My position is that I don't know how the percentage of men who are interested in coding and the percentage of women who are interested in coding compare. I have no way of knowing. In fact, the reasons people pursue a particular career are undoubtedly more complex than you or I realise. For example in vetinary science, a field once dominated by men, women are now the majority. No quotas were required to achieve this reversal. So I am naturally cautious about the idea of enforcing quotas when we have no way of knowing what the natural balance should be.
