The Ada Initiative takes a different approach

One of the reasons racism and sexism are still problems in some venues is that some people won't let them die.

In a way, claiming that there should be a certain ratio of male-to-female in anything is hypocritical from those who clamor for equality, because equality is really about freedom--having freedom equal to anyone else's freedom, regardless of sex, race, etc. People of both sexes are free (or ought to be free) to choose their activities and interests. No one ought to be telling women (or men) to be involved in (or not be involved in) whatever projects they choose because of an artificial problem of male/female ratio.

And, in fact, what is happening is more attention is being drawn to people's sex, which is the antithesis of the equality movements (which go too far when they attempt to erase differences between the sexes)! It's being made more of an issue instead of less of an issue.

Just let people do what they want. Yeesh.
