Here is a thought. Is there a quota for female truck drivers? How about female garbage collectors? Female concreters? Of course there isn't because they are blue collar working class jobs. There is an acute shortage of male teachers and nurses but I don't see anyone making a fuss about that.
Pilots, CEO's and politicians. Now they have some standing in the community. They are "high profile" jobs. Better get some quotas in quick to appease all the action groups and grab some quick votes.
