Industries that are male dominated and getting female quotas imposed:
Pilots, doctors, dentistry, police, fire fighters, engineers, mechanics, construction workers, oil/gas/mining, electricians, plumbers, general & executive management, et al.

Industries which are female dominated and... oh, hang on...
Nurses (every type), allied health practitioners, teachers (at every level), laboratory technicians, medical imaging/sonography, human resources/recruitment (across all industries), cabin crew/check-in, medical sales, general retail, marketing, et al.

According to the Hays Salary Guide, 2018 (Australia)... "56% of organisations have a diversity policy for hiring new staff" - (I cannot attach the screenshot of this due to insufficient posts).

So what we can draw from this is... you guessed it... in order for organisations to appear to be all warm and fluffy to their customers and investors, merit based selection criteria are being ignored in 56% of all organisations - but only in those roles/industries which currently employ the largest proportion of majority groups (e.g. middle age, white, straight, male, etc.). so if you identify as all of those, and currently work in a role that is filled primarily with the same, prepared to be discriminated against.
