Equal chances != perfect employee ratio. You can clearly see this in other fields, as shown by @imaginenore. I'm all for equal opportunity, but imho framing the real problem as "the gender percentage" brings wrong solutions.
Again. This has been shown to be wrong. Fixing the percentage tends to fix the issue. Look at racial profiling of poor blacks by police. Adding more officers from similar backgrounds has been shown to reduce problematic incidents.
Likewise adding females to boards through quota systems has been shown to improve governance and quality of decision making.
