Having to hire 30% women and how you choose to find the right ones is unrelated. Again descrimination happens categorically. The positive descrimination also happens categorically offsets that. I get your point about individuals but talking about means is not the same as talking about the emotions of groups (as if they could have them). I think "levelling playing fields" is a better metaphor. Just as the best boxer doesn't win every fight, policy hopes for fairer outcomes in the main. Often positive descrimination policy is introduced based on measurably successful precedent set elsewhere.
