"I guess your also suggesting we should hire so its 50% men 50% women across all careers and industries."

We probably should considering that's how the planet's demographics largely work. There's very few jobs where this is impractical or impossible.

Also "...letting people do as they wish and supporting them with such decisions" is called being a decent human being.

Hmm, yeah ill let you also try and force women into being miners, loggers, roofers, labourers, firefighters, waste collector, welder, stonemason ete etc.

It is called being a decent human being which is actually the opposite of what your trying to do. Most humans are happy to let people choose their own paths but your actually trying to force people into something the data suggests isnt split how your perfect 50% world is.
