Did you check out the study above on quotas shrinking stereotype and competence gaps?

When it comes to gender, until we get a whole lot more transhuman, we will still need to be aware of biological differences related to pregnancy. We need a different model to reintegrate women into their jobs after leaves (or we need mandatory paternity leave to compensate for the biological difference). Trying to get to the point where we can ignore gender too fast really means asking women to fit the male model.
