correct that problem. I see a lot of comments on posts like these claiming that it is sexist or just reproducing the problem to give women visibility or an advantage in the workplace. Usually these comments are supported by anecdotal evidence. I think these comments are supporting the status quo. Given the mountains of evidence showing gender disparity today in hiring, salary, etc, as well as the historical fact of women's position vs men over the last few thousand years, shouldn't we be leaning in the direction of trying things out?
