Comment Re: why the focus on gender balance? (Score 1) 579
Why must any culture suit other cohorts in proportion to their percentage of population? Should sewing culture be modified to increase male participation to 50%? Should strip club culture be modified to increase female audiences to 50%?
Explicit sexual exclusion, like say the kind practiced in islam or judaism or christianity with the clergy, is wrong. But if those religions were to open up the ranks of imams, rabbis and priests to women, and there wasn't a 50% female participation rate, not only would I not be surprised, but I wouldn't be sussed.
