It only solves the problem if women submit papers at close to the same rate (or even a proportional rate) as men, which is not the case. That is, of course, ignoring the yardstick—who gets to decide what has merit?

That correction would be artificial and as such, detrimental to furtherance of our art and science. The time to correct structural discrimination is long before anyone is submitting papers to present research they've already done.
