The only appropriate correction is to remove bias. That's it. That's the only morally defensible goal. Trying to get a numerical balance isn't feminism, it's metric-based thinking, optimizing the thing that's easy to measure. It's a fallacy in measuring productivity and it's a fallacy here.
How about this: Should we mandate a numerical balance between men and women in grade school teachers? Should we not hire qualified women until there's a 1:1 ratio between men to women in K-6 education? Why or why not?
