I've not been able to wrap my head around this issue. What is the thinking behind the desire to even sex ratios in various profession? Why are some professions receiving more attention than others when it comes to evening sex ratios. Is a perfect world when every construction site, hospital, and dreary programming job (lets be honest most of them aren't fun) has an even mix of the sexes? What is the benefit? Can someone explain this in logical, non-political, terms. Surely there's some benefit to individuals or society but I can't figure out what that might be. I don't want my daughters sucked into dangerous oil field work prone to boom and bust cycles. Why would that be ideal?
